CU Buffs offensive coordinator, Pat Shurmur, is setting up star receiver Travis Hunter for a Heisman Trophy with a well-balanced offensive attack. In their recent game against UCF, the Buffs showcased a dynamic rushing game that opened up opportunities for Hunter to shine. The combination of talented tailbacks Micah Welch, Dallan Hayden, and Isaiah Augustave has kept defenses on their toes and allowed Hunter to excel.
Shurmur’s use of play action and a mix of formations, including the occasional tight end, has kept opponents guessing and allowed the Buffs to unleash their potent passing attack. The strategic balance between running and passing plays has been key to the team’s recent success, with CU winning their last three games and scoring an average of 38.0 points per game.
Hunter’s standout performances, including a spectacular touchdown catch against UCF, have only enhanced his Heisman chances. The offense’s ability to create opportunities for Hunter through a strong rushing game has made him a formidable threat on the field.
Looking ahead to a crucial matchup against No. 20 Kansas State, Shurmur remains focused on maintaining the current offensive strategy that has proven successful. With the team firing on all cylinders and a confident Hunter leading the way, the Buffs are poised for a successful season.
