Colorado Buffaloes’ Travis Hunter Labeled as ‘Greatest Show’ in CFB

Travis Hunter’s heroics during a narrow win by the Colorado Buffaloes over the Baylor Bears generated a lot of buzz, including NBA icon Dwyane Wade endorsing him to win the Heisman trophy recently. It also led to labels of being the greatest show right now in college football.

In a thrilling matchup, Colorado defeated Baylor with a score of 38-31 in overtime, thanks to a spectacular Hail Mary from quarterback Shedeur Sanders to LaJohntay Wester that tied the game as time expired. With the Buffaloes trailing 31-24, Sanders rolled to his left and launched a 43-yard pass that Wester caught in the end zone, igniting a wave of excitement among the home crowd at Folsom Field.

In overtime, Micah Welch’s short touchdown run gave Colorado the lead, but the game hinged on a dramatic defensive play by Hunter. As Baylor advanced to the two-yard line, Hunter forced a critical fumble, sealing the victory for the Buffaloes after a tense review confirmed the play.

The win marked a significant moment in Colorado’s return to the Big 12, evoking memories of past iconic plays in the program’s history. Coach Deion Sanders praised his team’s resilience, emphasizing their never-give-up attitude. Sanders himself threw for 341 yards and two touchdowns while also running for a score, showcasing his versatility despite being sacked eight times.

Colorado Buffaloes Wide Receiver Travis Hunter Named as Greatest Show in College Football

Hunter’s performance prompted analysts to heap praises on him after helping the Buffaloes get a win over Baylor. According to Bleacher Report’s Adam Kramer, though, the wide receiver is seen as the greatest show in college football right now.

“At the moment, coming off perhaps the most exciting win of a college football season still stretching out its legs, Hunter is one of the stars of the show. He is healthy, capable and everywhere.

He is the Shohei Ohtani of football—not just college football but all of football. He is worth the price of admission and your undivided attention, regardless of your thoughts on a football team still trying to figure out exactly what it will become in 2024.

There is no need to question what Hunter is at this point. He is a true unicorn, the kind of player we can celebrate and marvel at each and every week.

He is, quite simply, the greatest show in all of football at any level. And after he ended a wild football game early, one can’t help but wonder what he might have in store next,” Kramer wrote.

Baylor had its moments, including a 100-yard kickoff return by Jamaal Bell and a crucial fourth-down conversion by Sawyer Robertson. However, the Bears fell short, with head coach Dave Aranda expressing the team’s disappointment in a heart-wrenching loss.

This victory not only boosts Colorado’s record to 3-1 but also highlights the dynamic performances of Sanders and Hunter, both of whom are now under serious consideration for individual accolades as the season progresses.
