BOULDER, Colo. -- Sefo Liufau has Colorado off on the right foot. Thats particularly good, considering the senior quarterbacks left one almost ended his career.Ten months removed from Lisfranc surgery, Liufau is playing better than ever as the Buffaloes start the season 2-0 heading into their game at Michigan on Saturday. Hes more patient. Hes more focused. Hes more determined.There were times last spring, when he wondered if hed taken his last snap for the black and gold. But his foot healed much faster than anticipated and hes back to setting more school marks.To date, he owns or shares 78 Colorado records. Hes also been voted team captain three straight seasons. But the number that truly drives him is this: zero bowl appearances over his career.Ill give up every record I have -- all of them, just to win, Liufau said. All the pieces are here to turn this program around. Were doing that for the most part this year. Its still being written, but we have a great chance to be special and be a special team.Liufau injured his left foot in the first quarter against USC on Nov. 13 with the team driving for a score. He had surgery a week later for an injury that usually involves a separation of ligaments and joints in the foot and requires an arduous rehab.The general timeline was out for around eight months.The Buffaloes appeared to have a contingency plan, just in case Liufau couldnt heal in time. They announced in February that gunslinger Davis Webb would be joining the Buffaloes soon after graduating from Texas Tech.It would give Liufau options -- possibly even take a redshirt season to heal. Only, Webb spurned the Buffaloes and went to Pac-12 rival California.There went that plan.Liufau was thrust into the starting role again. No pressure, though.When all that happened, I was so far ahead of schedule, that I just kept doing the same thing I was doing before (Webb) got there, said Liufau, who went to high school in Tacoma, Washington. Nothing really changed with his decision.Coach Mike MacIntyre has a simple explanation for Liufau appearing more poised than ever: Love of the game.You cherish every moment, MacIntyre said. You cherish coming in every morning and having to get in the cold tub, because you couldnt do it before. You cherish putting on your cleats and your feet are sore because youve been running so much. You enjoy those moments where before you complained about them. Thats what you see.Another explanation: Liufau took it up another level.He worked out with his teammates during the week in the spring and then on weekends headed to Portland, Oregon -- paying his own way -- to hone his technique under the guidance of former Washington State and Canadian Football League QB Alex Brink.Together, they improved little things to get him in a better throwing position.For him, it was really opening his eyes to the little nuances that help you be accurate, that unlock the power in your body outside of your arm, explained Brink, whos regarded as a QB mentor. He figured it out pretty quick.Hes already a talented player. Were just adding that little extra piece to help him take that next jump.The results have been showing up on the field. Hes thrown for 522 yards and three TDs in two games, with a 74.5 percent completion rate. He also earned the Pac-12s player of the week honors after leading Colorado to a 44-7 win over Colorado State.Im definitely happy with the progress Ive made this season, said Liufau, whose uncle, Jack Thompson, played QB at Washington State and was the third overall pick by Cincinnati in the 1979 draft. Its been a great first two weeks.Liufaus lists of records go on and on and include a little bit of everything:- Most yards passing for a career (7,919) and completions (726)- Most passing attempts without a TD pass in a game (57 at UCLA last October)- Most 300-yard games in a career (8) and quickest score to start a contest (11 second at Arizona on Nov. 8, 2014).- Lowest interception percentage career (.026)- Highest pass efficiency rating for a game (157.2, at Cal on Sept. 27, 2014)Hes within reach of seven more school records, including most TD passes (nine away from surpassing Cody Hawkins mark of 60).Im on top of the world right now, Liufau said. Im just thankful to be back.---AP college football site: http://collegefootball.ap.orgPedro Martinez Jersey Large .

Theyve even be cutting down those pesky penalties .The Colts (3-4) did all that despite using five starting lineups in five weeks while using at least two rookies in each game.I think those guys played a great game and I think it showed with our playmakers and the way they performed, left guard Jack Mewhort said after sitting out the Titans game with an injured triceps. It was a great game, but we still have a lot of areas we need to improve on.Mewhort hopes to return Sunday against an opportunistic Kansas City defense .If the recent progression indicates anything, its this: Perhaps Indys offseason investment is starting to pay dividends.With Anthony Castonzo holding down the tackle job for the sixth consecutive season and Mewhort back at guard, general manager Ryan Grigson figured he had a left side foundation on which he could build upon.Grigson drafted Kelly in the first round, hoping to solidify the most unstable position throughout Lucks first four pro seasons. Kelly has not disappointed.His game isnt perfect, hed be the first one to tell you that, coach Chuck Pagano said.Hes making somme mistakes like everyone else but the sirens arent going off at that position, which is a good thing.ddddddddddddIndy is still trying to sort out its right side.While veteran Joe Reitz has started five games at tackle, the Colts (3-4) appear to have found a gem in fifth-round draft pick Joe Haeg, who has played well with two starts at right tackle, one at right guard and one at left guard.Joe Haeg is a perfect example of a guy who comes in, keeps his head down and works and studies, Mewhort said. I think that says a lot about him and his character.The early returns could give Haeg the inside track to becoming the fourth piece in Indys long-term puzzle.Theres no heir apparent yet for the fifth and final piece.Denzelle Good, a second-year player, has had mixed results in his five starts at right guard. Seventh-round draft pick Austin Blythe has one start in place of Good, and its not yet clear how third-round pick LeRaven Clark fits into the plan. Clark has played in three games, but has not started yet.But now that the Colts are putting things together on tape, they need to see something else -- results on paper, too.We watched the film as a group with the running backs as well and we saw some really good things and we saw some things we need to improve on, Castonzo said. As a whole, we felt pretty good about our performance.Game notesMewhort and defensive tackle Henry Anderson (knee) did not practice Thursday after doing limited work Wednesday. Receiver T.Y.
