Who is Colorado playing today? Analyzing Travis Hunter's return against star WR

Coming off a tough loss at home against Kansas State last week, the Colorado Buffaloes are heading back on the road to take on the Arizona Wildcats.

Do they have it in them to improve to 5-2 and secure the best record of the "Prime Time" era in Boulder?

There's a lot of narratives coming into this one. Let's assess them.

Travis Hunter returns, gives back, receives a significant nod

Buffs fans can bring relief as Heisman candidate Travis Hunter is being cleared for action this week after suffering a shoulder injury early in the game last week.

Off the field earlier this week, Hunter showed why he’s one of the most unselfish people around. Via Well Off Media, Deion Sanders asked the team to donate $5 to $10 each to help the bullied young man, but Hunter stepped up immensely with a five-thousand-dollar donation.

Academic standard: Jordan Seaton gets a high OL grade

Redshirt freshman WR Cordale Russell and junior DE Arden Walker were named The Big 12 Students of the Week for their academic performance last week.

OL Jordan Seaton was rewarded the highest grade for a freshman offensive tackle in college football by Pro Football Focus (PFF). According to PFF, In the last four games, Seaton has allowed only one sack and four quarterback hurries on 213 pass-blocking snaps.

Tertarioa McMillan is Arizona's player to watch

The Arizona Wildcats are 3-3 but 1-2 in the Big 12 conference play. Arizona’s offense is ranked by conference second last in scoring with 25.7 points per game, eighth in total offense with 413.5 YPG, and sixth in passing yardage with 272.7 per game.

The player to watch is WR Tetarioa McMillan, who is expected to match up with the Buffs’ Travis Hunter. McMillan leads the team in catches (42), yards (742) and touchdowns (4) through six games.
