As Travis Hunter's Colorado Buffaloes prepare for a high-stakes matchup against the Kansas Jayhawks this weekend, tensions are already running high, thanks to some pointed remarks from Kansas cornerback Cobee Bryant.
The exchange has set the stage for what could be a defining game for both players.
"I'm not going to lie. I've been waiting," Bryant said.
"I already marked this on my notes. I already know this is the game I've been wanting all season. Yeah, this going to be the game."
Hunter, a Heisman favorite and one of the most dynamic players in college football, caught wind of Bryant's comments during a live stream. While Hunter kept his response calm, his confidence was undeniable.
"Let people talk, bro," he said. "If that makes him feel better...they know they're gonna have to double team...stop talking crazy, bro!".
The game holds immense stakes for Colorado, currently 8-2 and eyeing a playoff spot. Kansas, at 4-6, might seem like a lesser opponent on paper, but their recent resurgence tells a different story.
The Jayhawks have won three of their last four games, including an upset over Big 12 leaders BYU. With momentum on their side, Kansas is looking to play spoiler.
Set to lock horns
Bryant, a two-time All-Big 12 first-teamer, is no stranger to high-pressure situations. Known for his lockdown defense, he's poised to make Hunter's offensive snaps anything but easy.
However, Hunter has proven time and again why he's one of the most electrifying athletes in college football.
His performance last weekend-a rushing touchdown that came out of a broken play-underscored his ability to deliver in unexpected ways.
