Hunter's big game bolsters Heisman hopes as No. 23 Colorado rolls to 52-0 win over Oklahoma State
Travis Hunter strengthened his Heisman hopes with three touchdown catches and an interception as No. 23 Colorado routed Oklahoma State 52-0 to keep its outside Big 12 title game hopes afloat
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The final play on Travis Hunter’s Heisman highlight reel was a falling touchdown catch with a defender draped all over him.
If that, along with his other two touchdowns and an interception, wasn't enough to wrap up college football's biggest prize, then his coach has no idea what else the two-way standout can do.
“Travis clinched the Heisman today with his performance,” Deion Sanders said after No. 23 Colorado routed Oklahoma State 52-0 on Friday to keep its outside Big 12 title game hopes afloat.
Hunter finished with 10 receptions and 116 yards for the bowl-bound Buffaloes (9-3, 7-2, No. 25 CFP). His three touchdown catches gives him 14 on the year and moves him past Nelson Spruce (12 TDs, 2014) for the most by a Colorado receiver in a single season. After his third touchdown catch, Hunter got up and struck the Heisman pose.
