BOULDER — Just a couple of weeks ago, Colorado running backs coach said of sophomore Alex Fontenot, "He has home-run ability. If he can stick his foot in the ground, he's gone."
Fontenot has shown that knack this spring, including a long touchdown run in Wednesday's full-speed team drills. Fontenot went to his left, turned the corner, avoided one tackle, then went the distance, showing the game-breaking speed his coaches hope to see more of.
"Once I see the hole, I hit it and I have a chance to be gone," Fontenot said.
