I still say the more games the young guys can get under their belts the better. Staying in the competition would have given more games to guys like Jordan, Patterson, Sesay, Marshall, Gonzalez, De la Garza, and even Franklin.
Yeah, how about this for a depressing (for us) paragraph:Also not to be lost amongst the positives of the LA excursion was the performance of Colorado's young players on Tuesday. Only four starters from Saturday started again in the Open Cup play-in game, with three players making their first-ever starts with Colorado. The team handled well the pressure of playing with a man down for a vast majority of the game.
