CU sack slump not easy to end

Compared to the past couple of quarterbacks the Colorado Buffaloes have faced, Texas Tech's Graham Harrell is a sitting duck. Unfortunately for the Buffs, that's no guarantee they'll break out of their recent sack slump this week.

That good old-fashioned gang tackling that Ruffin McNeill asked for and received from his Texas Tech defense there for about three weeks? Well, the team's interim defensive coordinator is asking for it again.

Leach clearly not a fan of the punt - Failed fourth-down conversions putting defense in a bind
