Colorado grabs another decisive win today against Big 12 foe Utah. Travis Hunter and the Buffaloes managed to tack on 49 points in their victory despite the Utes having the No. 1 defense in the conference. All eyes were on Colorado star Travis Hunter as he continued to build upon his Heisman-like resume. Today Hunter made huge plays on both sides of the ball, and made a bold statement in the process.
The Heisman hopeful, like many games this season, filled the stat sheet with his offensive and defensive presence. As a receiver, Hunter hauled in 5 catches for 55 yards, including an incredible catch over two Utah defenders on 4th and long. He also recorded his 3rd interception of the season today to pair with his dagger of a touchdown in the final 2 minutes of the game.
Travis Hunter’s statement
Travis made a bold statement after finding the end zone and snagging the interception. After both plays, he found the nearest camera and struck the iconic Heisman pose. Striking this pose isn’t something that any player can do; only the most elite players in college football can imitate the trophy’s likeness, and it be unanimously accepted by football fans. Hunter has made it known through his actions today and in prior interviews that he believes he deserves one of college football’s highest honors.
