  The last thing Brenden Rice wanted was to get taken down by a punter. "I made a cut downfield heading towards the kicker, and hopefully I could slip him because I know if I get tackled by the kicker, my teammates are gonna talk crap to me all the time," Colorado's freshman receiver said. Fortunately, he didn't, making a move on Utah punter Ben Lennon and turning on the jets to finish an 81-yard punt return for touchdown in CU's 38-21 loss to the Utes on Saturday at Folsom Field. Between the loss, an injury to star linebacker Nate Landman and other miscues, the Buffs didn't have much to celebrate on Saturday. Rice, however, provided a spark. Colorado's Brenden Rice runs down the sideline on his way to a touchdown off a punt return during Saturday's game at Folsom Field.

In addition to his punt return touchdown - tied for the 12th-longest in CU history - Rice caught a screen pass on the first play of the third quarter and went 61 yards for a touchdown. He's the first CU player to score on a punt return and reception in the same game since Walter Stanley on Sept. 12, 1981. Ironically, Stanley's son, Dimitri, had key blocks on both of Rice's touchdowns. "It's good to see a young player like Brenden Rice make some of the plays he made today," head coach Karl Dorrell said. "He's a good young player. He's a player that we feel he's got a lot of upside and he's trending up and he's getting better week after week. We're happy he's getting kind of acclimated into the college level of play, and he'll continue to get better." - Daily Camera
