It might not show in the record, thanks to a killer early season schedule. So that's a huge burden lifted. We now can focus on getting better at the systems, and fill in the holes for guys that left. Barnett and his staff don't have a lot of holes to fill, especially in the front seven on defense and all of the skill positions on offense except quarterback. While this could be a better Colorado team, there's no guarantee it will show up in wins and losses.
