BOULDER — When someone brought up Steven Montez 2016 and that game at Oregon, No. 12 — 2019 Steven Montez — sounded almost embarrassed, the way a grown man talks about a rage tweet he fired off when he was 14.
Reporter: Can you believe you ran for 136 yards in that game?
Montez: “At 248 pounds? No I can’t. Kind of still feels like a dream. It was kind of crazy. It’s like an out-of-body experience. Weird.”
More weird: Montez, then a redshirt freshman, racked up 21 carries the last time the CU Buffs graced Autzen Stadium, a 41-38 Buffaloes victory.
