39.

Continuing to break down the Big 12 team by team, we now travel to get our rocky mountain high on. 

Colorado Buffaloes

2007 Season: 6-7, 4-4 conf

2008 Season: 6-6, 4-4 conf

Highlights: The Buff's return 15 of 22 starters from their 6-7 team last year.  TE convert Patrick Devenny could deliver some positive results.  Expect Colorado to improve on their 72nd total offense ranking.  The young O line should be much improved and much deeper.  Not much room for improvement on their 17th ranking in sacks allowed.

Lowlights:  Defense. They were 100th in tackles for loss last year, 95th in sacks and 103rd in pass defense. 

Keys to Success: Colorado will have a breakout season if they can shore up the cornerback position, get some schemes that will give them penetration on the D line and improve on their 83rd in the nation turnover margin.
