Colorado Buffaloes Travis Hunter‘s last season injury is still on our minds, amidst which he received verbal abuse by the opponent team’s QB. Around the same time during the 2023 college football season, Travis Hunter sparked worries after he got injured during a game against Colorado State. Hunter endured a shocking late hit during the first half of the game, after which he remained sidelined for “a few weeks,” as informed by Deion Sanders. Fast forward to today’s game between the same teams. Quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi threw a verbal tantrum towards him, leading Buffs fans to anger.

During the most anticipated game between Colorado State and the Colorado Buffaloes, where the Buffaloes were heading towards a crystal clear win with a 14-3 score at halftime, CU State quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi tried trash-talking Travis Hunter. In an ‘X’ post, a clip of this incident was highlighted with a caption that reads, “Colorado State QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi just told Travis Hunter he’s too small while trailing 14-3.  In that clip, you can see Brayden getting really mad at Hunter and making angry hand gestures. Hunter didn’t react much because the referee stepped in to stop the drama.

So, after messing up, Fowler-Niclosi could be frustrated with his losing team resulting in targeting Hunter. After giving up 14 points way before halftime, Colorado State’s defense put it on the Buffs early in the third quarter. They got the pigskin at their 2-yard line. Soon came Fowler-Nicolosi on second down, who passed a risky throw that was intercepted by Preston Hodge, who passed the pigskin to the 12-yard line. Well, these were many such moments that became turning points in a game. It eventually gave the Buffs a 9-28 win over the CSU Rams.

Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter duo leading the buffs toward victory

The CSU hosted the ‘Rocky Mountain’ game on Saturday, September 14, 2024. The stadium was echoing with a few names, including Buff’s Shedeur Sanders, Dallan Hayden, and Travis Hunter. The Buffs QB completed 36 of his 49 passes for 310 yards with 4 TDs to his name. That’s huge, man! Add to that, Dallas Hayden has contributed with 14 carries for 52 yards. And Travis Hunter had a great game, catching 2 of Shedeur’s 4 touchdown passes and even picking off an interception.

Right after hitting the field, the Buffs took charge of the game, including 21 unanswered points in the second half of the game. Shedeur Sanders was incredible this time, possibly taking notes from last game’s blunders. It seems like the Colorado Buffaloes are on a winning streak, and their players are stepping up big-time.
