Hunter, a cornerback-receiver, played every snap before coming out of the game after a scoring on a 5-yard rushing touchdown late in the fourth. He caught five passes for 55 yards on offense, made three tackles on defense and reeled in an interception to offset a touchdown he gave up in the third quarter – his first allowed touchdown of the year.

The Buffaloes are allowing 22.6 points a game while blending in six new starters, including five newcomers/transfer portal additions, with two-way standout Travis Hunter.
