Hunter's Shoulder Injury: Colorado's Loss to Kansas State
The Colorado Buffaloes' hopes for a successful season took a major hit on Saturday, as star quarterback Hunter Plummer left the game against Kansas State in the first half with a shoulder injury. The injury happened on a hard hit by a Wildcats defender, sending a shiver down the spines of Colorado fans everywhere.
The severity of the injury is still being evaluated, but the initial diagnosis is a separated shoulder. This injury could sideline Plummer for a significant amount of time, leaving the Buffaloes with a huge hole in their offense.
Plummer has been a key component of Colorado's offensive success. He leads the team in passing yards and touchdowns, and his ability to extend plays with his legs has been crucial for the Buffaloes.
The loss to Kansas State, which ended 31-24, was a tough one for Colorado. The team fought hard but ultimately couldn't overcome the loss of their star quarterback and a strong Wildcats defense. This loss leaves Colorado with a 1-3 record, and the future of their season now hangs in the balance.
The Buffaloes' next game is against USC, a tough opponent even without the injury concerns. The team's offensive coordinator will need to find a way to adjust without their key quarterback, relying on other players to step up and fill the void.
The injury to Hunter Plummer is a major blow for Colorado. The severity and timeline of the injury remain unclear, but it's undoubtedly a setback for a team already facing an uphill battle. The Buffaloes will need to dig deep and find a way to rally around their backup quarterback, if they want to salvage their season.
