Urban Meyer Said Colorado Team is Better Than He Expected & Travis Hunter Doesn't Need Practice

Please subscribe to us here for more content / @buffsnationdaily ?sub_confirmation=1 Urban Meyer, FOX Sports analyst, visited Boulder to assess the Colorado Buffaloes' preparations for the upcoming 2023 football season, particularly their opener against TCU on Sept. 2. Meyer praised Coach Deion Sanders' coaching choices and the team's progress, highlighting the infusion of seventy new players. Travis Hunter, a former five-star and transfer from Jackson State, garnered special attention for his exceptional athletic ability, drawing comparisons to NFL star Percy Harvin. Hunter's dual-role potential adds to the Buffaloes' strength. The Buffaloes are set for a Power Five debut under Coach Prime, followed by a historic clash with Nebraska, and Meyer and FOX's Big Noon crew will be there to cover the action.

I've lived in Michigan all my life but something is pushing me towards routing for Colorado and even buying a jersey. God willing, this season will be Awesome! I'm Caucasian 57 y o and will always be a Wolverine or a Wuffs. 😊

[@BallzDeep666]

Because you’re a Michigan fan that’s why. Since you secretly love Mel Tucker but can’t admit it you did the next best thing and rooted for his old team. 😝jk

[@number1chiefROKKA]

Mannnnn, I swear I was thinking that Trav needs to sit after todays practice - before I heard what Urban said. He is always in the mix, always catching everything, always breaking up catches, he’s never tired, and “appears” to know all his assignments. Yeah man, he only needs to do walk throughs at this point and work out to get more stamina and strength. He’s nice-nice.💯

[@carlosgordan2856]

If I was Coach Prime I would take Coach Urban Meyer advice and not over practice this special player so much.

Ohhh yeah Travis needs to always continue to practice if he wants that Gold Jacket

[@Voice-of-a-VETERAN]

As the saying goes, you train as you fight. If Travis is going to.get hurt, theres nothing in his path thats gonna stop it. We just hope he doesn't get hurt. Travis will not get that no practice treatment when he becomes pro,.so keep that man on the field to maintain and improve what he's already doing. What a lot of people dont understand is, Travis will get every teams A game,.their best players will use every opportunity to get at him because they know everyone is watching so he needs to sharpen his craft and get better.

[@NathanielJemison-ex9lz]

People don’t understand.. he will be playing against players who already ready for the league this not Jackson state talent .. this the big boys way better route running.. he will be tested in this pac 12 all they do is pass the ball

[@Voice-of-a-VETERAN]

@@NathanielJemison-ex9lz yesss i agree with you. Travis is a great player but we're not gonna say he's elite until he proves he's dominant at this level. Dont get me wrong, im not saying he cant do it. I'm just saying he has to do it and do it consistently in grand fashion. In the meantime, hes the best player on his team. Now, we already know he's not afraid of the big lights. He showed that in the Celebration Bowl. Hes gonna be a star as long as he gets stronger, faster and get his technique down. He already has talent. It just needs to honed for the NFL.

[@michaelbell8627]

One of the reasons AD isn't an all-time great is that his body isn't ready for the grind. Travis needs to practice, keep his endurance (which is elite) and put him in a non-contact jersey. He literally has only played a few games.

[@b32acon]

I feel Travis would tighten up and get injured. You see what happened to beau Jackson not going through preseason conditioning. He also needs the stamina. He won't have it if he sits.

[@jayjones2221]

Over under is 3.5. Bet the mortgage on the over while you still can get those numbers.

I saw that interview too. I don’t like Colin Coward and he asked the question “Are they even going to have enough players” He is always talking on things he is clueless about. He also constantly contradicts himself. But Urban Meyer said all positive even though Coward was implying CU won’t win. In my opinion

[@RyanSpeed-fi3cq]

He has been coaching a very long time and a winner. He has coached a lot of elite players and had excellent coaches on his staff. Good coaches can watch players practice and can tell how talented they are. He knows what good coaching is. He can tell a lot by the way the program is being run. He didn’t say they would win every game. He said they were better than he thought and spoke in Sheduer, Travis and coaching.

Colin, intentionally, downplays Colorado. For a guy who always has “sources”, especially in the PAC12 with his buddy, the coach at USC, he is awfully unaware of what is going on in Boulder. And mark my post now, when Colorado is winning, all his doubt is going to turn into: “well, my SOURCES, earlier in the year told me that Colorado was better than what we expected. It was just a matter of time. Deion is doing something right up there.” What a 🤡
