When the game was on the line, Shedeur didn’t blink. On a fourth-and-2 near midfield with seven minutes to go, he avoided pressure and hit the running back Edwards in stride for a 46-yard touchdown to give the Buffaloes a three-point lead. —Hunter, the former No. 1 overall recruit who followed Deion Sanders to Colorado from Jackson State, put on a show. He played the majority of snaps on both offense and defense and made a highlight-reel-worthy interception to thwart a TCU scoring drive.
Hunter finished with 11 receptions for 119 yards and came close to making two other highlight catches, a diving would-be touchdown reception that squirted out as he fell to the turf and another in which he was interfered with and had a foot come down out of bounds. —Hunter wasn’t just the best player on the field on Saturday, he’s the best-conditioned player in the sport. As the heat in Dallas crept toward triple digits on Saturday, Hunter’s playmaking increased in kind.
