BOULDER, Colo. (AP) Nelson Spruce isn't blazing fast. That's something he's well aware of.

Listed at a generous 6-foot-1, Colorado's senior receiver also isn't a huge target. Again, he knows.

But get the ball anywhere near him - anywhere at all - and he'll find a way to haul it in.

Spruce became the school's all-time receptions leader with 219 in a win over UMass last week. He needs just 122 yards receiving against Colorado State on Saturday to topple that career mark, too.
