2. Travis Hunter Can’t Do It All, Even Though He Tries

Travis Hunter is truly a one-of-a-kind player. A type of player that college football hasn’t seen in quite some time.

Hunter has 31 tackles and 3 interceptions on the season from his defensive back position while hauling in 57 catches for 721 yards and 5 touchdowns from the wide receiver position.

He has been able to lock down opposing wide receivers while he is playing in the secondary, but when you have a defensive line and linebackers that give up 268 rushing yards in a game, it makes his job a lot tougher.

If Colorado football is truly going to turn this thing around next season and put together some wins, the Buffaloes need to get some help up front on both sides of the ball.

The throwing and catching may look nice, but with no one to protect the QB, or get after the QB, it makes the task just that much more difficult.
