Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders would not let his team lose, but it seems like the refs wouldn’t let them lose either.
The Buffs trailed Colorado State by 11 points with under eight minutes to play, but Sanders led the team all the way back to force overtime. And in double-overtime, Colorado was able to prevail 43-35 on Sanders’ touchdown pass to Michael Harrison and a subsequent two-point conversion connection with Xavier Weaver.
A blindside block by Horton negated a rushing score in overtime and moved the Rams back to the 18. Two plays later, CSU’s QB threw a fourth-down pick to Trevor Woods.
