Colorado has been the definition of high drama over the last two college football seasons. That continued on Saturday night.

The Buffaloes were holding on to a 38-31 lead over Baylor in overtime at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo.

Baylor had a first-and-goal situation at the one-yard line and threatened to potentially tie or take the lead with an OT touchdown of their own. Colorado’s two-way stud Travis Hunter had other ideas.

Hunter was the last line of defense between Baylor running back Dominic Richardson and the end zone. Richardson ended up getting through but fumbled the football after colliding with Hunter.

The ending of Saturday’s game felt like an unbelievable final play in a Hollywood football flick. Hunter was appropriately the star of the scene, as he’s done the same for Colorado all season long.

Hunter not only forced the game-sealing fumble. He also led the Buffaloes with 130 receiving yards on seven catches.

If Hunter was the brightest star, Shedeur Sanders and LaJohntay Wester were at the very least vital supporting cast members. The two connected on a game-tying Hail Mary play to even force overtime in the first place.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
