Anderson Bows Out With His Greatest Performance

Buffs Prove 'Unbearable' To Tide, 47-33

Bobby Anderson set 18 original single-game, single-season and career marks during his three-season career with the Buffaloes along with earning All-Big Eight and All-American Honors.

A professional player with Denver (the team's No. 1 draft choice), Washington and New England, Anderson started his CU career as a quarterback but switched to tailback for the third game of his senior season (1969). In his career, he rushed for 2,729 yards and had over 5,000 yards in total offense.

Anderson concluded his Colorado career with a 254-yard rushing effort in the 1969 Liberty Bowl as the Buffs beat Alabama 47-33. He currently resides in LaQuinta, Calif., where he owns a tax preparation business, and has worked over two decades for KOA-Radio handling pre- and post-game shows as well as sideline reporting on the CU Football Network. He is a member of CU's "All-Century Team." In 1999, he received the prestigious University Medal, awarded to those who have performed outstanding service to or for the University.
