Football by the Numbers - Summer 2011
9 recruits switched their commitment from another school to CU after Jon Embree (Comm’88) became head coach less than two months before national signing day. 7 points were what former Buff kicker Mason Crosby (Comm’06) scored in the Super Bowl for Green Bay in the Packers’ 31-25 triumph over Pittsburgh. He’s the fourth former Buff to score in a Super Bowl, joining Cliff Branch (A&S’71), Cullen Bryant (Rec’74) and Boyd Dowler (PE’61). $500,000 is the annual salary for new CU offensive coordinator and running backs coach Eric Bieniemy (Soc’01), the highest-paid assistant coach in team history.
