CU's Steven Montez has three rushing TDs this year, already matching last year's total.
BOULDER — In four games this season, Colorado quarterback Steven Montez has three rushing touchdowns, matching the number he produced on the ground in all of 2017.
It is not an anomaly. While remaining judicious with their use of Montez as a rushing threat, the Buffs are incorporating his talents into the ground game at key moments, adding one more weapon to their Folsom Fast attack.
It is difficult to argue with the results. While Montez's numbers — 29 carries for 108 rushing yards — are by no means impressive, those numbers change significantly when sacks are taken out of the equation (unlike the NFL, which subtracts sack yardage from passing totals, the NCAA subtracts sack yardage from rushing totals).
