It took Colorado quarterback Sefo Liufau only two plays to set his 76th school record Friday night and only a few more to turn a rivalry game with Colorado State into an extended victory celebration for CU fans unaccustomed to such a stress-free evening.
Showing no effects of the Lisfranc foot injury that ended his junior season in the 11th game last year, Liufau broke the record for career passing yards on his second completion of the game on CU’s first possession, passing Cody Hawkins with an 11-yard swing pass to running back Phillip Lindsay.
By the end of the quarter, the Buffs were firmly in command, leading the outmanned Rams 21-0.
