Freshman Hankerson Boosts Buffs' Running Game
BOULDER — When the season began, the Colorado Buffaloes believed they would have a veteran one-two punch in their backfield.
But now, as the Buffs head into their sixth game of the season — and first under interim head coach Mike Sanford — that running backs room has taken on a decidedly different look.
Different, however, doesn't necessarily mean less productive. In fact, the Buffs are showing signs of finding their running game groove, thanks to the veteran presence of Deion Smith, the continued production of redshirt freshman Charlie Offerdahl and a recent injection of juice from true freshman Anthony Hankerson.
