BOULDER – CU two-time star Travis Hunter was removed from the Buffs’ game against Kansas State on Saturday night and taken to the locker room for evaluation.

Hunter, the Heisman Trophy candidate who leads the Buffs in interceptions, catches and receiving yards, took a hit from K-State safety Daniel Cobb on a 14-yard reception with 8:08 left in the second quarter .

Instead of coming out with the Buffs defense to play cornerback when the Wildcats got the ball back, CU put Colton Hood in Hunter’s spot.

ESPN sideline reporter Quint Kessenich reported during the game that the junior’s right shoulder was being examined.

When asked by a Post reporter at halftime, a university spokesperson said he had no immediate update on the Buffs star’s status.

CU announced early in the third quarter that both Hunter and colleague Jimmy Horn Jr. were “doubtful” to return with undisclosed injuries.

Hunter, who averaged more than 120 snaps per game as a defensive back and wide receiver, has not missed a game this season.

The Georgia native suffered a lacerated liver during the Buffs’ win over CSU in the 2023 Rocky Mountain Showdown and missed three games, returning for a 46-43 home loss to Stanford.

The Buffs trailed K-State 14-7 at halftime.

In a season where unpredictability has become the norm, Week 7 of the 2024 college football season offers a tantalizing quartet of underdog prospects. As the leaves turn and the conference races heat up, four matchups stand out as potential upset specials.

These games feature underdogs with a bite to match their bark, all ready to defy the odds and further cloud the college football landscape. From Sun Belt showdowns to a Big Ten battle, these battles offer a compelling story of resilience, tactical acumen, and the ever-present potential for David to topple Goliath. As we dig deeper into the analysis, it becomes clear that in college football, the “underdog” label is often just that: a label waiting to be torn off by teams hungry to prove their chops on the national stage.

Old Dominion Monarchs (ML Even) at Georgia State Panthers

Old Dominion has faced a slew of opponents throughout the first half of the season. With the 36th toughest schedule in the country, the Monarchs have faced several tough matchups, including a strong South Carolina Gamecocks defense and a 4-1 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers team. Despite the tough schedule and 1-4 record, three of Old Dominion’s losses were by eight points or fewer.

It should be a no-brainer to see Georgia State as a 1.5-point underdog. The Panthers’ defense ranks 113th in defensive success rate and 103rd in EPA per rush. These weaknesses align well with Old Dominion’s offensive strengths, especially the run game with Aaron Young and Bryce Duke. The Panthers’ poor defense could lead to difficulty getting off the field on third downs, an area where they already struggle (116th in third down conversions allowed).

Georgia State will be the least challenging defense Old Dominion has faced this season. While the stats may not seem impressive for the Monarchs, their strong schedule has prepared them well for this matchup. I back the underdog to win outright on the moneyline.

Coastal Carolina Chanticleers +10 at James Madison Dukes

In a Sun Belt showdown between two 4-1 teams, I’m backing the Chanticleers as 10-point underdogs despite their unfavorable history in this game. Coastal Carolina has been outscored 103-21 by James Madison the past two years, which likely explains the wide spread between these competitive teams.

This pick is as much a blur for James Madison as it is for Coastal. The Dukes suffer a loss to UL Monroe. Despite outgaining ULM 399-257 in all-out offense, the Dukes reached the end zone just twice and struggled on fourth downs, converting just 1 of 5 attempts. More concerning are James Madison quarterback Alonza Barnett III’s performance under pressure; he went 0-for-9 when pressured, compared to 20-for-38 with a clean pocket. Barnett is now 3-for-19 and is spending the season under pressure. Notably, Monroe’s pass rush ranks 109th in the nation according to PFF. The Chanticleers are facing more pressures, sacks and quarterback hits than ULM this season, suggesting they could exploit this weakness.

Offensively, Coastal Carolina has shown the ability to score points. The Chanticleers have averaged 38 points this season with a balanced attack: 241 passing yards and 197 rushing yards per game. Coastal Carolina could challenge James Madison’s defense as the Chanticleers have been very efficient in the red zone and rank 27th in touchdowns scored. This efficiency could help them maximize scoring opportunities in Week 7 and keep pace with James Madison.

While the Dukes are favored, the Chanticleers have the potential to keep the game within the 10-point spread, especially if they can leverage their offensive strengths and apply quarterback pressure.

Colorado Buffaloes +4.5 vs. 18. Kansas State Wildcats

Colorado +5.5 was my first bet of the week, but now that the line is at +4.5, it is no longer my favorite play. Nevertheless, Colorado’s offensive firepower in Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy candidate Travis Hunter, along with the team’s defensive playmaking ability, remain compelling factors.

An under-the-radar force that could propel Colorado past Kansas State is third-down efficiency on both sides of the ball. The Buffaloes converted 44.62% of their third downs on offense and held their opponents to just 34.67%. The Wildcats, on the other hand, convert 38.7% and allow a conversion rate of 35.7%.

This disparity in efficiency, often overlooked in key metrics, could be critical to Colorado’s ability to dictate the pace of the game and potentially upset Kansas State. It showcases both attacking execution and defensive prowess in critical situations, and could potentially prove to be the deciding factor in what promises to be a closely contested encounter.

Best Bet of Week 7: Washington Huskies (+3, +120 ML) at Iowa Hawkeyes

Iowa is 4-1 this season, partly due to an improved offense, but also because of a slumped defense. In 2023, Iowa’s defense was elite, ranking first with the fewest yards allowed per play at 3.9. Midway through 2024, Iowa has fallen to 59th, giving up 5.5 yards per play and struggling to prevent explosive plays.

In just four FBS games, Iowa has already given up more plays of 50+ yards (four) than in all 14 games of the 2023 season (two), three of which came against non-conference opponents Iowa State and Troy. That surpasses the total of Iowa’s combined non-conference rosters for 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Iowa safety Quinn Schulte attributed these big plays to “poor communication on the back end and poor technique and fundamentals.” But it’s clear the loss of All-American defenseman Cooper DeJean, a 2024 second-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles, has also affected his performance.

Washington will look to capitalize on Iowa’s defensive regression as the Huskies rank fifth in the FBS with 111 plays of 10 yards or longer through six games, according to ESPN Research. Washington also has 32 plays of 20 yards or longer, ranking 17th in FBS. Their offense has remained potent despite the 2023 season overhaul.

Fifth-year quarterback Will Rogers leads Washington’s offense with his accuracy on short-to-intermediate passes (71.65%) and a quick release. Under Jedd Fisch’s system, Rogers has thrown for 1,625 yards and 12 touchdowns. Wide receiver Denzel Boston leads the Big Ten and is second in FBS with eight touchdown receptions.

The Huskies also have an explosive running game led by Jonah Coleman. At 6-foot-4 and 229 pounds, Coleman is tough to tackle. He leads FBS with 24 rushes of more than 10 yards, four more than early Heisman Trophy favorite Ashton Jeanty.

Although Iowa is known for its strong defense and home field advantage, the Huskies’ balanced and explosive offense gives them a chance to beat the Hawkeyes. I recommend taking both the points and money lines as this seems to be a scenario where the wrong team is favored.

There are few musical theater posters more iconic than the original 2008 West End design for Wicked. The famous ‘whisper’ design is instantly recognizable, and many wondered when the 2024 film would finally tip its pointy hat to the original. Well, it’s finally here, but the lackluster effort didn’t exactly enchant the fans.

With Arianna Grande’s Glinda whispering in the ear of the green Elphaba, played by Cynthio Erivo. But from the obvious Photoshopping to the lack of a lipstick grin, the design is being roasted online. One of the best print ads, it isn’t.

In a world of movie posters with floating heads, we’re used to characters not looking like they’re in the same room. But this one has a particularly creepy copy-and-paste effect thanks to the over-produced lighting. And Elphaba, without her red grin, just looks a little bored.

See you soon!

( Cheers and applause continue ) ( Cheers and applause continue ) I think that the role of an artist is to feel, and I feel so lucky to get to do this with my life.

My job does feel like being brave and jumping off a cliff into feeling in a full-bodied way, and that doesn’t always feel super comfortable.

But…But it’s honest.

So, I think that performing… it’s not that it’s my duty to make people happy, because happiness is a complicated emotion.

I think that it is about inviting people to feel, and… when I’m onstage, I’m certainly feeling.

( Chuckles ) Like, that — that — that is for sure.

I don’t know.

And I hope that that performance is also something that can remind people that they have more in common than they might think.

That, like, no matter what the difference is between people, everybody knows what it’s like to feel sad or what it’s like to feel happy or to feel disappointed or excited, and I think that those are the moments in a performance that… that… change something.

It’s so nice to get off stage every night and get to… sit down and think about why a show is so special.

Because with music, the second you realize something special is happening… it’s already slipping through your fingers, because it’s just a moment and it can’t be preserved.

And that, to me, is like… the best part about it.

So the questions that I’m asking are like, what makes that moment where everything’s connected and I can look over at my guitar player and we’re thinking the same thing, we both land the same move at the same time, or I can look out into the audience and see that… everybody is moving on the same wave?

Because it’s not always like that at the beginning of the show, but by the end, you can know if everybody’s hit the same current at the same time.

When I’m singing, there is vibration going through my entire body for, like, two hours during a set.

Like, it changes what is happening to my body on a, like, cellular, molecular level.

Like, I never come out of a tour the same way I went in.

And, in a way, I come out feeling like… clean.

It’s like I took the biggest, best bath, because when your whole body is shaking and resonating for two hours for a month long or whatever, how long a tour is… anything that’s ready to shake loose kind of naturally shakes loose, and that, to me, is a gift that is given by the crowd and by the band on stage, and…

I don’t know.

I just — I love doing this more than anything, and I feel… so lucky every time I get to step on that stage.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I love you guys!

I’ll see you soon.

Okay?

Love you!

( Cheers and applause ) My experience with — with this album was that the feelings were so big that it kind of required a louder voice.

Um, I felt… like I couldn’t stay contained and isolated about the feelings, I guess.

I also — It was my first year living with my best friend roommate and co-writer on lots of the songs, Audrey Hobert, and she knows me very well, so I would come downstairs in the morning with something very obviously on my mind and she would kind of be like, “You,” and, like, “What are you thinking about?”

And it led to lots of conversation, laughter, through tougher feelings.

But all of those made their way into the album, and, yeah, very different from “Good Riddance.”

The writing process was very different.

Well, I was really scared of it, the concept of performing.

And I remember signing my record deal and feeling nauseous because I knew that it meant that if I was lucky one day that I would be able to play a show.

But I was — It was my biggest fear, for sure.

Like, um, the concept of playing music to another human being face to face, I had really avoided it forever and felt much more comfortable singing quietly in my room.

Um… and I was proved very wrong.

It’s — It’s not scary now.

It feels just like a real gift to be able to share in a community that cares about being openly vulnerable, like, next to each other.

It’s really rad.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo attempted to recreate the iconic 2003 poster for the original theatrical production of Wicked in San Francisco for Jon M. Chu’s upcoming big screen adaptation, frustrating fans of the Broadway musical.

In it, the 31-year-old Florida-born pop star wore a crown instead of a white hood, while the British-Nigerian 37-year-old showed her eyes and didn’t grin with red lipstick.

“

“The subtle grin is the most iconic part of the poster, why does she just go away (no emoji expression)?” X user @Sweeney_Daily wondered.

X user @strstyler tweeted: ‘Would it have been too hard to give her red lipstick, pull down the hat over her eyes and make her grin a little? She just looks like (a straight face meme).”

X user @picsart Photoshopte his own version of the Wicked poster, with the caption: “The problem has been solved, I hope this helps!”

Ariana proudly installed the new poster and said: ‘I love you @cynthiaerivo and I can’t wait for the world to experience your pure, utter beauty in this… just saying.’ I love you, here we go!’

Cynthia – who is an Oscar away from EGOT status – then replied via Instastory: ‘@arianagrande what a moment in time. What a miracle we can experience together! I can’t wait for people to be blown away by you and your total love and care for Glinda (and really Elphie). The time is now. I got you. I love you.’

Grande (née Butera) and Erivo star as Shiz University and housemates Glinda Upland and Elphaba Thropp in Wicked, and tickets for the first installment officially went on sale Wednesday ahead of its Nov. 27 release date.

The two-time Grammy winner infamously met her married boyfriend Ethan Slater – who plays munchkin tin man Boq – on the London set of Wicked, which doesn’t release its second installment until November 26, 2025.

Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James, Keala Settle and Peter Dinklage also star in the highly anticipated two-part fantasy film.

Fans can also pre-order Wicked: The Soundtrack, featuring all 11 songs from act 1, ahead of its official release on November 22.

On Wednesday, NBC released a promo for Ariana’s second time as host of Saturday Night Live, in which she warned the staff, “I would really rather not do anything that has to do with Wicked or Wizard of Oz.”

The camera then cut to SNL’s Devon Walker, Michael Longfellow, Marcello Hernández, and Andrew Dismukes, dressed in cheesy costumes of the Lion, Dorothy Gale, Scarecrow, and Tin Man.

“Can we come back in an hour?” asked Dismukes.

Grande replied, “Sure.”

Two-time Grammy winner Stevie Nicks – who last performed musical guest duties in 1983 – returns to 30 Rock to perform her new single, The Lighthouse.

The human head and hands discovered in January in the freezer of a Colorado home have been identified as belonging to a 16-year-old girl who had been missing for nearly two decades, according to local authorities.

Amanda Overstreet was identified as the victim through DNA testing, according to a Friday news release from the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office. The teen’s head and hands were found on January 12 in the freezer of a recently sold home in Grand Junction, Colorado.

The remains were discovered by someone who came to the home for free to pick up the freezer, the sheriff’s office said.

Overstreet, believed to be “approximately 16 years old at the time of her disappearance,” had “not been seen or heard from since April 2005,” the sheriff’s office said. She was the daughter of the house’s previous owner.

There is no evidence that Overstreet was ever reported missing, and the “circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain under investigation,” the sheriff’s office said.

CNN has reached out to the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office for more information about Overstreet’s disappearance.

Authorities previously said they believed the discovery was an “isolated incident” and that there was no ongoing threat to the community.

The sheriff’s office has not released whether a cause of death has been determined.

According to CNN affiliate KJCT, a neighbor recalled seeing Overstreet walking to school before her disappearance.

“The last time we saw the little girl was when she was on her way to school,” Jameson Perez said.

“We were all guessing who it was,” he said of the discovered remains. “We started thinking, ‘Could it have been that little girl that was there?'”

Leanna Lenee won’t settle for anything less than the best for her unique wedding! Just a month ago, the gorgeous faincée of Colorado star Travis Hunter went wedding dress shopping, only to be disappointed at the end of her tour. But now it seems she has found the perfect person and brand to make her dreams come true.

On her new Instagram story on October 11, Leanna Lenee uploaded a post in which she took a mirror selfie with Justin Alexander Warshaw, the creator of the designer brand Justin Alexander. She tagged both Warshaw and the brand and captioned it: “We just designed TWO of my dream wedding dresses. I’m so excited to see them come to life.”

Justin Warshaw is a renowned designer who specializes in bridal fashion by embracing the uniqueness and differences of his clients. One of the biggest projects of his brand is the 2022 “Be yourself!campaign that not only highlighted its creative designs but also captured the hearts of brides-to-be with its diverse collection for different body types, skin tones, personalities and more.

Leanna and Travis Hunter got engaged back in February, but the date of their wedding was first revealed by Leanna in a cryptic post. On July 21, she posted a photo of her and her fiancé on her IG with the caption, ““Therefore what God has joined together, let no one put asunder” – Mark 10:9 🤍 #308 days.Well, this post also hinted that the couple will officially tie the knot at the end of May next year. In any case, their wedding will be an elaborate one, and it is even picked out who the important people at their wedding will be. This unity makes them a truly loving and respectable couple. Even when the season is in full swing for Travis Hunter, he still finds time to have fun with his beloved fiancée.

The adorable love of Leanna Lenee and Travis Hunter

Travis Hunter turned in spectacular plays in five games this season, recording 46 receptions for 561 yards and six touchdowns. But he doesn’t just win in football. In a previous TikTok video, he and Leanna took part in a fun couples quiz, which revealed a surprising yet signature emotion from the resilient two-way star. Hunter checked all the boxes for the ideal boyfriend: he was quick to apologize, always had a funny joke, and was incredibly patient. But he is still the “biggest child‘ when he gets sick.

Men don’t like to admit it, but a good woman by their side stimulates their soft side. And yes, Leanna has proven herself to be a great partner for Travis Hunter, from sticking by his side through his injury last season to attending Buffs games as Hunter’s biggest cheerleader this season, even prompting a Heisman Trophy Conflict. Hopefully they remain an inspiring couple as they count down the days to their big day next May.
