BOULDER — The story of how tailback Jarek Broussard wound up at Colorado began with a cabin in the mountains.
It was there, on a church trip in high school, that he was awed by the surrounding scenery. It was then the dynamic playmaker from Dallas plotted a return to a similar sort of setting.
Broussard followed that trail all the way to Boulder, where he had his own mountain to climb in returning from knee injuries. That's what made this all the more rewarding: 187 yards rushing and three scores in his Buffaloes debut as they beat UCLA 48-42 to kick off the season.
