LINCOLN, Neb. — Colorado's offensive line has five new starters, 11 newcomers and a new position coach — and nothing has changed when it comes to the blocking up front. That much was apparent in the Buffaloes' 28-10 loss at Nebraska on Saturday night. The Cornhuskers had six sacks and 10 quarterback hurries and allowed just 16 yards rushing. Coach Deion Sanders said it's critical to find a way to protect Shedeur Sanders. He was sacked once on each of the Buffs' first four possessions. Colorado running back Charlie Offerdahl also got stuffed twice for a loss on fourth-and-1s.
