Colorado coach benches son
Colorado coach Dan Hawkins removed quarterback Tyler Hansen's redshirt with about a minute left in the first quarter Saturday night against Kansas State. With Hansen at the helm, the Buffaloes (4-3, 1-2 Big 12) ended a three-game losing streak by topping the Wildcats (4-3, 1-2) 14-13 before 52,099 at Folsom Field. About a minute into his debut, Hansen removed the Colorado offensive logjam, turning three quarterback keepers into 49 yards and leading the Buffaloes to a go-ahead score on Rodney Stewart's 4-yard run with 12:25 left in the second quarter. One series later, he connected with Scotty McKnight on a 21-yard touchdown pass. Hansen finished the night with 98 yards on 19 carries. He completed 7-of-14 passes for 71 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Sophomore starter Cody Hawkins was pulled after the second series. He returned for one play in the middle of Hansen's first drive and appeared during scattered series in the second half, including Colorado's final possession. "You have to do what you have to do," Dan Hawkins said of the move. He had planned to give Hansen 10-15 snaps. Instead it was closer to 40.

"Buffalos..."? When you've got more than one of those big furry things, it's "Buffaloes." Is Dan Quayle writing for FN now?

Finally, their eyes are "wide open", thanks for removing the scales off them for them.

You have to feel for Hawkins in that situation...it's why a guy who is HC should always recommend his son to go and play elsewhere, like Mark Richt did to his son.

I agree...but I dont think Cody Hawkins would have started at any other big school. Tell him to transfer to Colorado Technical Institute!

Not any weirder than Bill McCartney finding out that Darrien Hagen knocked up his daughter during CU's glory days of the early 90's. Now THAT can strain a coach/QB relationship...
