Travis Hunter shines as Colorado takes care of business against Colorado State

 The Colorado Buffaloes reconfigured their offensive line, held steady on defense and got another brilliant performance from two-way star Travis Hunter.

Then they celebrated the results – a 28-9 win against rival Colorado State in front of announced crowd of 40,099 at Canvas Stadium.

Hunter did it all, finishing with 13 catches for 100 yards with two touchdowns, along with an interception and five tackles on defense. After giving up six sacks last week in a loss at Nebraska, the offensive line surrendered only one sack Saturday against the Rams.

By the time the night was over, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders had completed 36-of-49 passes for 310 yards with four touchdowns.

The overall performance serves as a bit of a relief for the Buffs. After last week’s 28-10 loss at rival Nebraska, a loss against Colorado State would have raised serious questions about the team’s progress in Deion Sanders’ second year as Colorado’s coach.

But look at what happened instead: The Buffs (2-1) took a 14-3 lead at halftime and got the kind of performance they needed on the road.
