It’s no secret that the Colorada Buffs dominated the UCF Knights with a 48-21 win. The game showcased the Buffs’ strong offense, led by star quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who threw for 290 yards and three touchdowns. Additionally, it demonstrated a noteworthy improvement in the team’s defense.

In that game, the Buffs managed to force four turnovers and kept the Knights’ third-down conversion rate to just 33.3%. And the highlight of the game was, of course, dual-threat Travis Hunter’s “Heisman Pose.” Travis also ran for 88 yards with one touchdown and nine receptions and has also secured his position as one of the top contenders for the Heisman Trophy.
Even Fox Sports analyst and Colorado alum Joel Klatt shared his thoughts on the team’s performance against the Knights, saying, “If you are a Deion hater, Saturday was awful for you. It’s not just because Colorado won, but it’s the way in which they won.”
