The Colorado Buffaloes’ College Football Playoff chances improved significantly after Week 12. They achieved a big win over Utah, while BYU faced an unexpected loss to Kansas.

Shedeur Sanders threw three touchdowns for Colorado, while Travis Hunter scored a rushing touchdown, continuing their strong season performances.

Hunter’s touchdown against Utah was initially intended for Sanders, as the Colorado quarterback explained after the game.

After the game, reporters spoke about the play, and the Colorado quarterback shared his thoughts. Sanders admitted with a smile, “Honestly, that was supposed to be my touchdown. He took the spotlight on that one.”

Sanders passed the ball to Charlie Offerdahl, who quickly handed it off to Hunter. Instead of passing, Hunter ran straight up the middle, scoring a 5-yard touchdown.

Sanders admitted, “I feel like I could’ve run a better route” just before Hunter’s rush led to a score.

In the end, it didn’t matter much, as Colorado was already leading 42-24 late in the fourth quarter.

Colorado advances to an 8-2 record this season, with two games left and a potential Big 12 title ahead.
