The Colorado Buffaloes are all over the internet after their thrilling 38-31 overtime win against the Baylor Bears in Week 4, and the star of the show? None other than two-way sensation, Travis Hunter.
Colorado (now 3-1) clinched the win in dramatic fashion as Hunter, playing both offense and defense, forced a game-winning fumble right at the goal line. The Bears were inches away from victory, but Hunter's clutch hit sealed the deal for the Buffs.
