We’ve witnessed a resurgence of Colorado’s offense this year as Shedeur Sanders and a host of weapons have turned one of the worst offenses in school history into a force to be reckoned with.
When looking at the Buffs’ recent history, nothing describes a “force” quite like the play of Laviska Shenault Jr. Shenault was a unicorn of an offensive weapon as he could play all over the field. The big wide receiver lined up outside, in the slot or as an H-back. He was also unique in how he could run the wildcat to pick up short yardage. On Oct. 6, 2018, the Arizona State Sun Devils saw all of that from Shenault.
That day, the Buffaloes beat the Sun Devils, 28-21, with Shenault accounting for all four of CU’s touchdowns. Shenault caught 13 passes for 127 yards and two touchdowns through the air while adding five rushing attempts for 13 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Shenault also helped put the nail in ASU’s coffin with two straight catches on third downs that moved the chains when CU was trying to bleed the clock.
