Since the start of the 2016 season, has been the rock of the Colorado offensive line.

Prior to Friday night, Lynott had started 27 of the Buffaloes’ previous 29 games, missing only the final two games of the 2017 season with an Achilles’ tendon injury.

During the Buffs’ 38-16 win against UCLA, however, the junior right guard stood on the sidelines. For the first time in his career, he was a healthy backup.

“Timmy’s been doing well,” head coach said after practice Monday. “Some of the other guys have been playing a little bit better.”

Although undefeated and ranked No. 21 in the country, the Buffs (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) are still a work in progress up front. They continue to strive to find their best group as they go into Saturday’s matchup with Arizona State (3-2, 1-1).
