It's time for Heisman talk

Every week at CUSportsNation.com, we have an exclusive Q&A with offensive coordinator Darrin Chiaverini. A couple of days before the Nebraska game, I jokingly asked Chiaverini if it was too early to talk Heisman for Laviska Shenault.

"Yeah it's too early. Too early man," he answered.

But after Shenault scored four total touchdowns in a huge win against Arizona State to put the Buffaloes at 5-0, Chiaverini decided it was time to get the Heisman campaign going.

Here is more Shenault for Heisman talk...

Sports Illustrated: No. 5 on their Heisman list

Shenault is a touchdown waiting to happen and he accounted for each of Colorado’s four scores against the Sun Devils, adding two short TDs on the ground to go along with his two receiving ones. The nation’s leading receiver needs to keep up his prolific production and the Buffaloes need to keep piling up wins if he wants to become the first finalist at the position since Oklahoma’s Dede Westbrook in 2016. Every defense knows that Shenault is getting the ball and they still can’t stop him, especially on third down, when he averages more than 30 yards a catch.
