CU Offense: Who to Watch in the RMS

The 2017 version of the Rocky Mountain Showdown is quickly approaching. Tomorrow can't get here soon enough. There are lots of players I want to see, because I expect them to perform well.

Offense

QB Steven Montez
This young man has all the skills needed to help him become one of the best to ever play for Colorado. He has Phillip "T.D." Lindsay behind him and one of the best collection of wide receivers in the country. And, he has a solid line in front of him. Look out.

RB Phillip "T.D." Lindsay 
The Tasmanian Devil is looking to become the first Buff to run for more than 1000 yards in consecutive seasons. Barring injury, count on that happening. The fireball is the emotional heartbeat of this team and fans can fully expect great things from him.

The Wide Outs -- Fields, Bobo, Ross & MacIntyre
Co- OC Darrin Chiaverini must be champing on the bit to get his position group into the game. His group is one of the best in the country, and has to give opposing defensive coordinators nightmares. What makes it even scarier is that the second team group (Winfree, Ento, Nixon and Walker) might well be as good as the first team. 

The Offensive Line -- Irwin, Kough, Huckins, Lynott & Haigler
Coach Klayton Adams took over coaching the offensive line last year and the team won 10 games. Another year with Adams at the head of this group promises even better blocking and unity. These guys are the horses that the skill position players will ride and these young men are ready for the challenge.

Newcomers to Watch --

Juwann Winfree - WR
Before he was injured in the spring of 2016, this young man was earning raves as possibly the best and most talented guy in a phenomenal group of wide receivers. If fully healthy, he could become a star for the offense.

Sam Noyer - QB
Fans are hoping that Mike MacIntyre and Brian Lindgren learned a valuable lesson last year and will give Noyer a chance to play some meaningful snaps if the Buffs get out to big leads. Over the last several years, they left Sefo Liufau in WAY too long in big wins and paid the price when he went down to injury in big games throughout his career.

Noyer has been turning heads since he arrived on campus, and could provide solid  backup to Montez.

Beau Bisharat - RB
This 4-Star back arrived last season and did outstanding work on special teams. This year, he'll give the Buffs a BIG back option on short yardage situations for the first time in what seems like forever.

Michael Adkins - RB
Adkins isn't a newcomer, but has had numerous injuries to deal with in his career. We're hoping his senior year can be injury free and he can finally fulfill the promise he's shown when healthy.


GO BUFFS!
