Sanders passed “frustrated” about five exits ago.After McClain’s cameo — three snaps, two tackles — against Oregon late last Saturday afternoon, I asked Prime Tuesday if his young cornerback, with a bunch of bad, fast dudes coming to town this weekend when CU hosts No. 8 USC, had finally turned a corner himself.I mean, did you see the tire tracks Brenden Rice rolled up on the backs of Arizona State’s D la...
