Sanders and Hunter hot in the desert
Article By: Buffs Stampede the Wildcats: Shedeur and Travis Put on a Show in the Desert
The Colorado Buffaloes rolled into Tucson and treated the Arizona Wildcats like a piñata at a birthday party, smashing their way to a thrilling victory. Shedeur Sanders was dealing all night, throwing for 397 yards and a ridiculous six total touchdowns—five through the air and one on the ground, just to keep things interesting. He made the Arizona secondary look like they were auditioning for a magic act, constantly making defenders disappear. But the real magician? Travis Hunter. The do-it-all superstar torched the Wildcats with nine catches for 200 yards and three touchdowns, making Arizona’s defensive backs question their career choices. Oh, and just for fun, he decided to snag an interception on defense too—because why not?
On the other side of the ball, Carter Stoutmire was everywhere, racking up 12 tackles and an interception of his own, basically living rent-free in Arizona’s backfield. Colorado’s offense was smoother than a fresh jar of peanut butter, and their defense did enough. When the final whistle blew, the Buffs had left their mark in the desert, proving once again that when Sanders and Hunter are in town, it’s going to be a long night for whoever’s in their way.
