I don't know how many here read the smartfootball blog, but it's usually a good read. He makes reference to the early 1990s CU running plays in this analysis of the Colts offense.
"And Manning’s menu of plays are both simple and have been constant for a decade. For runs, he basically has three choices: outside zone (the most common), inside zone, and draw (there are a few others mixed in as well). Believe it or not, the run game comes basically verbatim from what the University of Colorado did in the early 1990s (except for the option runs, of course) — football is not as complicated as people think."
