Defensive lineman Mustafa Johnson declares for the NFL Draft. Thoughts?
- Good for him. He was a senior this year, and, after seeing what happened to Landman, "I don’t want to risk injury for another year" rings true (62%, 173 Votes)
- Wonder when Coach Dorrell said that Johnson was returning, if he knew that he really wasn't ... or if this is a sign (with other defections) that the coaching staff is losing the players (20%, 55 Votes)
- A tough week for CU and its fans. Nixon, Rakestraw, Mangham and now Johnson (not to mention the lost coaches). This is all getting a little hard for me to take! Some good news soon, please! (18%, 52 Votes)

Running back Jaren Mangham and safety Derrion Rakestraw join K.D. Nixon in the Transfer Portal. Thoughts?
- I can see Mangham, as the running back room is loaded, but Rakestraw was a starter, and would have projected to be a starter - a real loss (39%, 139 Votes)
- I understand that the Transfer Portal is here to stay. I just wish that CU would be more active in the receiving than the giving. Seems like CU is falling behind other Pac-12 schools in this race (31%, 110 Votes)
- Sounds like Karl Dorrell is cleaning out more than the coaches' room. Have to trust that Dorrell knows what he is doing, and will be making additions which will balance off the losses (30%, 109 Votes)

Senior wide receiver K.D. Nixon enters Transfer Portal, will play a second senior season elsewhere. Thoughts?
- A win/win for both parties. K.D. can find a school where he can be a featured receiver, while CU can move on to younger (more talented) receivers without any guilt (67%, 266 Votes)
- Thanks to K.D. for his contribution (including the 96-yard touchdown against Nebraska!), but the fact is that he has been passed on the roster, and CU can use the extra scholarship (29%, 116 Votes)
- This is not turning out to be a good week for CU. First S&C Coach Drew Wilson; then DC Tyson Summers; now WR K.D. Nixon. Fixtures at CU, all. Sign of a fissure between the old guard and the new? (4%, 14 Votes)

Tyson Summers out after two years as the defensive coordinator at CU. Thoughts?
- You don't let go your defensive coordinator in mid-January without a plan. Let's see who Dorrell has in mind for Summers' replacement before celebrating (or mourning) (71%, 264 Votes)
- I like it. It's a bold move by Karl Dorrell. CU's defensive numbers (31.8 ppg. in 2019; 31.67 in 2020) are subpar. Nice to see coach Dorrell is willing to take bold steps to improve the team (18%, 69 Votes)
- Not a fan. Buffs have had three head coaches in three years, and needed some continuity. Defense played better this year, and almost all are back, but will now have to learn a new system (or transfer) (11%, 41 Votes)

Buffs overcome a ten-point halftime deficit (37-27) to take out Utah on the road, 65-58. Thoughts?
- I'm glad to see the Buffs break an eight-game losing streak in Salt Lake City. There are still two more games this week, so there's no time to celebrate. Take the win and move on (quickly) (48%, 140 Votes)
- A really nice road win to pick up. Buffs continue to show character in overcoming adversity. Bodes well for future Pac-12 games (and, dare we say it, the NCAA tournament!) (43%, 125 Votes)
- This just in ... you can't fall ten points behind good teams and expect to come back. Fortunately, the Utes aren't very good this year (2-11 FT's helped). Can't depend on that going forward (9%, 24 Votes)

The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
