Especially on offense, the Colorado Buffaloes produced a flurry of highlight-reel plays throughout their 31-26 season-opener victory against North Dakota State on Thursday.

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders and cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter were special (as expected), but fellow WR Jimmy Horn Jr. produced arguably the most impressive performance of the evening. The former South Florida transfer produced a career-high 198 receiving yards, including a 69-yard touchdown late in the first quarter.

Now 1-0, the Buffs will begin preparation for their Week 2 matchup against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
