College football is back -- and so is Travis Hunter.
The junior star wide receiver/cornerback hybrid enjoyed a stellar performance right out of the gates, delivering a hat-trick of receiving touchdowns to help Colorado top North Dakota State 31-26 at home.
Hunter, specifically, hauled in seven catches for 132 yards and three scores, while fellow intriguing wideout Jimmy Horn Jr. also logged seven passes but for 198 yards and a touchdown, his longest going for 69.
While Colorado's run game never launched, quarterback Shedeur Sanders flexed his way to 445 passing yards on 26 of 34 completions, four touchdowns and one pick.
