Buffs RBs Bring Depth, Versatility

BOULDER — Last season's Colorado Buffaloes' rushing attack consisted mainly of a steady dose of Alex Fontenot, an occasional shot of Jaren Mangham and a twist of Laviska Shenault Jr.

It won't be a surprise to see that equation change just a bit this year.

Yes, Fontenot is back. The 6-foot, 205-pound junior, who ran for 874 yards and five touchdowns last season, is a year older, wiser and more in tune with the ways of the Pac-12. Also returning is Mangham, who had 441 yards and three touchdowns last season as a true freshman.
