All-American Hunt doing more than just punt in 2016
Against Minnesota, he converted a fake punt for a 29-yard gain. He received the snap, but instead of punting, threw it across the middle to Braylin Scott. CSU cut the Golden Gophers’ lead to just one score six plays after the fake punt.
“Throwing the ball I felt a lot more comfortable,” Hunt said. “Just because all I have to do is fake the punt and throw the ball. There’s not much to it. It was a 5-yard dump pass. As long as I throw him in stride and make sure nobody’s in the way, it’s a pretty simple play.
Hunt pulled off more fourth down magic two weeks later in the second quarter against Utah State. Instead of throwing the ball, Hunt rushed forward for a 6-yard gain and a first down.
