The play is called “Heisman” because, ideally, it involves Colorado’s two Heisman hopefuls. There was two-way standout Travis Hunter taking a pitch on a reverse in the fourth quarter Saturday and quarterback Shedeur Sanders sprinting out for a pass.

Shedeur Sanders threw three touchdowns for Colorado and continued his impressive season as Travis Hunter added a touchdown of his own, this time in the rushing game. However, Hunter's touchdown against Utah was supposed to go to Sanders, according to what the Colorado quarterback said after the game.

If Colorado simply handles its business the rest of the way and beats three teams, Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma State (with a combined record of 10-18), the Buffaloes will have a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game and a chance to play their way into the College Football Playoff, completing an incredible turnaround from last year’s four-win season.
