Nice work. You did a good job of capturing the major events that led to their rise in the second half of the 80s. In addition to changing the offense to the wishbone, McCartney also brought back the black jerseys. Prior to that they looked like a cheap imitation of UCLA. The black jerseys gave them an identity to go along with their more powerful style of play. Going from 1-10 in 1984 to 11-0 in 1989 is one of the best turnarounds in college football history.

The 1994 Colorado Buffaloes were my favorite CU team to watch growing up as a kid. They were absolutely incredible finishing 11-1-0 and winning the Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame. This team was an offensive machine and absolutely demolished elite defenses with Heisman Trophy winning running back Rashaan Salaam, quarterback Kordell Stewart, wide receivers Michael Westbrook and Rae Carruth and tight end Christian Fauria.

I recall McCartney had great success recruiting in California, sometimes over 20% of roster from there. idk if CU needs a similar formula in today's recruiting, but that worked. I would guess recruiting is much more national these days. On a simplistic level, it was interesting how Buffaloes replaced Sooners as top 2 Big 8 power with Huskers. CU's rise began in earnest in 1986, while OU's decline started in 1988. By 1989, Colorado was a national power while OU was on a dramatic decline. I was at 1989 game in Norman when CU beat OU for first time since 1976, and it felt like a changing of the guard.

Good video. I only want to point out that the wish bone was an old offense that most teams were going away from when Colorado started running it as more quarterbacks were able to throw and better athletic receivers were becoming more prevalent. Most teams that ran it had over the top backs and a stable full of them. Like Auburn and Georgia with William Andrews, James Brooks, Joe Cribbs and UGAs Hershel Walker. We used to say 3 and half yards and a cloud of dust. Auburn even had their own variant called the flex-bone. Beside the point, but the Buffalo is one of the top 3 mascots in the NCAA. I love seeing them holding on for dear life while he runs around the field before games.

You did a good job with this considering that it sounds like most of this happened before you were alive, or at least following sports, but there's definitely a few inaccuracies: The coaches names are Bill McCartney (Mc-cart-nee) not McCarthy, and Gary Barnett (not Garnett) and Dan Hawkins (not Brian Hawkins). Someone else noted the Miracle in Michigan - that would be a good one to include. It's also worth noting that CU was something like .05 BCS points away from playing for the National Championship in 2001. That was the last time that the team was truly top 5 good. The recruiting scandal of the early 2000's did have a MASSIVE impact in driving the trajectory of the program downward, but that was compounded by a series of disastrous hires after Barnett was fired. Dan Hawkins was brought over from Boise St, at a moment when no one knew that the real genius behind Boise State's rise to being a powerhouse was his Offensive Coordinator, Chris Petersen. Hawkins proved himself to be a fraud, so when Hawkins was fired they tried to get back to a more old school style so they hired a former CU player in Jon Embree. He only lasted 2 really, really bad seasons. Then they brought in Mike Macintyre, who kind of stabilized things and brought CU their only decent season of the past 20 years, but he surrounded that with 4 other seasons that were decidedly not decent at all. Then Colorado FINALLY got in a good coach in Mel Tucker only to have him get stolen away after only one season (a season with a losing record, no less) by Michigan State. Then they replaced him with Karl Dorrell who without question was the worst hire of the bunch. Nobody understood why that hire was made, though Tucker put Colorado in a really bad spot by leaving the program literally within days after National Signing Day in the spring. When you're not an Alabama or Ohio State kind of program, you can miss on one coach, or maybe 2 in a row, but if you miss on 3 you're in a really bad spot. And if you miss on 5 in a row then honestly I don't know if any coach other than Prime could bring you back! Good to see this program have a pulse again, though.

Georgia Tech played a far weaker schedule. You can also go watch the 5th down game, Colorado players slipping and falling all game due to the turf and not having the right shoes for the turf. In fact the play right before the 5 down set the TE caught a pass and was turning upfield to go into the endzone untouched but, slipped and fell... 5th down was Karma if anything. Big 8 made Mizzou change out the turf a few years later when other teams had the same issue.

Colorado has a very strong history. They have been mismanaged for 20 years though. Colorado being legit again won't surprise anyone over 30.

Great Product, good music! 9-10 wins for Coach Sanders, his biggest humps will be USC, Washington, TCU, and Oregon State. Question also remains, can #2 stay healthy and who is his back up? The defense may be interesting this year, can they recruit some dawgs on that D-Line?

College football was a lot better when more than the same 3 teams had a chance to win the national championship every year. Tired of seeing Alabama, Clemson or Georgia in the championship game every year.

That 1990 national championship was a joke. How are you the best team in the country with a loss, a tie, a 5th down against a 4-7 team to avoid another loss, then have a phantom clipping penalty to avoid ANOTHER loss in your bowl game? Colorado had 7 games decided by 1 score, and 2 decided by blown referee calls. They should have been 8-3-1 or worse, not crowned Champs because of their "tough schedule".

While I wasn't following college football yet in 1990, I did a "deep dive" into college football history starting in the late 1990s and thought it was ridiculous that Colorado finished #1 in anyone's poll considering the loss to 8-4 Illinois, the tie and what was, in fact, a loss to a Missouri team with a losing record.

Was that phantom clipping penalty committed when the Rocket ran that punt back that would have gave ND the lead? That would have given the Irish the national title if I am not mistaken. I can't remember seeing that penalty. but it has to be there on film somewhere. I watched the game, and all I remember is seeing yellow canaries flying around the field. lol! There were a few powerhouse teams out west back then. BYU, Nebraska, and of course Colorado. I guess someone did not want another title to be won from that team in South Bend.

@@tomodonovan5931 Notre Dame had 2 losses and was ranked 5th coming into that game, so their chances of winning the title would have been VERY small even if that TD had counted (which it should have) and given them the win. If Nebraska had somehow beaten #2 Georgia Tech, which was the only undefeated team that year (though they did have a tie, as that was a few years before overtime was introduced), then the Irish would have had an outside chance at finishing #1, but Georgia Tech beat Nebraska in a blowout.
