Liufau to Undergo Surgery on Lisfranc

Saturday, Nov. 13

ESPN's Brett McMurphy reported Liufau's season is over. 

Liufau left in the first quarter and later returned to the sideline on crutches, as RalphieReport showed:

He suffered the injury when USC defensive tackle Kenny Bigelow Jr. sacked him on the final play of the first quarter. To that point, Liufau was 6-of-8 for 94 yards.

Liufau's Injury Impact on Colorado's Offense

The junior entered Week 11 averaging 232.4 yards per game, good for sixth in the Pac-12, with nine passing touchdowns and five rushing scores. His career 63.3 completion percentage is the best in school history. 

Backup Cade Apsay, a redshirt freshman, took over in remarkable fashion, per Raul Martinez of Fox 31 Denver:

The Buffaloes have high hopes for the redshirt freshman out of California, whom 247Sports ranked as the third-best pro-style quarterback in the 2014 class.

Apsay is part of the team's long-term plans at the position and showed Friday that he can carry the load in Liufau's absence.
