In this story:

Travis Hunter holds no animosity towards Herny Blackburn after the dirty hit that currently has him sidelined with a lacerated liver.

Colorado's two-way star met up with the Colorado State defense back on Wednesday night. It's the first time they've been face-to-face since the incident. The moment was captured by CSU defense lineman James Mitchell. Blackburn reportedly apologized to Hunter and cleared the air between the two

Hunter will be out of the Buffaloes lineup a few more weeks. He started the week by sending a message to Deion Sanders, asking him to be in the plans for USC. Coach Prime respectfully declined and told his top player to rest because his future was more important.

Colorado took a 42-6 loss against No. 10 Oregon last week. They face another ranked opponent without Hunter this week. The 8th-ranked USC Trojans roll into Boulder for a Big Noon Kickoff special on FOX.
