A mind‐boggling start to the 2014 season reached astronomicalheights in the win over Hawai’i. Nelson pulled down a then‐school‐record 13 receptions, topped 100 yards receiving for the thirdtime in the season’s first four games and grabbed the longestreception of his career, a 71‐yard bomb down the left sideline fromquarterback Sefo Liufau.

Nelsonmadeavitalreceptionona3rd‐&‐4playwith2:47leftontheclock that, for all intents and purposes, sealed Colorado’s first non‐conference road win in a decade.

NelsonwasnamedtheLasVegasBowlPac‐12PlayeroftheWeekasa result of his performance at UMass. He led the conference inreceivingyardsandwassecondinreceptionsaftertwoweeks.

Spruce put forth another remarkable effort on Saturday when heestablished a then‐career‐high in receving yardage (145) and tied athen‐personal best in receptions (10). He also recorded his secondstraighttwotouchdowngame.

Nelson made two spectacular touchdown receptions in the seasonopener against CSU. It marked his first career two‐touchdown gameandhisthirdwithatleast100yardsreceiving.

Nelson’s sure hands and precise route running have made him CU’smost reliablereceivingweaponon third‐downpassingsituations.Hisnose for the first‐downmarker is a testament tohishigh football IQ.Remarkably, 59% (112 of 189) of his career receptions haveresultedineitherfirstdownsortouchdowns.
