Mitch Cozad got one last headline, but it wasn't the kind he ever sought.The former backup punter at Northern Colorado, the one who stabbed the starter in an attempt to take his job, has been sentenced to seven years in the slammer.
No big surprises here, though the judge could have given Cozad up to 16 years for the assault.
Afterward, Cozad's tearful fiance said, "I love him, and I'll always support him."
Not likely, unless by "support" she means coming to cheer him on at the prison yard football games. Seven years -- or even three to four, if Mitchell is on his best behavior -- is an awfully long time, and I'm guessing their letter-writing stops after two or three months.
