Welcome to big-time college football, Laviska Shenault.
There were plenty of takeaways from Colorado's season-opening drubbing of Colorado State, though the Rams are a squad limping out of the gate so profusely it's difficult to dissect the Buffaloes' dominance against a CSU squad that very well may not stop anyone in 2018.
Among the most encouraging signs for the Buffs, though, wasn't necessarily the lofty point total, gaudy statistics, or even a defense that displayed a consistent pass rush largely absent a year ago. What stood out amid an offensive explosion that ended with 45 points and 596 total yards was co-offensive coordinator Darrin Chiaverini, in his debut as CU's primary play-caller, putting his wide array of talented athletes in the best position to succeed throughout the contest.
