During my time at CU it was definitely Chido. It’s very rare that I focus solely on one player on the field during the game, but I definitely did with Awuzie. He was just such a smart and tenacious player that it was amazing watching him go to work.

some great names in this thread:
just riffing....
my first fave Buff was Tony Reed
Mark Hatcher (Mac's first option QB)
Donnie Boyce (shout out to the Vandiver/Jay Humphries post)
I used to like to check Lamont Warren's Sunday Colt stats because he had to go the NFL to get snaps at RB. he had a 1,000 yard season at the highest level.
JJ Billingsley
Dan Graham (everybody in the stadium knows where the ball is going on 3rd and long, doesn't matter....move the chains).
Bobby Purify
Kanavis
Ron Monteilh against K State!

This is my favorite all time Buff. Used to watch him practice when we lived in married student housing while my dad was in law school. He signed a practice ball and tossed it over the fence to me in 1971. Became a Raiders fan because of him.
Hahaha, similar situation happened to me, but with Brandon Drumm and she dated him before and after (and probably while we were going out.)
I mean, sure, I got to share a locker room with a majority of the guys mentioned in this thread (even Cliff Branch @Alumni spring games and Rodell Guest when he briefly played football). So I ain’t picking just 1.

I think it’s a tie between Bobby Purify and Chris Brown. 62-36… best day as a Buff… ever.

Way too many to choose. I can say that being a poor kid living in Lafayette in the 80’s 90’s, and then attending CU in the early 2000’s, really spoiled me.
I knew Al’s wife’s sister. He is such a rad guy. Also, got to run out of the tunnel on to the field in middle school. Met, Hagen, Bienemy, JJ Flanagan, Coach Mac, etc…. It’s a day I’ll never forget.

My grandparents and his mom were neighbors so I grew up playing catch, basketball, and going bowling with him when I was 10.
I have to list offense and defense. It's way to hard to just name one.
Ben Kelly - Every team was scared to death to punt or kick off to him.
Ted Johnson - He would knock you D--k in the dirt.

Lived in the same dorm as JJ Billingsley, who played (started?) as a true freshman and he'd always humor me when I'd bump into him on campus and offer up some thought on the upcoming opponent... Dude was a good player, wonder if he could have had a better career if he could have stayed healthy.
Dude will always be a legend for taking a piss in a water bottle on the sideline while his teammates held towels around him.
Amateur. 1989 team co-captain OT Billy Coleman would just piss his pants. More obvious on home game gold pants than roadie black pants.

Pissing the pants works for the lineman. Not so much for the speed guys. The chaffing would be a real big problem.
I feel like that happens in a lot of football games

As frustrating as Montez was, I will always appreciate that he saved the two best performances of his career for Nebraska.

Yeah, those were his top 3 for sure. All three of those games are among the best wins of my Buffs fandom. I started following the team in 2005, so that list is depressingly short.
Coming from the Springs Purify has always been my guy on offense. J… J… Billingsley was who I wanted to be on Defense growing up.
I’ll add two more that I haven’t seen mentioned. Always had a soft spot for Mike Moschetti. Dude just played with a lot of heart. The other is Joel Klatt. Not so much for how he played, but because I got to spend a few minutes with him at a Big12 preseason media day, and he was generous with his time and told me some great stories.
