 PRACTICE ACCESS (MEDIA & PUBLIC): Most spring practices are generally closed; admittance to high school coaches, former players, staff members and donors and sponsors (accompanied by appropriate CU staff) is allowed, provided they register with the football operations office in advance.  SPRING POLICIES: Media members must wear their CU season credential for any open practices (anyone taking notes or photos must be credentialed media); no cell phones, pets, camera phones, video cameras or pets permitted. Other restrictions may take effect if the weather forces the team indoors.  PLAYER INTERVIEWS. There is availability after practice (SID personnel are on hand to coordinate). All player interviews must be requested through the SID office (and as always, it is the player’s prerogative to grant or not); the SID staff will coordinate interviews at other times of day. The interview window post- practice is generally 15-20 minutes; remember, the players have to shower, change, eat and then have classes either at Noon or 1 p.m. Freshmen are off limits for interviews until the season (non-football requests at the discretion of the head coach).  PRO-TIMING DAY (March 6; afternoon session with 2018 seniors). Media members who wish to attend need to pre-register with the sports information office.  CELL PHONE POLICY: Cell phone activity at any practice (other than the spring game) by the media and public is prohibited inside authorized areas during practices. This includes calls, text messaging and live blogging as well as transmissions to social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, etc.).  PHOTOGRAPHY RULES: Credentialed photographers will be allowed photo access for about 20 minutes of all practices (longer for open scrimmages, no time constraints); this will usually be somewhere between 8:20-9:00. CU’s standard photography guidelines must be utilized (no wide shots to show formations or recording of cadences; up close and tight as in the fall, and coaches may request additional plays or other things not be filmed or photographed).

PRE-SPRING Q & A WITH MEL TUCKER March 11, 2018 (from press conference)

schemes, things like that. We have to learn how to practice. Our tempo is going to be fast. Our goal is to always have the practices be harder than the games and in order to do that, you have to learn how to practice. It’s not natural to practice at game speed every rep, but that’s what we’re going to do. We’ll probably have to build up to that, but at the end of spring , I want to make sure everyone knows how to work, how to practice. I want to know who can play. If you try to do too much scheme wise, especially the first year with a new staff, you’ll come out of spring talking about what guys can’t do and what they don’t know, instead of saying, ‘this is what they know and this what they can do.’ That’s what I want to make sure is that we know what type of team we have coming out of spring ball.”

I think it is a blessing and a privilege to back as far as possible to give us enough time to get these guys in shape. be able to participate at this university.” We have done that. Drew (Wilson) has done a great job with the strength and conditioning. When the coaches came off the road from recruiting, the On First Spring As A Head Coach coaches got involved also. The team has really shaped up. They look like “I’ve been so through many springs in college and pro ball. I know that they are in really good condition. I think we will be able to have a very this first spring I want to establish the culture on the field. How we practice, efficient and effective spring ball, so I am very excited about that. We are how we prepare, how we work. Although we have to get our schemes still going to practice in the morning in spring ball and also in the fall.

I love to coach, and I finally get a chance putting our guys in position every day where they can be evaluated, and we to get my hands on these guys, roll up my sleeves and see what they can can find out who can play.

I told him that I thought he had a chance to be a really great player and that I On How Hands-On He Will Be As A Head Coach want to be a part of his career. I told him I wanted him to be here and he “I’ll be hands on. I’m very enthusiastic in practice, I like to make sure that said that’s what he wanted to do as well. It has worked out well so far.” I set the tempo for the coaches and the players, so I’ll do that. But I also have to make sure that the practices run smoothly, so practice organization On What He’s Seen From The Team During Strength & is a big part of what I have to do. I have to make sure that the coaches can Conditioning Sessions coach and that we’re efficient and effective. Obviously, I'm going to get in “I really like the way they finish.

I wanted to make sure the guys were straining to finish the drills and they have done that each and every day. They have pushed each On Process Of Building Camaraderie Among New Staff other to do that. They have gotten better every week. I actually see a “Communication, communication, communication – that's what it's all transformation in their bodies because of what we have done in the weight about.

2019 Colorado Football / PRE-SPRING Q&A WITH MEL TUCKER

On Establishing A Culture “It's huge. I think the two main factors in success are environment and expectations. A lot of that is culture. How we go about our business on a day to day basis? What are these standards? What are our goals? How do we work with each other? How do we compete? How do we handle a loss and a win in a drill? Those are things that we have to establish in the spring and then going into the summer we’ll build on that and take it into the fall camp and then eventually into the season. Culture is huge.”

On Evaluating Last Season’s Tape Versus Giving Everyone Fresh Start “I did a little bit of both. I went back and I’ve watched some games but I get more out of watching the workouts, how those guys compete in the drills and how those guys lift. I get a lot more out of that. Then I’m going staff in the weight room, have done a fantastic job. They’ve taken it up a to get a chance to see them play for 15 practices in spring ball. So I did do few notches. I’ve met with each and every player, including the walk-ons, some research on some of the games they played, but I want these guys to for at least five or 10 minutes in my office, and they’re all really excited have a clean slate. I want them to have a fresh start. The past, we’re going about how we’re working in the offseason program and what they’re to let it go. We’re starting out clean.” learning scheme-wise from our coaches in the meetings. I think it’s been a productive winter.

He can really help us out on offense in a lot of ways. To “Leaders are going to naturally emerge and we’ll see who those guys are. I have a strong offensive line is critical. To be able to run the ball and think you also have to grow leaders, you have to put people in position to establish dominance in the trenches and also be able to protect our lead and teach them how to lead. Initially it’s going to be the coaches. The quarterback is huge. Same thing on defense, we want to be stout on the coaches are going to lead and then eventually the goal would be to have the defensive line.

EYE ON RENEWING THE RIVALRY: CU & AIR FORCE

Colorado and Air Force will renew their rivalry on the gridiron this Sept. 14; they have not played since 1974 (in Colorado Springs) and since 1973 in Boulder. It also means the Buffaloes will open with three straight significant all-time rivals: Colorado State, Nebraska and the Falcons. Some CU-Air Force tidbits:

THE COLORADO-AIR FORCE SERIES Colorado leads, 12-4 (in Boulder 7-3; at USAFA 5-1)

THE LAST TIME

By the time CU and AFA reunite on the gridiron this Sept. 14, 45 years will have passed between then and when they last met; going back to their last meeting on Oct. 5, 1974, here’s are some fast facts of the day/year:

 The No. 1 song in the nation that week was I Honestly Love You by Olivia Newton-John (the top song of the year was The Way We Were by Barbra Streisand);  38 Special, The Ramones, Cheap Trick, Blondie and Boulder’s own Firefall all debuted in the music world, while The Moody Blues and Jefferson Airplane disbanded, though the Blues returned in 1977;  All In The Family aired that night as the No. 1 show on television, a position it would finish in for the year;  The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Taking Of Pelham 123 were the top movies that week; for the year, Godfather II ruled the roost;  Book: Jaws, by Peter Benchle, topped the best seller lists that week;  Gerald Ford was just two days away from completing his second month as U.S. President, as Richard Nixon resigned on August 8; Ford of course would spent many days after his tenure as POTUS in Colorado (Vail);  Countries with different names now included Burma, Czechoslovakia, Dutch Guiana, Rhodesia, Southwest Africa, Yugoslavia and Zaire.

And on the professional landscape:  The Denver Broncos, coming off their best record in its 14-year franchise history (7-5-2 in 1973), sat at 0-2-1 on the year but would win their first game the next day (17-14 at Kansas City);  The Denver Nuggets were still in the old American Basketball Association (ABA), and were ready to embark on their first season with the new nickname; having previously been called the Rockets the previous seven seasons – the team opened 35-5 en route to a 65-19 record for 1974-75, but lost in the second round of the playoffs to Indiana.  Major League Baseball was 19 years away from Denver; the AAA Denver Bears finished 62-74 (last place in the American Association West Division) and were ending a two-year association with the Houston Astros;  Hockey? Colorado was still two years away from its first NHL franchise—the Colorado Rockies—but the Denver Spurs were still around, finished second in the Northern Division of the Central Hockey League (36-29-13, 85 points);  Remember the Denver Racquets in the World Team Tennis? Pacific Section champions with a 30-14 record, they won the league’s inaugural title in 1974, defeating the Philadelphia Freedoms, 2 matches to 0 (55-48 overall);  And in soccer, the Denver Dynamos finished 5-15 in their first season in the North American Soccer League; the team would compete at Mile High Stadium for one more season before moving to Minnesota (and becoming the Kicks);  1974-75 champions: Oakland (MLB/World Series), Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL/Super Bowl), Golden State Warriors (NBA), Kentucky Colonels (ABA), Philadelphia Flyers (NHL), Houston Aeros (WHA), Los Angeles Aztecs (NASL), Denver Racquets (WTT), Oklahoma & Alabama (NCAA football), UCLA Bruins (NCAA basketball).

CU-AIR FORCE BY THE NUMBERS

Here’s a look at some numbers-related trivia in the Colorado-Air Force series:

No. 6 The highest national ranking for Colorado in a game against AFA (1961; CU won, 29-12 in Boulder); No. 10 The highest national ranking for Air Force in a game against CU (1970; CU won, 49-19 at AFA); 9-1 Colorado’s record against Air Force when scoring 20 or more points; 45 The number of years since CU and Air Force last played in football; 16 Number of games played between Colorado and Air Force in their football histories (CU leads, 12-4); 100 x 3 The number of players with 100 yards rushing in the 1970 game, the second (and last) time that occurred in CU history (Jon Keyworth 124, Paul Arendt 116, Ward Walsh 101); 52 CU Dave: The length of a punt return for a touchdown in the ’73 game by CU’s Dave Logan; 60 AFA Dave: The length of a Dave Lawson (AFA) field goal in the ’74 game, the first 60-yarder in pro or college in the state of Colorado; 84 The number of miles between Boulder, Colorado, and the USAFA campus just north of Colorado Springs; 100 Colorado’s play count against Air Force in the 1970 game (83 rushes, 17 passes), still the fourth-most in school history; 675 Colorado’s total offense against Air Force in the 1970 game (482 rush, 193 pass), still the fourth-most in school history; 708 The combined number of points in the series (or 44.3 per game; Colorado 443, Air Force 265); 1,276 The difference in elevation (feet) between Folsom Field (Boulder, 5,345) and Falcon Stadium (USAFA, 6,621); 16,048 The number of days between the last CU-AFA football game (Oct. 5, 1974) and the next one (Sept. 14, 2019). EYE ON RENEWING THE RIVALRY: CU & AIR FORCE / 2-2-2

THE LAST MEETING: Colorado 28, Air Force 27 (Oct. 5, 1974)

USAFA — Colorado raced to a 21-3 lead and led by 28-10 midway through the third quarter, only to see Air Force rally within one with a little over four minutes remaining but managed to hold off the Falcons in winning, 28-27. AFA’s Dave Lawson, who had made a 60- yard field goal in the first quarter, came up just a bit short on a 50-yard try with just seconds left on the clock.

CU did upend No. 18 Oklahoma State on the road (37-20) in its next to last game of the season ... Seven seniors off that CU team were drafted into the NFL, including DB Rod Perry (fourth round by the Los Angeles Rams), who would go on to enjoy a 10-year pro career (highlighted by 30 interceptions). Sophomore Billy Waddy rushed for 765 yards on the season, giving him 1,316 for his first two seasons, at the time the most by a Buff prior to his junior season, as he played as a true freshman in 1973, just one year after the NCAA allowed freshmen to again play ... David Williams led the team in passing with 899 yards, while Dave Logan was the leading receiver (21 catches for 273 yards) and Ed Shoen the top tackler (77).

Air Force dropped to 1-3 on the season, suffered the third of what would be four straight losses by a touchdown or less on its way to a 2-9 record; the Falcons, coached by the legendary Ben Martin, were an independent that season, and had seven of those losses by a combined 22 points.

GAME NOTES

This was the first and only game in 2018 where CU never held a lead … Cal won the coin toss, ending a run of six straight wins by CU; the Buffs were 8-4 this season (and a crazy 29-9 over the last three years, 1,686-to-1 odds of winning that many times out of 38 tries) … Cal now leads the series 6-4 (4-0 in Berkeley, 3-2 since CU joined the Pac- 12 in 2011) … Kurt Roper was named CU’s interim head coach after Mike MacIntyre was dismissed the previous Sunday; with the loss, interim head coaches at Colorado are now 2-3 … CU’s last turnover gained was a Derrion Rakestraw interception in the fourth quarter at Arizona in week nine; the Buffs were plus-8 after that pick, but ended the year with the opponent forcing 12 turnovers over the last 13 quarters … Colorado allowed a season-low 211 yards (the fewest since UCLA had 210 in Boulder in 2016 (the fewest allowed in a road game since 2005, when Oklahoma State had just 208 in a 34-0 CU win in Stillwater) … Cal going 1-of-17 on third down was the second worst by an opponent in CU history (dating back to 1953); the only worst performance by an opponent was on Oct. 24, 1992, when Kansas State was 0-of-12 in a 54-7 Colorado win … In fact, Cal was a combined 4-of-37 on second and third down combined, but was 3-of-3 on fourth down tries … The Buffs came into the game not allowing a first quarter touchdown for a nation’s best six straight games (tied with Army); that streak ended with Cal scoring 21 points … ILB Rick Gamboa tied the school record for the most games played in a career by a defensive player with his 50th … Shenault and McMillian both surpassed their 1,000-yard plateaus in the third quarter … It was just the second time in his career that QB Steven Montez threw three interceptions (though one came on a break up) … With a 2-7 league record, it marked the sixth time in eight year as a member of the Pac-12 that the Buffs finished in last place in the South Division. 2018 final UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BUFFALO FOOTBALL STATISTICS Won 5, Lost 7 (2-7 Pac-12)
