CHRIS MARVE DESERVES HIS FLOWERS! Colorado’s Defensive Turnaround | Morning Wood with Uncle Neely

Colorado’s defense is changing, and it’s time we give defensive coordinator Chris Marve his flowers — whether he wants them or not! On this episode of Morning Wood with Uncle Neely, we’re taking a closer look at the man behind Colorado’s defensive improvement under Coach Prime. From surrendering more than 222 rushing yards per game in 2025 to approximately 130 through the first six games of 2026, the Buffaloes are showing measurable progress. But this story is about more than statistics. We’re breaking down: 🏈 Colorado’s 2025 vs. 2026 defensive numbers 🏈 How the Buffaloes stack up against the Big 12 and Power Four 🏈 Chris Marve’s journey from Vanderbilt to Virginia Tech to Colorado 🏈 Exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Marve coaching and motivating his players 🏈 Coach Prime’s comments following the Utah game 🏈 Why recognizing progress doesn’t mean accepting losses Chris Marve probably doesn’t want the recognition. He’d rather give the credit to his players and fellow coaches. But sometimes you have to give a man his flowers while he can still smell them. The work isn’t finished. But the progress deserves recognition. Drop your thoughts in the comments: How impressed are YOU with Colorado’s defensive improvement under Chris Marve?
