Cornerback Terrence Wheatley doesn’t mind sneaking a peek at Colorado’s 2-10 record in the first season under Dan Hawkins.
“There are times when I don’t want to look in the rearview mirror at all; I might break it off and not use it. But then there are times when you’ve got to look at it, you’ve got to learn from it,” Wheatley said. “As much as I want to just throw it all away, I want to keep a little piece of it with me just to remember.”
