latracey No. 8 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Love them, or hate them, but Colorado’s come from behind victory last night was one of the most amazing I’ve ever seen. The coin toss going into overtime seemed mismanaged and confusing, but I’m pretty sure Colorado won the toss and decided to take the ball first. They then went for 2 points to help seal the win before they had to. Gutsy stuff, but it worked for them. Colorado State demonstrated how undisciplined play leads to penalties that can cost you a game you should have won. That said, they exposed several Colorado weaknesses that Oregon should be able to take advantage of. As was mentioned last night, losing Travis Hunter is like losing 2 of Colorado’s best players and they are a different team without him. Still, Oregon will need its best game yet to beat them. I believe we are in for a great game next Saturday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic No. 12 Share Posted September 17, 2023 This snippet from the DuckWire article in the Pre-game thread earlier.: "My early lean is toward Oregon in a comfortable victory." It goes on to cite an early -17.5 points for Oregon. The article based this on several things, not the least of which was the possible loss of Travis Hunter. Remember, we just have it on the word of the Master Manipulator himself (Deion) that this is so. The shot Travis took didn't look like a shot to sit him for 2 weeks but even it it was, there are other compelling reasons the Buffs may struggle. Even if the odds go to -21 I hope the Ducks come out of the tunnel thinking it's even-steven or worse. I hope they bring a controlled intensity and maintain it for 4 full quarter regardless of the score. I hope Oregon wins by 3+ touchdowns or higher. I probably won't make any prediction though. I don't have the best feeling for this game given just the 6 game comparison so far. GO DUCKS.! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 19 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I agree with the vast majority here that the Travis Hunter hit was late. It looked intentional and egregious, much more so than some of the 'targeting' calls that are made. An ejection would not have been out of order. Colorado State killed themselves with penalties in what should have been a win. I spent 30+ years as a general and trauma surgeon. Dr. YouTube was pretty accurate in his take on both mechanism of action and potential injuries related to the impact. If the 2-3 week estimate for return is to be believed, the injury is not head (contusion), neck or internal organ (spleen) as those have a much longer recovery. The character of the hit and the way he went down implies torso trauma to me, likely rib fractures and/or an underlying lung contusion, and that fits the timeline better. Best of luck to him for a speedy recovery but I highly doubt Hunter will be available for the Oregon game. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudslide No. 20 Share Posted September 18, 2023 It was certainly an unnecessary hit. The YouTube doc didn't notice the awkward landing of the knee. There looks to be possible tendon damage. Also, having suffered broken ribs and organ damage in a similar fashion, that hit under the pads on the right side appear to be a possible problem for Hunter.

EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 25 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Skip Bayless has reported that Hunter has a 'fractured' liver. Coach Neon saying nothing and no other media reports of this. It is not the kind of information that gets released on college players and if true would have had to have come through some underhanded channel. Given the fact that Hunter was observed overnight in the hospital, whatever the injury was, it was serious enough to keep a close eye on him. So, yeah, a small liver injury would fit that bill, as would rib fractures with a lung contusion. Taking what that blowhard says with a grain of salt, no thinking team doctor would release a player for full contact 3 weeks after a liver injury. Six weeks would be the minimum. While Sanders said Hunter would be out a "few" weeks, that could be as long as six. Hoping for Hunter's sake that he is given adequate healing time. Crappy situation all around and tools like Bayless don't help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating CSU in double-overtime at home cost Colorado and I'm wondering: is this because the game was so close, or because of the loss of Travis Hunter, or both? I'm thinking probably both. But I should also say I think Colorado should never have been in the top 20 in the first place. That had to be (at least partly) wishful thinking. Alabama behind the Ducks?

It's same with any sport, you can only play so much before your body is going to take a blow or simply break down, same thing has occurred for Ohtani, and while he is amazing it's not surprising that he has also broken down over time.

Hunter, who was transported to a local hospital midway through the game, returned to his home Sunday and spoke about the injury. “It’s football at the end of the day,” Hunter said on a live stream. “Stuff like that is going to happen, so I just stay humble. He (Colorado State safety Henry Blackburn) did what he was supposed to do. It’s football. Something bad is going to happen on the field sooner or later. You’ve just gotta get up and fight again. That’s what I try to do, get up and fight. Good thing the doctors stopped me, because if there was no doctors there, I would have still been out there playing. But I’m thankful for everybody that helped me.” I am impressed with the mature comments from Hunter. Read article for more details...
