For his part, Bohn preached staying the course. "We're trying to re-establish the foundation for our program," he said. "We all recognize we're not there yet. We're not happy with this and our fans aren't happy with it. Again, it's where we are."
Bohn said the stain of Gary Barnett's scandal-plagued tenure lingered longer than the Buffs let on, especially when they were knocking off Oklahoma in Hawkins' second year. He reminded everyone that Colorado legend Bill McCartney, the original Promise Keeper, started 0-4 in his fourth season. Like this one, that season began with a home loss to Colorado State. The Buffs would win their next five games, including an upset of No. 3 Nebraska. Four years after that, Colorado claimed a share of the national title.
The difference is in the scores. After a 23-7 loss to the Rams in 1986, the Buffs lost to Oregon by two, to Ohio State by three and to No. 10 Arizona by 3. They did not get completely outclassed by a MAC team.

It's only going to get worse. Toledo -- a team picked to finish fourth in the MAC west division -- looked faster at almost every position than the Buffaloes. Colorado tailback Darrell Scott, who racked up 289 all-purpose yards despite no discernible role in the offense in the second half, clearly was the best athlete on the field. It seemed the Rockets ranked No. 2 through No. 23. That speaks to Hawkins' recruiting. Nebraska has Big 12-quality players. So do Missouri and Kansas. Judging by their first two games, the Buffaloes would have trouble competing in the Mountain West and the MAC.
