Deion Sanders is planning on having a committee approach to the secondary without Travis Hunter.
Hunter will be out for the next 3-4 weeks with a lacerated liver. Coach Prime said that Hunter is doing great and back to being the player Sanders knows at Tuesday’s presser.
“Travis is doing great. Got out of the hospital yesterday. He’s at home doing his schoolwork, playing video games, being Travis,” said Sanders. “Wonderful man. He can’t wait to get back to continue to do what he’s capable of doing.”
Sanders is looking forward to seeing who steps up in the secondary on Saturday.
“The plan at corner is corner by committee,” said Sanders. “That’s why we practice. We’re gonna see who steps up and takes over that role.”
Colorado’s Pac-12 opener won’t be an easy task. The Buffaloes face Oregon at Autzen Stadium on Saturday. The last time that Colorado beat Oregon was in 2016.
Last season’s matchup was one-sided in favor of Oregon. The Ducks dominated Colorado in Boulder 49-10.
Prime and his team will face their toughest test yet in one of the Pac-12’s better teams. Former Auburn quarterback Bo Nix won’t make it easy on them.
Kickoff for Week 4’s ranked matchup will take place at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
