That's a nice sentiment, but it ignores reality. Colorado's 4.8 yards per play allowed last season shows a defense that needed an immediate overhaul. You can't just develop your way out of a bottom-10 unit. The portal is how you fix glaring holes fast. While you're praising internal competition, we're adding proven Power Four talent to actually win games now. Building a program requires both development and strategic acquisitions. Waiting years for guys to mature while the Big 12 gets stronger is a quick path to irrelevance. Our approach is about urgency, not just patience.
