Heading into their fifth game of the 2022 season, the Colorado Buffaloes haven’t exactly been putting up many shiny numbers. Their 0-4 start is among the worst in program history and we’re all desperate for some relief.
The Buffs’ youth, while a positive in some respects, has unfortunately been a major reason for some of the early woes. Karl Dorrell’s roster is full of inexperienced puzzle pieces and many of them haven’t aligned quite yet.
On that same note, the Buffs are already close to tying the program record for the number of different pass catchers in a season (h/t CU Sports Information). Eighteen different Buffs have hauled in a pass thus far, which is just one way from the record 19 — set in 1999 and 2004. There’s a good chance that Colorado will tie that record against Arizona because with the recent changes in the running backs room, Charlie Offerdahl is getting some more play and he still hasn’t caught a pass yet this season. Dorrell said he’ll play the hot hand at running back against Arizona, if you were wondering.
There are both positives and negatives to having 18 different pass catchers already. One positive is that it alludes to having some depth, but it also means the Buffs are still struggling to find a core group of playmakers.
