College football's Cinderella team, the Colorado Buffaloes, has started 3-0. Two-way player Travis Hunter was injured in the Colorado State game and is expected to be out for a few weeks. Can the Buffs keep up their momentum as they face ranked Oregon and USC in the next two weeks?

00:00 Colorado is still the primetime team in college football.
00:03 I'm Robin Lundberg here with Claudette Montana.
00:05 And Claudette, Colorado gets that win over Colorado State
00:09 in double OT, but they lose Travis Hunter in the process
00:13 thanks to that late hit, dirty hit, really.
00:16 Can they keep it up without Hunter?
00:18 Well, he's obviously one of their best players,
00:20 plays on both sides of the ball, offense and defense.
00:22 And Colorado is really getting one of their bigger tests
00:26 in the next couple of weeks, playing Oregon on the road
00:28 at Autzen Stadium, which is not easy,
00:30 and then playing at USC at home.
00:32 I still think even at full strength,
00:34 both these teams are better than Colorado,
00:36 but certainly having a guy like Travis Hunter available to you
00:40 would only give you your best shot at winning.
00:42 Well, look, Colorado saved their season
00:44 by winning that game against Colorado State.
00:47 The memes and the mockery would have been out of this world.
00:50 You would have needed to put sunglasses on to deal
00:53 with all the screen time you'd have having seen those things
00:56 because there were 20-something point favorites in that game.
01:00 They've already run three times as many games
01:02 as they won last season.
01:04 So yeah, it's going to be hard for them to keep it up
01:06 without Travis Hunter, but I do think the pressure
01:10 was taken off by them getting that win.
01:12 I do think it would behoove the Buffs here
01:14 to maybe relax a little bit.
01:16 I like the bravado, but they're getting themselves
01:19 perilously close to that embarrassing line
01:22 with some of the way they've been a little in your face.
