Colorado Buffaloes running back Jarek Broussard rushed for 187 yards and three touchdowns in CU’s 48-42 win over UCLA on Saturday night.
The outstanding performance was the most rushing yards ever by a Buff in a collegiate debut, earning Broussard a Pac-12 offensive Player of the week honor. He’s now the 19th player (since 1956) to gain 100+ yards in a first start at tailback, gaining the third-most in the process.
Broussard showed off his strength after missed the entire 2019 season due to a knee injury. He has as much burst and agility as he ever had, a terrific sign for his future production at the position.
