BOULDER – In a backup quarterback’s best-case game-day scenario, the guy in front of him pushes his offense to an untouchable lead. The No. 2 QB leaves the sideline, soaks up game experience and exits the stadium feeling very good about his role, if not life in general.
On Sept. 26 at Folsom Field, Cade Apsay savored that kind of afternoon. Although he hadn’t yet moved into the backup spot behind Sefo Liufau – that would happen last month – both Apsay and Jordan Gehrke took snaps in Colorado’s 48-0 rout of Nicholls State.
