HOLLYWOOD, Calif.— During a recent player-led practice in Boulder, the Colorado offense was running through a play when an offensive lineman stepped directly on the left foot of quarterback Sefo Liufau.
“It went well, so I can’t complain,” Liufau said with a smile.
That’s a relief to the Buffaloes, because that foot carries much of the hope CU has for snapping a 10-year run of losing seasons.
Liufau suffered a Lisfranc injury to his left foot Nov. 13, ending his junior season early and knocking him out of spring practices. He has spent months rehabilitating the injury, and with fall camp around the corner, he is feeling good and eager to get his senior year underway.
