Sefo Liufau is the starting quarterback but was out last week with an injury. On the season he has completed an excellent 71.1 percent of his passes (54 for 76) for 768 yards and six touchdowns and has not thrown an interception. Last Saturday, freshman Steven Montez filled in for Liufau and played at a high level. His 450 yards passing and five touchdowns were a highlight of its own, but his 165 rushing and one touchdown showcased his overall talent.

Phillip Lindsay is the primary ball carrier, and Kyle Evans lends support. Lindsay has 54 carries for 248 yards and five touchdowns. Evans has shown fewer carries (37) and rushing yards (171) touchdowns (2) but has played an active role in the offense. Both are average producers but get the job done. They split carries against Oregon as they carried the ball 25 times for 133 yards and one touchdown.

Devin Ross is the primary wide receiver for Colorado. On the season, he has 25 receptions for 355 yards and five touchdowns. Ross played a significant role in defeating Oregon on Saturday. His seven receptions for 153 yards and a touchdown help build a 33-17 lead over the Ducks in the third quarter with just under 13 minutes left to play.

Colorado will now take on Oregon State at home and then travel to Southern California and battle USC.

Next: 5. UCLA
