'He's a real-life ironman': Dissecting Travis Hunter's two-way heroics for Colorado team in title contention
Hunter's exploits as a two-way, Heisman Trophy-chasing ironman who seldom leaves the field have reached historic and once-unimagined levels. On Saturday, Hunter participated in a school-record 161 plays.
While doing so, he led the Buffaloes in catches (nine) and receiving yards (99) while scoring a touchdown. On defense, he played 85 of 87 snaps, was targeted once in 46 passing plays and gave up one reception for 5 yards. Never mind football players -- how often do humans like this come along? "Probably once in a lifetime," said Eric McCarty, Colorado's director of sports medicine.

COVID-19 deaths in Italy heartbreaking for former CU Buffs
Fausto Marinoni is unknown to football fans in the United States, but former University of Colorado safety Steve Beck always had confidence in him to get the job done. “If you ever wanted a clutch kicker in the fourth quarter, that’s who you wanted out there,” Beck said. “He looked like a nose guard, but he could kick the crap out of the ball.” For 10 years, from 1987-97, Beck was a star running back and played with Marinoni as members of the Bergamo Lions, an American football team in Bergamo, Italy. The main sponsor – or owner – of the team was Italo Pilenga.
