It wasn’t pretty at times, but Deion Sanders’ Colorado squad pulled out the Week 1 win last night against North Dakota State (31-26). And while the Buffs have plenty to work on, Thursday's hero of the game might just be the most exciting player in college football. Travis Hunter’s Heisman Trophy odds doubled — from +5000 to +2500 — in a matter of hours. The two-way junior played nearly 50 snaps on defense and 40 on offense while catching a Colorado-record 3 TDs. The last of Hunter’s three touchdown catches set social media on fire. That score put the Buffs up 31-20. QB Shedeur Sanders had a stat-stuffing night with four total TDs. Colorado’s talent is evident, but NDSU exposed some areas for improvement.
