The term "featured back" doesn't exist at Colorado.

At least, it hasn't since Rodney Stewart exhausted his eligibility after the 2011 season.

The Buffaloes (4-4, 1-3 Pac-12) continue to rotate their running backs and have now had four different rushing leaders in eight games this season.

Stewart led CU in rushing every year from 2008-11 and is second on the school's career rushing chart, with 3,598 yards.

In the four seasons since, CU has had seven different running backs lead the team in single-game rushing, with Donovan Lee becoming the latest.
