2013 COLORADO FOOTBALL LETTERMEN PICTURE

Colorado has 63 lettermen returning for 2012 (61 from the 2012 team, with an additional two from the 2011 season); they break down into 29 on offense, 30 on defense and four specialists; the Buffs lose 11 lettermen off the 2012 squad (6 offense/4 defense/1 specialist). CU returns 18 starters from last season (9 offense/9 defense), losing 5 (2 offense/3 defense); several positions had multiple personnel shuttle in and out, so there are several other players back with starting experience. The 2012 starters are listed in bold (six or more starts, thus occasionally two players listed at same position if they shared time due to injury or rotated), and (*) denotes letters earned primarily on special teams.
