BOULDER – Coming into Saturday only three Colorado Buffaloes receivers had ever grabbed three touchdown receptions in a game.
But on this sublime Saturday in Boulder, another receiver would join the list that Richard Johnson, Rae Carruth and Nelson Spruce were already on.
And he did it in one half.
During the Buffs’ clobbering of the Oregon State Beavers, Shay Fields would not only have three touchdown receptions but he added 169 receiving yards. His monster day earned him some national attention, but more importantly it proved Fields was next in line of the long lineage of Colorado receivers.
