"I have to have better composure," said Dorrell. "One thing I did, I apologized to our team because that's now how we want to do things. I also apologized to the person. It was not a personal attack on him, more a reaction to the game. We can all learn from it, and I've learned from it, and the best thing you can do is to understand it was a mistake, apologize for it and move forward."

CU Athletic Director Rich George apologized for the incident on Twitter the night it happen.
