BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Travis Hunter strengthened his Heisman hopes with three touchdown catches and an interception as No. 23 Colorado routed Oklahoma State 52-0 to keep its outside Big 12 title game hopes afloat.
Hunter finished with 10 receptions for 116 yards. His three TD catches gives him 14 on the year and moves him past Nelson Spruce for the most by a Colorado receiver in a single season.
Hunter, who caught the last one with a defender hanging on him while he was falling to the turf, punctuated the moment by striking a Heisman pose.
Shedeur Sanders threw for 438 yards to break the school's single-season passing mark for the bowl-bound Buffaloes. Oklahoma State ended the year on a nine-game skid.
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders says he’ll play in his team’s bowl game, while his dad says he’s planning on CU’s Heisman favorite, Travis Hunter, being there, too.
If both show up, it would come at some risk and would largely run counter to what dozens of NFL hopefuls have done in recent years, now that the College Football Playoff has become the only postseason event with a real title at stake.
Sanders says he knows he and Hunter need to show up, because if they don't, many on CU could follow suit.
