Brandon Caesar tore his patellar tendon and will be out for the year. That is tough for a this promising star. Injuries kept him from competing last year and will keep him out again all year. He is the reason the medical red shirt was invented and shouldn’t have any trouble campaigning the NCAA.
So where does that leave the CU running game. Hugh Charles and Byron Ellis are going to be our supermen. They are not long on experience, last year Ellis ran for 61 yards on 19 carries and Charles had 49 yards on 17 carries, but they are who we have access to.
Anybody else? V-Back Lawrence Vickers might need to shift roles to be our prominent back instead of our full back. That’s too bad because our team is better with him at full. Maurice Greer our top recruit – academically ineligible and will attend junior college this year instead. Leaving us with one final name. Kevin Moyd. A name I expect we will all become quite familiar with over the course of the season. In high school, Moyd carried the ball 160 times for over 900 yards and 10 touchdowns. He chose the Buffs over Florida State and the 5-8, 190-pounder runs a 4.5 40-yard dash. Not too shabby.
Walk ons are still welcome. David Bellamy are you still eligible?
