"Give him the Heisman right now": Travis Hunter sends CFB Fans into frenzy with eye-catching play against UtahÂ
Travis Hunter seems to find new ways to light up the college football world every weekend.
The Colorado Buffaloes took care of business against the Utah Utes and Hunter decided to have yet another "Heisman Moment", snagging his third interception of the season off a tipped ball.
Fans reacted to the Heisman favorite's sensational defensive play.
"GIVE HIM THE HEISMAN RIGHT NOW"
"What a play from Colorado Freshman CB Colton Hood"
"Travis Hunter has a rushing TD, a receiving TD, an interception and a forced fumble this season. Let him throw a passing, Prime."
Utah quarterback Issac Wilson threw three interceptions on the day: one to Hunter, one to DJ McKinney, and one to Nikhai Hill-Green.
Hunter also finished the game with five catches for 55 yards, moving him to 856 receiving yards on the season.
Hunter's individual success has been enhanced by Colorado's team success. The 49-23 victory over Utah moves Colorado to 8-2 and legitimizes the team's hopes of making the 2024 College Football Playoff. To get there, the Buffaloes have to go through the rest of the regular season unscathed and likely win the Big 12 title game.
Hunter's Heisman campaign will continued to thrive and he should finish the year as the favorite pending a blunder from Colorado in its last stretch of games. The Buffaloes have the Kansas Jayhawks and Oklahoma State Cowboys left on their regular season schedule.
