Shoulder Injury Sidelines Colorado's Hunter in K-State Loss
Colorado's hopes of a strong start to the season took a hit on Saturday, as star quarterback JT Hunter was sidelined with a shoulder injury in the Buffaloes' 24-10 loss to Kansas State. The injury, which occurred in the first half, cast a shadow over what was a promising offensive performance for Colorado.
**The Buffaloes were leading 10-7 at the time of Hunter's injury, but the offense stalled significantly in his absence. ** Backup quarterback, Ryan O'Connell, struggled to find his rhythm, throwing for just 75 yards and a touchdown.
**Coach Mike MacIntyre expressed concern for Hunter after the game, but offered no definitive timeline for his return. ** "We'll see how he is," said MacIntyre. "It's a shoulder injury, and we need to assess it further before we know the severity."
**The loss to Kansas State was a tough pill to swallow for Colorado. ** The Buffaloes had high expectations entering the season, and this injury to their star quarterback only adds to the challenges ahead.
**The extent of Hunter's injury and his potential return date remain unclear. ** This situation will be closely monitored as it unfolds, as the Buffaloes' season hinges on Hunter's health.
