Travis Hunter delivered a game-winning fumble in overtime to seal Colorado’s thrilling 38-31 victory over Baylor. His YouTube vlog captured the exciting day, showing behind-the-scenes moments of celebration.
In the lighthearted part of the clip, Hunter playfully shoved quarterback Shedeur Sanders after the win, giving fans a glimpse of the team’s strong bond.
The video also captured a deeper conversation between players, debating whether their win was due to luck or divine intervention. At the 35-minute mark, Shedeur approached Hunter, giving him a warm hug and jokingly planting brotherly kisses.
Hunter, trying to dodge the affection, laughed and said:
"Stop kissing me bruh … he is trying to take me out to eat. I'm trying to go home and go to sleep man,” Hunter said.
In the next moment of the video, Hunter added:
“He (Shedeur) told me to go get the ball though and guess what I did. I want to go get it,” he said. "That's all you had to say.”
Two-way star Hunter’s clutch play bolstered his Heisman candidacy, forcing a fumble at the goal line to help the Buffs secure the win in their Big 12 return, on Saturday.
“I knew they were coming at me,” Hunter said [H/t ESPN]. “They didn’t think I could tackle, so I had to show them.”
Hunter also had seven catches for 130 yards and recorded three tackles, continuing to shine on both sides of the ball.

Is Travis Hunter the best player in college football?
Travis Hunter is making his case as the best player in college football, and it’s not even close. In just four games, he’s hauled in 37 catches for 472 yards. That puts him sixth in the nation for receiving yards and fifth for receptions, according to Fox. Among Power 4 receivers, he’s second in receptions and third in yards.
Last season, Hunter racked up 57 catches, 721 yards and five touchdowns. But this year, it’s not just about stats — it’s about leadership and versatility. Hunter plays on both sides of the ball, often in crucial moments, making game-changing plays whether he’s on offense or defense.
He’s a vocal leader, guiding his teammates and keeping the defense organized. The Buffaloes need him to lead them to at least eight wins to contend for the Big 12 title.
The Heisman conversation is getting harder with Hunter in the mix, and for good reason.
