Colorado wanted a miracle in an effort to prolong Saturday’s Massive 12 opener in opposition to Baylor. They bought precisely that.
With the Buffaloes trailing 31-24 with two seconds left, quarterback Shedeur Sanders heaved a prayer towards the tip zone, which was caught by LaJohntay Wester.
The sport-tying further level was knocked by way of the uprights by Alejandro Mata, sending the competition into additional time.
Colorado struck first within the additional time interval, with Micah Welch punching it in from one yard out to present Colorado a 38-31 lead.
Colorado’s protection apparently needed their second within the solar, nonetheless, as Travis Hunter compelled a fumble on Dominic Richardson that rolled into and out of the tip zone, apparently giving the Buffs the victory.
After a untimely field-storming by the Colorado scholar part, the decision on the sector of a fumble was confirmed, giving Deion Sanders maybe his largest win as coach of the Buffaloes.
Colorado stormed again from a 24-10 deficit within the second quarter, getting the sport inside a rating at halftime. The 2 groups traded blows within the second half, with a missed discipline aim by the Bears cracking the window simply sufficient for Colorado to transform on the miraculous landing.
The win strikes Colorado’s report to 3-1 and drops Baylor’s to 2-2.
