Colorado coach Deion Sanders did not hold back when assessing Travis Hunter’s massive performance in Friday’s 52-0 win over Oklahoma State.
Sanders argued that Hunter had “clinched” the Heisman Trophy with his dominant performance in the victory. The coach also doubled down on his frustration with Hunter’s omission from the list of Jim Thorpe Award finalists while pushing the two-way star’s Heisman hopes.
“I think Travis clinched the Heisman with his performance,” Sanders said. “I think he made a lot of people aware of how ignorant that was with the Thorpe. His performance today, what, he had three touchdowns, 100 yards, and an interception, and two passes broken up? He should have had another pick. Hit him right in the darn chest.”
