TB Michael Adkins and QB Sefo Liufau made their first collegiate starts today; junior DE Andre Nichols saw his first college action (FG/PAT unit) ...

His 60-yard TD reception was the fifth play of 50 yards or longer this season and the 11th of his career. It was his fourth 100-yard game of the season, giving him seven for his career (records are six and 12, respectively); the latter is fourth all-time at CU.
