Just recently, wide receiver Travis Hunter was instrumental in helping the Colorado Buffaloes get a narrow win over Baylor. This prompted NBA legend and former Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade to endorse the college star to win the Heisman trophy.
In a thrilling showdown against Baylor, Colorado showcased its resilience with a dramatic 38-31 overtime victory, highlighted by quarterback Shedeur Sanders‘ remarkable 43-yard Hail Mary pass. With time running out and the Buffaloes trailing 31-24, Sanders delivered a miraculous throw to LaJohntay Wester, who made a spectacular catch just before a defender could intervene, tying the game and igniting a frenzy among the home crowd at Folsom Field.
The excitement continued into overtime, where Sanders guided the Buffaloes downfield before handing off to Micah Welch, who scored from one yard out, giving Colorado the lead. However, the game’s defining moment came on the final play, when Hunter made a crucial forced fumble at the goal line, preventing Baylor from equalizing and securing the victory for the Buffaloes.
Hunter’s performance was impressive, contributing both offensively and defensively. He finished the game with seven receptions for 130 yards, along with two tackles and the pivotal forced fumble.
