Yep, and NDSU is absolutely giving them a game.
Don’t get me wrong, NDSU is a very good and well coached FCS team, but they are exactly that. They are an FCS school playing with FCS talent. Colorado has far superior talent, but look at what Hunter and QB Sanders have had to do and the plays they’ve had to make to just now go up by 11points in the 4th.
Hunter is an outstanding player, but he very likely can’t play a whole season of games like the game tonight, and he shouldn’t be expected to. At what point does his health start to suffer ridiculously taking so many snaps? Seriously, he is putting his potentially extremely successful career in jeopardy by doing this, and it seems extremely irresponsible for a coach to allow this if he indeed is asked to keep this up.
I’m very impressed with Hunter and QB Sanders, but I’m very unimpressed with the Colorado team and specifically Coach Prime so far. What’s going to happen when they start playing more talented teams?
I really hope that Hunter’s career isn’t sacrificed just so Coach Prime can have a few minor moments of glory as a head coach. It would be a terrible shame.
