There is an art to trash talking that Colorado quarterback Steven Montez hopes to master this season.
"Trash talking can get you a lot of places if you do it right," he said.
Replacing four-year starter Sefo Liufau, who is now with the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Montez will bring his own talent, his own style and his own flair to field.
He also hopes to borrow a few tools that made Liufau — CU's all-time leading passer — successful. That includes being a pest to the defense.
"A little thing that I saw with Sefo that I liked to put in my own game, as well, is to antagonize the defense a little bit, because once you get in the defense's head, it's over," Montez said during CU's media day on Tuesday.
