Fans can’t wait for duel between Colorado’s Travis Hunter and USC’s Zachariah Branch

USC versus Colorado on September 30 felt like a nothingburger game one month ago. Then Colorado beat TCU in Week 1 of the 2023 season. Then the Buffs hammered Nebraska in Week 2. The game has taken on completely different dimensions. It has become the NFL scouting game of the young season, a showcase for elite talent and some eye-catching positional battles.

Deion Sanders has done a spectacular job in Boulder with an entirely new roster he threw together in a few months. This story is notable because Colorado seems to have a legitimately good team, but it’s also important because it will revolutionize college football. Coaches will now feel more emboldened to totally remake their rosters with massive transfer portal changes. Several dozen departures and entrances will be more — not less — prevalent in the future.

Part of Deion’s portal transformation comes from his two biggest stars, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. Some college football fans can’t wait for the quarterback duel between Shedeur Sanders and Caleb Williams when USC visits Boulder in a few weeks. Others, however, can’t get enough of the battle on the perimeter with Travis Hunter and USC’s Zachariah Branch going at it.

The hype is already off the charts, as you can see below:
