Are you a believer yet? Deion Sanders made sure to grill the media who doubted him after Colorado football’s season-opening road win over No. 17 TCU.

Now the Buffaloes return home with all the hype in the world on their side to face a Nebraska team coming off a massive choke on the road against Minnesota in the opener. It seems like this should be a convincing win for Colorado, but you just never know in college football.

Let’s get bold ahead of this monster matchup in Week 2.

3. Travis Hunter scores a touchdown on both sides of the ball

Travis Hunter was one of the biggest names in college football in Week 1, recording an interception on defense and over 100 yards receiving on the offensive side of the ball. He played the entire game and seemed to get better throughout which almost makes no sense.

One thing he did not do in the opener was score a touchdown.

That’s going to change on Saturday as he finishes with one on each side of the ball. He’ll pick Jeff Sims off and take it to the house and he’ll also catch his first touchdown pass from Shedeur Sanders in a Colorado uniform.

We’ve heard about Hunter’s own Heisman goals, but this game is only going to make him a bigger candidate for the coveted award.

If you’re a Colorado hater, stay off social media on Saturday.
