    Shedeur Sanders to Travis Hunter is the nation's best QB-receiver combo. Talk about a dynamic duo. Batman to Batman.

    Sanders connected on 36 of 49 pass attempts for 310 yards and four touchdowns.

    Hunter meanwhile recorded 13 catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns as a receiver, while making five tackles and an interception as a cornerback.

    There's nothing else to say about Travis Hunter: he's gonna be the most talented player on the field 9 times out of 10. <br><br>But Shedeur is really impressive too. He throws a beautiful ball.

    Travis Hunter is a cheat code but Shedeur is throwing DIMES

    That Sanders to Hunter combination is sick

    Hunter's work on both sides of the ball helped the Buffaloes defense achieve what was arguably its strongest performance of the season.

    Colorado State quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi was limited to 22-of-38 passing and saw two of his passes picked off in the second half.

    And that's game. Hunter is the truth. Another TD catch on beautiful pass by Sanders. Two reasons CU should feel good about this outing: they have run the ball effectively and Livingston has defense playing better than at any point last season.

    Adrian Foster @Adrian_Desean

    This is the best Colorado's defense has looked the last 2 seasons

    The win may have helped both Sanders and Hunter improve their draft stock as the two Colorado stars take another step closer to the 2025 NFL draft.

    The more I watch Shedeur, the less I think about him being the best qb in the draft and more I think he has a chance to be one of the best qb's in the NFL<br><br>They don't play the same but it's like watching what Mahomes did at Texas Tech

    Colorado improved to 2-1 with the team's most convincing victory of the season yet following the Buffaloes' close season-opening win over North Dakota State and last week's loss to rival Nebraska.

    The connection between Sanders and Hunter will be back on display next Saturday when the Buffaloes return home to face Baylor.
