That could change when the Buffaloes (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12) host Stanford (1-4, 0-3) at Folsom Field on Friday (8:20 p.m., ESPN).“At practice this week, he’s been starting,” Hart said Wednesday. “So he should be getting in this week, as long as he keeps continuing to progress like he has been.”It remains to be seen if Kennedy, who has played just 10 defensive snaps all season, will actually start or not, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if a new face was in the lineup.One of the intriguing stories of CU’s first half has been ...
