Replacing Buffs legendPhillip Lindsaywill be a tough task, but there are multiple players ready for the challenge.

Phillip Lindsay came to Boulder as an unheralded recruit but left a legend after rushing for 3,775 yards and 36 touchdowns in his four-year career. Both of those numbers rank second all-time in Colorado football history.

With Lindsay headed off to the NFL, signed by the local Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent, there is a big hole to fill in the Colorado backfield. Below we will look at the potential options to replace him in the 2018 season.
