Wood will lead the Buffs against Colorado State

Texas transfer beats out the flashy freshman at quarterback
Connor Wood looked like Colorado’s likely starting quarterback coming out of spring practice. New head coach Mike MacIntyre made it official Wednesday. Wood, a transfer from Texas, will start the Buffaloes’ season opener against Colorado State on Sunday in Denver.

BOULDER – Connor Wood emerged from spring ball as the Colorado Buffaloes’ starting quarterback for the second consecutive season.

Unlike last year, he kept that title in the fall, fending off flashy freshman Sefo Liufau.

The junior who transferred from Texas two years ago will be lining up under center Sunday when the Buffaloes begin their new era against Colorado State – which will name its staring QB on Thursday – in the annual Rocky Mountain Showdown at Sports Authority Field.

Last year’s starter, Jordan Webb, is dealing with a knee injury and an assault charge; Nick Hirschman transferred to Akron; and Shane Dillon gave up the gridiron for the hardwood.
