schedule. Beyond that trip
through the wringer, there’s still
upstart Kansas, Iowa State and,
of course, CU's red menace -
Nebraska - to deal with.
Colorado still exudes confi

the Big 12 Media Days, Graham
rattled off a team philosophy
about the tough schedule.
“We’re not backing off," he
said. “We can win every game

■ Police find 100 pounds of
marijuana in McPherson's car;
starting comerback faces up to
15 years in prison.
MEXICO. Mo. - Missouri
comerback John McPherson
faces felony drug charges after
police said they found about 100
pounds of marijuana in his car.
McPherson, 20, a sopho

face up to 15 years in prison if
convicted.
Coach Larry Smith suspend
ed McPherson from the team
earlier this month. His team
mates were told of the drug
charges following Wednesday’s
practice.
“I was shocked, because
John didn’t carry himself like
that,” senior comerback Julian
Jones said. “I guess he was
around the wrong people at the
wrong time. I feel sorry for him.
He doesn’t have a friend in the
world right now.
Everybody’s looking down
on him. But, you know, people
make mistakes.”
McPherson was arrested last
month in Lafayette County,
about 40 miles East of Kansas
City.
According to a probable
cause affidavit obtained by the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a car
driven by McPherson was pulled
over on July 27 on Interstate 70
for following another car too
closely and not driving within a
single lane.
After receiving permission
from McPherson to search the
car, a patrolman found about
100 pounds of marijuana in the
trunk of the car, inside a shoe
box and two plastic bags, police
said.
Police also reported finding
$4,031 in the car’s center con
sole.
McPherson was arraigned
July 28 and charged with sec
ond-degree drug trafficking, a
Class B felony that carries a sen
tence of five to 15 years in
prison.
McPherson was held until

like that. I guess he was around the wrong peo
ple at the wrong time. I feel sorry for him. He
doesn't have a friend in the world right now. "

Solich, who limited the option

thought they ran very hard and,
at times, ran very smart”
The defense looked impres
sive at times, recording four
sacks. The No. 1 defense was
able to hold the No. 1 offense
scoreless in their two head to
head possessions.
The Blackshirts did give up a
score to the No. 2 offense on a
touchdown pass from Lord to
Ttoy Hassebroek for 51 yards.
NU came out of the scrim
mage with a few bumps and
bruises and only one major
injury. Tim Green, a redshirt

will take a look at the tapes and
see what areas we need to work
on to improve.”
