BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The University of Colorado Buffaloes have switched leagues, own one of the toughest schedules in the country and have a slew of new schools and stadiums to learn.

New coach Jon Embree, who returned to his alma mater to replace Dan Hawkins, figures the Buffs might just be the ones with the upper hand as they join the Pac-12 and leave the Big 12 behind.

He’s eager for schools such as USC and Arizona to visit Folsum Field in November.

And he said that while his coaching staff needs to learn a lot of new programs, Colorado’s opponents will be facing a mystery in a Buffaloes program that sports new coaches and concepts.

The Buffs play just five of their 13 games at Folsum Field, plus Colorado State in Denver.
