Perhaps the most anticipated game of the year took place last Saturday between the upstart Colorado Buffaloes and the 8th-ranked USC Trojans between two potential Heisman candidates and the two most exciting quarterbacks in the country in Shedeur Sanders and Caleb Williams. One name that was not on anyone’s radar, however, was Colorado freshman wide receiver Omarion Miller.
It was one hell of a debut for Miller, who made the first catch of his college career on Saturday and then proceeded to help carry the Colorado offense. Miller proved completely unstoppable as Sanders’ new top weapon, dialing up seven receptions for a game-breaking 196 yards and a clutch fourth-quarter touchdown that almost sparked a comeback victory.

Miller showed the desired height/weight/speed combination that has been missing from this offense since the injury of star player Travis Hunter. Miller looked every bit the part of a classic 1A receiver for this offense, and in just his first game has become the team’s best receiver. With more room for growth and the return of Hunter to this offense, this passing attack could become even more dangerous, with Miller as the focal point of their aerial assault.
