Travis Hunter had nine catches, including two for touchdowns, as the Colorado defeated Cincinnati, 34-23, in Big 12 play on Saturday night.
Deion Sanders’ team won its sixth game of the season and is now eligible for a bowl game. The last time the Buffs played in a bowl game was 2016.
The Buffaloes led 31-14 at one point but the Bearcats got a field goal and touchdown to close within eight.
Colorado went on a drive that wound up with a field goal by Alejandro Mata to open the gap to 11 and essentially ice the game.
Hunter made an incredible catch — his ninth — on the drive despite being interfered with as a Cincinnati defender had him around the neck.
Shedeur Sanders was 25-of-30 for 323 passing yards and the two touchdowns to Hunter.
It wasn’t all glory for Hunter as Cincy tight end Joe Royer shed him with a classic stiff arm in the second half.
