Colorado’s Travis Hunter is a one-of-one in school soccer this season.
The sophomore and previous Deny. 1 general contract continues to dazzle as a two-way participant, making absurd catches as a large receiver and making quarterbacks remorseful about throwing his means as a cornerback. In doing so, Hunter has seemed in a blended 270 snaps over Colorado’s first two video games.
Can Hunter proceed to drag off this ironman position for all the season?
“I don’t care how good of shape you’re in, 115 snaps, you can do that now because you’re fresh,” a Energy 5 defensive coordinator instructed ESPN Tuesday. “But I don’t know how you can sustain [that], especially as I would think some teams are going to try to make him tackle and double him in coverage and that sort of stuff.
“You installed a fourth- or fifth-team large receiver and say, ‘Glance, you forbid him the entire recreation. I would like him at the bench.’ You actually construct him exert himself.”
On Wednesday’s version of “Undisputed,” co-host Richard Sherman called out that Power 5 coach for not putting his name to his quotes.
“If I were given to be nameless and conceal at the back of anonymity, after I will be able to’t in reality consider it,” Sherman said. “Travis Hunter is a special beast than this defensive coordinator obviously has ever detectable. You’ll be able to say no matter you need, however to deliver for me to in reality admire what you’re announcing, you were given to place your title at the back of it. Has he impaired out but? Deny, he hasn’t. May just he put on out going forward? Perhaps, I don’t know. We’ll see, however for him to mention that and no longer put his title on it, it simply looks like, ‘Shut up, I don’t support.'”
Fellow co-host Keyshawn Johnson thinks that Hunter won’t get worn out due to the ebbs and flows of a college football season taking him off the field.
“Nameless defensive coordinator is gonna get fired as a result of he’s were given a unholy recreation plan,” Johnson said. “You gonna put your fourth and 5th wideout at the garden, so subsequently you’re casting off actual gamers at the offensive facet of the ball that may backup you win. And after you’re speaking about double-teaming Travis Hunter when he’s at the garden and the offensive point of view, so now you’re taking and using two gamers on him, so now you gonna let us do one thing other purpose we all know you gonna double him. …
“Do I anticipate him to play 160 snaps every single game the rest of the season? No, because he won’t have to. You think he’s going to play 150-something snaps against Colorado State? No, because I predict they run shop on Colorado State. Will he play a little bit longer, maybe 130 snaps, against Oregon? Probably so, depending on how the game is going. Same thing against SC. So I don’t buy into this anonymous defensive coordinator.”
Hunter hauled in 11 receptions for 119 yards and made a diving goal-line interception in Colorado’s 45-42 highway win over TCU in Date 1. Utmost while, he had 3 receptions for 73 yards and 4 blended tackles towards Nebraska. Colorado’s protection held Nebraska to fourteen issues, which incorporated a 57-yard landing run through quarterback Jeff Sims and a landing with one 2d extra in an eventual 36-14 win.
