Co-offensive coordinator Chiaverini admits to “getting emotional” over first game coaching Buffs
From CUBuffs.com … Bold, fast, decisive, and satisfying for Darrin Chiaverini, the former Buffs receiver who admitted to “getting emotional” Friday afternoon on the team’s bus ride from its overnight headquarters to Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
