“He is one of, if not the, best cornerbacks in college football and he’s a 1,000-yard receiver, it’s incredible.”Hunter’s unique ability to create an impact on any given snap is what has separated him from the rest of college football during the season. “He’s the best player in college football,” Sanders said after the Buffaloes’ 52-0 win over Oklahoma State. Nobody could deal with him on either side of the ball,” Sanders added. I don’t know where I would have been at if I went to Florida State,” Hunter said on The Pivot. “It would be remarkable, but he’s done it for 12 games a year in college and college football has limits on how much guys can practice – 20-hour-a-week limits.

CNN —University of Colorado’s Travis Hunter was crowned the winner of the 2024 Heisman Trophy on Saturday following an impressive season with the Buffaloes. Hunter’s chase for the Heisman Trophy was tightly contested throughout the season as he competed with Jeanty for the sport’s top prize. Travis Hunter proved today, and he’s proved every week, that he’s the best player in college football,” Sanders said last month. In his freshman season, Hunter finished with four receiving touchdowns, 20 total tackles and two interceptions in eight games. Hunter followed Sanders to Colorado, where the dynamic playmaker solidified himself as one of the top college football players in the nation.

Thank you.”Hunter joins the late Rashaan Salaam, who won the Heisman in 1994 with a 2,000-yard rushing season, as CU’s only Heisman winners. He’s the catalyst, he makes everything go and enables Travis to be Travis, but Travis Hunter is doing something we’ve never seen before.”Jeanty only played one position, but few in college football history have ever played it better. Again, Hunter was limited to nine games in 2023, this time after taking a late hit against Colorado State that left him with a lacerated liver. The injuries never deterred Sanders from playing Hunter as much as possible, and this season there was no denying the results. Led by Hunter and Shedeur, Colorado contended for the Big 12 title until the final weekend of the regular season.

He’s in the top 10 for passing yards per attempt (8.0) and touchdown percentage on passes (5.9). That’s well down from his career average of 5.00%, and it ranks second in the NFL.

Behind four total touchdowns by quarterback Josh Allen, the Bills routed the 49ers 35-10 on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” to clinch a playoff spot and win Buffalo’s fifth consecutive AFC East title.

Cold air rushing over relatively warm lakes is the same recipe that produced feet of lake-effect snow over the holiday weekend. Lake-effect snow buries a home in Conneaut, Ohio, on Saturday. “Be prepared for rapid changes in weather, visibility, and road conditions.”This weekend proved just how debilitating lake-effect snow is for travel.
