Travis Hunter Appreciation Thread (Awards: HE12MAN, Walter Camp, Biletnikoff, Bednarik, Lott, Paul Hornung, AP PotY)

[jaybird]

Some plays he makes, It's like he can see the game in slow motion. I'm left dumbfounded

 

[Heywood]

[El Gringo]

18+ yards per catch is amazing!

One of the greatest Defensive plays in Colorado football history.

Give him all the trophies. Retire his number the moment he graduates. There will never be another Buffalo like him.

We gotta get this viral. Manifest it.

 

[LesGrossman]

Remarkable how many people have convinced themselves Travis isn’t worthy of Heisman conversation due to their hatred of the Sanders family

 

[Emmanuel Goldstein]

I am continually amazed at his willingness and ability as a violent, sure tackler. Not something you see often from the CB position.

 

[SewallBeach]

 

[Uncle Ken]

That feels like a pretty esoteric stat.

 

[MCskid]

Best player to wear a CU jersey... And there have been some great ones

I think because he plays for CU we short change him. He’s the best wide receiver in college football and he’s significantly better at cornerback. Let that sink in. If he keeps this up he’s the best college football player of at least the last 50 years, if not the last 125.

If he played for any other coach the conversation would be ‘is he going to unanimously win the he12man’

 

[Bread]

And he should have had two TFL’s that were waved off due to penalties away from the play.

 

[SeanMSan]

Someone needs to tag Jay Norvell’s son to make sure that he knows what a real football player looks like. Maybe he can tag along to the next Travis and Blackburn father/son bowling outing?

Heisman
He is man
He 12 man
He12man

[Dark Bohner]

One is not like the other.

 

[Heywood]

There is only one player named Travis with 100 plus receiving yards in every game this season!!!

 

[MtnBuff]

Which one of those guys also is the best corner in college football denying opponents yardage at the same time as he piles it up.

Ewers getting injured helps

If he played for any other coach the conversation would be ‘is he going to unanimously win the he12man’

If he played for any other coach he wouldn't be on the field all game.

 

[hokiehead]

how many times was Hunter thrown at on Saturday? was it zero?

Feels about right to me. I think we're going to start seeing the Prime media machine, along with the University, start the "HE12MAN" campaign over the next 2-3 weeks, especially if we can get this win against UCF and go into the Bye week at 4-1 (2-0).

The uniqueness of what we're seeing is going to add that extra little bit to his resume over a QB or RB just having a great season.

I could be wrong, but I think the reality of the situation is that this team is going to get to about 6 wins. A six win team will not and probably should not have a player that wins the heisman.

I didn't realize the Heisman was a team award.

It technically isn’t, but history shows it almost always goes to a player on a good team

I know. It is why the Heisman has lost a lot of relevance over the years.

 

[Buffnik]

Yep. It's too often been the CFB MVP instead of the Most Outstanding Player.

I hate when they give it to the QB of the #1 team when the guy is more of a mature decision maker and game manager than a difference making superstar.
