Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi struck the wrong pose.
Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver Travis Hunter makes a catch for a touchdown against Colorado State Rams defensive back Dom Jones in the third quarter at Canvas Stadium in Ft. Collins, Colorado Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024. And he just might’ve kick-started Travis Hunter’s Heisman Trophy march with one little gesture.
Following that exchange, the Buffs’ two-way star, who played more than 100 snaps in the Rocky Mountain Showdown, caught four balls for 31 yards and two touchdowns — and that was just on offense. On defense, No. 12 picked up an interception and an all-time unsportsmanlike penalty for celebrating that pick with his teammates, powering CU’s 28-9 win over the Rams in the first-ever Showdown at Canvas Stadium.
CSU let CU hang around. They let Shedeur Sanders get comfortable in the pocket. They let Hunter and LaJohntay Wester get comfortable between the hash marks. They let the Buffs get comfortable enough to find a foothold.The Cornhuskers had scored a touchdown the first time they had the ball, a touchdown the fourth time they had the ball, and fired off a quick pick-6 in between to forge a 21-0 cushion by midway through the second quarter.
