BOULDER – Rest assured, Sefo Liufau and the Colorado Buffaloes aren’t drifting toward an offense that features a run-first quarterback. But if it takes leg work to make the offense work, well, Liufau is all in.
Entering his junior year not having scored a rushing touchdown, the midway point of the season finds him having reached the end zone five times – only two fewer than Bernard Jackson’s running total in 2007.
No other Buffs QB has scored that many since, but with five regular-season games remaining Liufau seems a sure bet to get at least two more rushing TDs and surpass Jackson, who was generally considered a more efficient runner than passer.
