CU football: Buffs' Powell makes most of his attempts

Christian Powell stood outside the Colorado football locker room enjoying a rare Buffaloes' victory when junior defensive back Ahkello Witherspoon jumped on his back.

"See," Powell said, "everybody's happy. That's a joy of the day."

Powell had arguably the most joyous day in CU's 48-14 rout of UMass on Saturday. Powell ran for 105 yards and two touchdowns to help pace the Buffaloes' dominant running attack.

It was also a joyous day because Powell and his teammates were able to wash away last week's 28-20 loss to Hawaii.

"We need to get that taste out of our mouth and we were able to accomplish that," Powell said.
