In 2016, Colorado started its unlikely road to the Pac-12 South championship by beating Oregon on the road to open conference play, and then smashing Oregon State at home two weeks later.
In that 47-6 blowout of the Beavers junior wideout Shay Fields lived up to his “Big Play Shay” nickname, hauling in seven catches for 169 yards that included three long touchdowns. It was a performance that indicated Fields — who signed a free agent contract with the Redskins last weekend after going undrafted — possessed the capability to get a chance at the next level.
