In the midst of a fierce rivalry battle with Colorado State, No. 18 Colorado lost one of college football's most electrifying players Saturday night.
Buffaloes wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter was ruled out for the remainder of the contest and was transported to a local hospital for evaluation, Colorado announced during the third quarter.
With 4:59 left in the first quarter and the Rams leading 14-7, Hunter took a vicious hit to his midsection from Colorado State defensive back Henry Blackburn while attempting to catch a deep pass from quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The play drew two flags—one for pass interference and a second for unnecessary roughness on Blackburn.
