BOULDER — When star Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. exited Saturday night's game at Arizona State in the first quarter with an injury, CU wide receivers coach Darrin Chiaverini didn't flinch.
"I walked over to Coach (Mel) Tucker and said, 'We've got plenty of weapons to win this game, Coach,'" Chiaverini said. "He looked at me and said, 'You're right. We do.'"
The Buffs then proceeded to back up Chiaverini's claim. With Tony Brown producing nine catches for 150 yards and three touchdowns, and K.D. Nixon and Dimitri Stanley both adding clutch receptions at critical moments, the Buffs put forth their best overall offensive effort of the season and left Sun Devil Stadium with a dramatic 34-31 win.
