Buffaloes 'Grown' QB gets his second score against the Utes
Shedeur Sanders and Will Sheppard continued their strong connection against Utah, hooking up for their second touchdown of the game just before halftime to give No. 18 Colorado a commanding 21-9 lead. The 6-yard scoring play capped a well-executed drive, highlighted by an incredible catch from two-way superstar Travis Hunter that left fans and announcers in awe. FOX’s Gus Johnson couldn’t contain his excitement, exclaiming, “Give him the Heisman right now!” after Hunter’s acrobatic grab.
The drive began with Colorado’s offense operating with confidence, leaning on the chemistry between Sanders and his receivers. On a fourth down play, Hunter made a jaw-dropping catch down the sideline, fully extending to haul in a pass that seemed destined to fall incomplete. The play not only moved the chains but also energized the Buffaloes’ sideline and the Folsom Field crowd.
Meanwhile, Colorado’s defense continued to dominate, keeping the Utes’ struggling offense in check. The Buffaloes racked up four tackles for loss and two sacks in the first half, consistently disrupting Utah’s rhythm. Linebackers and defensive linemen swarmed to the ball, while the secondary, anchored by Hunter, shut down Utah’s passing game.Utah’s offense, plagued by inefficiency and an inability to establish the run, could only manage three field goals in the first half.
Heading into the second half, Colorado appeared in control, with Sanders and Sheppard leading a confident offense and the defense continuing to stifle the Utes. The Buffaloes’ mix of explosive plays and defensive dominance underscored why they remain a strong contender in the national rankings.
