He stretched on his own early during the portion of practice open to reporters, then went into the Broncos’ weight room building.“It was something from the game and we’ll see how he goes tomorrow,” Payton said. “We’ll see where he’s at.”Denver still has time remaining in the week. Payton said the team treated Thursday’s practice like a Wednesday session and will have a heavier-than-normal Saturday slate due to the short week of preparation. It’s possible, as Payton alluded, he’ll feel good enough Friday t...

But the Buffs coaching staff has struggled with clock management, whether it be at the end of halftime (see: a key TD in the Oregon State loss) or the waning moments of the fourth quarter (see: narrow defeats to Stanford and Arizona). It’s proof there’s a learning curve for Sanders, who’s only in his fourth year as a college coach.Finding a balance: CU’s lack of a run game is killing them.
