Trivia time: What was Karl Dorrell's first game as a college head coach?

Answer: U.C.L.A. vs CU, at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado. The more things change...

I was there and briefly met Karl's parents. Lovely people. The Buffs won 16-14. A crappy late PI call (oh, how I have NOT missed you SPTRs) kept a CU drive alive for the winning field goal.

Guess I won't be attending this one, though. Only a limited number of player families are allowed in. FU covid.

Trivia time on top of trivia time: The Bruins lost that game partly because Karl Dorrell "forgot" to put in the game which star running back?

Oh yeah. That was that game. I'd forgotten that part. Good question...Was that Manny White?

Trivia time on top of trivia time on top of trivia time...and this is sort of tangential and obscure: Anyone know who CU's QB was that season?

Correct!! Klatt did some morning sports talk radio here for a while and has become one of the best college football color analysts on TV. He is currently paired with the incomparable Gus Johnson for Fox Sports.

I don't know how much more interest we can drag out of that totally meh game lol

I was at that game as well. Brought a bunch of UF friends from Orlando and met a fellow Bruin. Great trip; terrible game. Olsen got hurt and Matt Moore was the QB for most of the game. I have a great pic somewhere of Marcedes Lewis walking out of the tunnel for that game.
