Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter showed why they may just be college football's best duo, connecting for three touchdowns in Colorado's win on Thursday.
Year 2 of the Coach Prime era in Boulder is off to a solid start. Colorado, playing in its first game as a member of the Big 12 conference, took down North Dakota State on Thursday, 31-26. Colorado had just two drives in the first quarter, totaling less than three-and-a-half minutes, but that’s because they both ended in long scores. Travis Hunter scampered his way 41 yards into the end zone, and Sheduer Sanders found Jimmy Horn Jr. for a 70-yard touchdown.
Another long Hunter reception got the Buffs inside the 10-yard line to begin the third quarter, but a lucky bounce off a Bison defender’s leg resulted in an interception, killing the drive. But, after forcing a three-and-out, Sanders and Hunter connected again to take a 24-20 lead. The Buffaloes' defense stepped up in the third, as the Bison were forced to punt on both of their drives in the quarter.
