2. Travon McMillian admirably replaces Phillip Lindsay

The biggest question mark for the Buffs this offseason was how would they replace Phillip Lindsay. Lindsay did it all for Colorado on the field and was the leader of the entire locker room off of it.

Travon McMillian is an experienced back, transferring from Virginia Tech. He’s amassed over 2,100 rushing yards in his career and has the talent to dominate the Pac-12. We’ve covered McMillian in-depth on Mile High Maniac and he should help the Buffs transition out of the Lindsay-era.
