I think we lost to Iowa State and Texas Tech that year prior to losing to the B12 brass and refs in championship game. I wonder had we only had 1 loss and the B12 championship if that would’ve given Suh the trophy. It’s all history but I wish we could’ve had the 08 offense to match the 09 D, might have won it all.
Zac Lee was garbage.

I don't think Hunter is really all that great of a football player. All of his highlights come against less talented competition. His biggest claim to fame is his endurance, and people are somehow convinced he should win the Heisman based on that alone, which is ridiculous. He may be really talented, but when you aren't focused on mastering a single position and can't gain or keep the muscle mass and strength needed to dominate (because you are running 100+ plays every week), we will never know in college how good he can/could be. Unfortunately we won't see him against elite competition, since Colorado plays in the Big 12, but in the past he was virtually invisible.

Let me put it this way, If I have a loaded roster and I'm looking for that one guy that can make a difference I wouldn't be looking at Hunter. It would be a guy like Cam Ward, Ryan Williams, Ashton Jeanty, Etc. Those dudes are actual game changers.

Agreed. I actually respect his game. Dislike of Shaddeur shouldn't affect him, but it might.
Well now he is hurt. Playing that many snaps was just a stupid idea. Both ways fine but every snap is Sanders desperately trying to win and get him paid. He was going to get injured it was a matter of time.

They’ve got some good games coming up:

vs Utah (good coach and rival)
@ KU (a lot better lately)
vs Okla St (good coach)

If he stays healthy and they win, I agree

If not, it’s still pretty wide open

There are no offensive players to take it away from him. Jeanty (sp)? is the only possible spoiler but I just don't see it.

If they are givivg it to the best CFB player, it's Hunter

Susprised shaddeur is so low. Do i think he will win it? No. But at 4K-1 odds, i'd toss a lil sumthin sumthin on it.

I think where the issue is for Sanders is that Hunter is more likely to get those votes. So it kind of hurts Sanders.

I also think Shedeur should be higher
