While the early season hype that surrounded the Colorado football program has quieted significantly as the end of October nears, the ability of Travis Hunter remains crystal clear.
Colorado’s star two-way player made his presence felt on the defensive side of the football with an acrobatic first quarter interception against UCLA on Saturday night.
Hunter, who was locked up in man coverage on the outside, read UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers’s eyes and jumped in front of Bruins receiver Logan Loya for the ridiculous interception.

In order for the Buffaloes to pull off a road upset against the Bruins on Saturday night, Hunter will need to make an impact on both sides of the ball.
The first quarter pick by Hunter exemplified his unbelievable athleticism once again.
Colorado entered play on Saturday night with a 4–3 record on the season after falling 46–43 to Stanford two weeks ago. After winning one game last season, the Buffaloes are two victories away from bowl eligibility in coach Deion Sanders’s first year in Boulder.
