CU got a lone win against California, and wasn&#8217;t close in 10 of its 11 losses.<\/p>\n<p>Woods, a junior safety, understands the outside expectations might not be much different this time around for this matchup. Internally, however, Woods believes the Buffs will enter the fray with a much different level of confidence than the group that took the field last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere&#8217;s definitely a lot more confidence coming into this year,\u201d Woods said. \u201cObviously, there&#8217;s still a lot of question about this year, but yeah, I&#8217;m around it. That&#8217;s more for the media and people outside of the building that have the question. But coming in this year, I feel a lot more confident and I feel we&#8217;re capable of what we need to do this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not exactly a homecoming for Woods \u2014 his hometown of Katy is nearly four hours from Fort Worth \u2014 but the matchup does represent Woods\u2019 first opportunity to play a game in his home state. If Woods returns next season, more Texas games could be on the horizon given CU\u2019s pending move to the Big 12, but he\u2019s ready to embrace the opportunity \u2014 even if the first game of the Coach Prime era have made tickets difficult to land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s awesome. I mean, it&#8217;s still another four hours north of where I am, but, uh, I got a lot of people coming,\u201d Woods said. \u201cI wasn&#8217;t able to get too many tickets. Everyone&#8217;s from the south on the team now. So everyone&#8217;s looking for tickets, but my family was all good with that, friends, too. So it&#8217;ll be fun. I can&#8217;t wait for the Big 12 too. Not only do I get to see more stadiums and stuff, but just playing more games in Texas, I got friends at all those schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Woods said this week that much of the defensive preparation has included watching video of last year\u2019s offense at Arkansas. Kendal Briles, the Razorbacks\u2019 offensive coordinator last year, has taken over the same role at TCU after former TCU offensive coordinator Garrett Riley was wooed away by Clemson. Yet after nine months of hype and preparation since Sanders was hired Dec. 3, finally getting back on the field is a thrill Woods has been looking forward to for some time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ve watched a little bit of it,\u201d Woods said of last year\u2019s loss against TCU. \u201cWe&#8217;ve watched a lot more of, like, Arkansas stuff and what the new offensive coordinator did.\u00a0 Because, for us, at least, it&#8217;s a big change. I\u2019m pretty sure the offense is watching a lot of TCU defense from that game. I&#8217;m not in those meetings as much, so I don&#8217;t have to watch that as much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis upcoming is my favorite part, actually playing the game. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re all doing this. So I&#8217;m excited. There&#8217;s nothing better than a game day. And personally, I love away games. It&#8217;s cool for me to just see stadiums just in general, because I grew up watching a lot of football, so I want to see all those atmospheres. And then I don&#8217;t know, I just like being the away team. Hearing the other fans is kind of cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2023\/08\/30\/football-in-home-state-adds-to-thrill-of-2023-opener-for-cu-buffs-trevor-woods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Trevor Woods is one of the few recognizable names on the Colorado football roster left over from last year\u2019s disaster of a team.
