It's been a long road for Colorado safety Jered Bell.

The sixth-year senior has missed two full seasons with knee injuries, including last year. He's healthy this year, but was beaten out for a starting job and played sparingly on defense in CU's first three games.

When he is healthy, however, Bell is usually pretty good.

During Saturday's 48-0 win against Nicholls, Bell got his most extensive playing time of the season and made the most of it with two interceptions.
