30Duck Moderator No. 9 Share Posted December 9 Yes, and Travis Hunter sits at home with the rest of the Buffs waiting to play in some Bowl game in the middle of December.

Haywarduck No. 13 Share Posted December 10 Some pretty solid candidates this year. In other years Gabriel may have won, but what matters is his focus on winning the objective trophy at the end of the season. The subjective trophies can always be argued as non deserving. The big one at the end, can never be questioned. Just glad Gabriel is still in the hunt for the big one, all that matters! We already have a Heisman in the trophy case anyways. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
