Deion Sanders’ team certainly missed injured Travis Hunter in their disastrous game against Oregon but the same cannot be said for the star WR/CB. When the Buffs were down 35-0 at halftime, Hunter was seen locked in on his Twitch stream playing NBA 2K. It was certainly a day for Coach Prime to keep his receipts since nothing went as planned for them.
