The accolades are coming in for a 1-6 team.
The College Football News, in particular columnist Richard Cirminiello, first sings praises of CU's Ron Collins, as defensive coordinator of the week.
"In a bad season for the Buffs, Collins has done a real nice job with the defense all year —none better than on Saturday, when the D had five takeaways and held Texas Tech to just six points and 292 total yards in the program’s first win of 2006."
Next up for a little love was the head coach.
"Congratulations to Dan Hawkins for getting his first win in Boulder, a 30-6 throttling of Texas Tech. Long-term, Hawk will be just fine once he gets his kind of players at Colorado. Year two often makes a huge difference for many coaches. Just look at how much better Bronco Mendenhall (BYU), Skip Holtz (East Carolina), Urban Meyer (Florida), Terry Hoeppner (Indiana), Hal Mumme (New Mexico State), Dick Tomey (San Jose State), Tyrone Willingham (Washington), Dave Wannstedt (Pittsburgh) and Greg Robinson (Syracuse) are doing with a season under their belts."
Black & Gold Breakdown: This just shows that people outside of Colorado are watching, noticing and appreciating the challenge and work Hawkins and his staff are doing. They know it takes time and talent and that the day is coming for better results.
