The race for the starting Colorado quarterback job was to be a hotly contested affair between Texas transfer Connor Wood and Nick Hirschman, until Hirschman broke a bone in his foot, sidelining him for the rest of the spring.
While there is still fall camp for Hirschman to state his case, the fact that Wood will get the majority of the first-team snaps bodes well for his chance to start. Whoever gets the nod will have a talented running back in Tony Jones to hand the ball off to and field-stretcher Paul Richardson out wide.
