To say Colorado’s offense has struggled the past two weeks would be an understatement. The same unit that averaged 37.8 PPG through their first five wins of the season, put up 20 points against USC - many of which came during garbage time, and just 13 against the 15th ranked Washington Huskies.
Part of their struggles can be attributed to the injury of receiver Laviska Shenault, who missed last week’s game with turf toe. With Shenault out, the receivers recorded just 94 receiving yards and one touchdown. Freshman Daniel Arias and Dimitri Stanley also had their first starts and meaningful snaps at wideout.
