Dawn Staley was riding high on adrenaline after Colorado's thrilling overtime win over Baylor on Saturday, highlighted by a clutch performance from two-way star Travis Hunter. The Buffaloes clinched one of the most exciting victories of the season, defeating the Bears 38-31 at Folsom Field.
Fans stormed the field as Hunter's Superman-like dive near the end zone sealed the game in the final moments. Staley, who recently appeared on ESPN's "College GameDay" at Gamecock Park, predicted Colorado's win against Colorado State in Week 3, and the Buffs delivered with a 28-9 victory.
But her excitement hit new heights after Week 4. Hunter, showing why he's a two-way star and one of college football's biggest names, played a pivotal role alongside quarterback Shedeur Sanders in Colorado's win.
Taking to her X account, Staley tweeted:
“Hey @CUBuffsFootball….I need a Travis Hunter jersey asap! I ain’t hard to find! Thank you in advance!”
She even used Buffs coach Deion Sanders' iconic line, “I ain’t hard to find!” in her post.
Despite Baylor entering the game with the top-ranked passing defense, Hunter was unstoppable. He forced a game-clinching fumble with a powerful hit just inches from the goal line and had his fourth straight 100-yard receiving game, catching seven passes for 130 yards.
Now sitting at 3-1 on the season and 1-0 in Big 12 play, the Buffaloes are looking strong for the future.
