1982 Colorado Buffaloes football team


The 1982 Colorado Buffaloes football team represented the University of Colorado at Boulder in the 1982 NCAA Division I-A football season. It was the first season for Bill McCartney as head coach, and the second year of blue jerseys for the Buffaloes, which were phased out in 1984.
After three seasons in Boulder, head coach Chuck Fairbanks resigned in early June 1982 to become the head coach, president, and minority owner of the New Jersey Generals of the new United States Football League. McCartney, the defensive coordinator at Michigan under Bo Schembechler, was announced as Colorado's new head coach on June 9, and led the program for thirteen seasons, through 1994.
