The Colorado Buffaloes’ story contains so many explosive and interesting dimensions. USC will collide with the Buffs on September 30 in a game whose magnitude just increased.
We asked our Pac-12 experts who was more impressive in Week 1 for Colorado: Shedeur Sanders or Travis Hunter?
Zachary Neel, Ducks Wire: I’m honestly going to say Sanders impressed me more. Hunter playing both ways was incredible, but Sanders has a chance to get into the class of elite passers in the Pac-12 if he keeps this up.
Matt Wadleigh, Trojans and Buffaloes Wire: Shedeur Sanders was the most impressive. Travis Hunter is a generational two-way talent, and he fits right in. But, Shedeur making the jump from the FCS to a Power Five program and winning on the road was something else.
Matt Zemek, Trojans Wire: Hunter playing 145 snaps in extreme Texas heat and not really wearing down — and making huge plays on both sides of the ball — is easily one of the most remarkable single-game performances I have ever seen. How did he do that?

Shedeur Sanders versus Caleb Williams could steal the show in the Pac-12 this season. It wasn’t hyped that much in the offseason, but it sure will be now.
