The Colorado Buffaloes went into the preseason last week without a firm decision as to who the starting quarterback for this season will be. At the end of the 2008 season and throughout the spring practices, Head Coach Dan Hawkin’s son Cody and Tyler Hansen were duking it out on the field to see who would be listed as starting quarterback on the Colorado Buffaloes roster.
Tyler Hansen sustained an injury to his thumb during the spring game and had surgery shortly after. Many thought that the injury would be the deciding factor. However, the Colorado Buffaloes player battled back and went into the preseason summer practices ready to play. Coach Hawkins said that he has not set a deadline for deciding who will play but would like to start making decisions soon so that his team can practice more effectively for the Colorado Buffaloes season opener against Colorado State on September 6th.
Both players will likely see game time, with one starting most of the games and the other as a relief quarterback so that whomever is named as the starter can stay healthy and strong well into the season. My suggestions are get to as many Colorado Buffaloes games as possible, because one thing is for sure no matter who is named starting quarterback the other player is sure to make a fight for the spot!
