Colorado-Arizona State Notes

October 13, 2013 | Football

QUICKLY Colorado donned black helmets for just the sixth time in its history, and are 1-5 in the head gear (this was the third road game; the other two were losses at UCLA in 2011 and at Arizona last year) ... The game time was exactly 3:00 (only 26 in CU's last 284 have been played un under three hours) ... CU lost its 11th straight Pac-12 game tonight (school record for most consecutive losses in conference play; old mark was eight twice) ... CU snapped an 0-for-19 streak on third downs in the first quarter tonight (last try at Oregon State; 0-of-15 vs. Oregon last week; 0-of-3 to open tonight) ... Colorado was 5-of-5 on third down in the second half ... TB Christian Powell's 8-yard run for a touchdown in the fourth quarter was CU's first rushing touchdown this season ...

Colorado's opponent next week, Charleston Southern, won on the road at VMI Saturday, 25-17, and will come to Boulder with a 7-0 record (5-0 on the road).

WR PAUL RICHARDSON (4-39-0 TD) Arizona held him to a season low in both receptions and yards; for the year, "P-Rich" now has 35 catches for 660 yards, 18.9 per, with five touchdowns. That is still over halfway to CU's season record of 1,149, set by Charles E. Johnson on 57 receptions in 1992, and the Buffs are one game shy of their season midway point.

QB SEFO LIUFAU (26-18-2, 169, 1 TD; 128.8 RATING)He became the ninth true freshman to play for the Buffs this season when he appeared in the first quarter.
-The last true freshman to appear in a game at quarterback for CU was Tyler Hansen, who made his debut in a 14-13 win against Kansas State in Boulder on Oct. 18, 2008; he completed 7-of-14 passes for 71 yards (1 TD/1 INT). He made his starting debut the following week at Missouri.

ILB ADDISON GILLAM (3,1-4 TT, 1 TFL) The four tackles nofficially gives him 55 for the season;  just the 12th freshman in school history to record 50 or more tackles, he is now tied for the eighth-most tackles by a freshman in school history (pending coaches video review Sunday. A closer look at the dozen who have reached 50 or more (*-denotes redshirt frosh):
