Phillip Lindsay ready to become featured back for CU Buffs

Kenneth Olugbode goes to practice every day knowing that at some point, running back Phillip Lindsay is going to look to deliver a big hit to the Colorado defense.

"It's awesome," said Olugbode, a senior linebacker. "He tries to lower his shoulder, but I tell him every day, 'You're not getting one on us today, Phil.'"

Olugbode won't admit to Lindsay ever getting the best of the CU defense, but there's no question that Lindsay's hard-nosed running style has served him well to this point in his career.

"I'm going to try to avoid (contact) as much as I can, but it's football; it's a contact sport, and I'm going to run hard," said Lindsay, who has 1,044 rushing yards in his career.
