“I live for moments like this”: CU Buffs Laviska Shenault shows no quit in do-or-die win over Stanford

BOULDER — It hurt every time he made a cut.

But the CU Buffs needed a yard — 1 yard — with the ball on the Stanford 34-yard line, the game tied at 13 and 1:05 left at Folsom Field on Saturday.

Knee injury or not, Laviska Shenault was thinking just one thing: “Give me the ball.”

Quarterback Steven Montez obliged, putting the ball in the junior wideout’s belly on a fly sweep. A couple of busted tackles and 5 yards later, and Shenault was carrying three Stanford tacklers for a critical gain and first down.
