Good bull.

Colorado game 1995 - we're ranked 3rd, they're ranked 9th. They've got Ty Detmer at QB, we've got Leeland McElroy, at the time, the Heisman front-runner.
CU was ranked 7th during that game not 9.
And it was Koy Detmer not Ty Detmer. Ty was qb at BYU a few years earlier and took a beating from the wrecking crew in the 1990 Holiday Bowl, the same season he won the Heisman Trophy.
Koy was injured during the game in the '95 game and his backup John Hessler came off the bench to lead CU to the win.
A side note , Koy Detmers son committed earlier this year to play football at BYU.
quote:After Neuheisel they hired Gary Barnett who did OK but had off the field issues (sexual harrasment on the team) that seemed to coincide with their downturn under him. He was let go and they got Dan Hawkins from Boise St (who at Boise setup the team for Chris Peterson). I think it was viewed as a good hire at the time. He started his son at QB, and the results are what you'd expect and CU hadn't recovered since. A piss poor hire of a coach (Embree) who had no business being a head coach was the final nail in the coffin. But, IMO that hire was more of a message that CU just was more interested in academics than what it had to do to get a winning football program going again.
I wondered this a few years ago, but what is going on with Colorado? I know they had some unlucky coaching runs, but do they just not care anymore? They were a power in the 90's.
