‘It was special for us:’ Buffs overcome deficit to beat Nebraska 34-31 in overtime

The University of Colorado football team, after facing a 17-0 halftime deficit to No. 25 University of Nebraska, fought back to win 34-31 in overtime — tying as the fourth-largest comeback in CU history on Saturday.

It marked the first time since 2009 that Colorado faced the Cornhuskers on their own turf. After the Buffs claimed an away victory in Lincoln last year, the guys in red were back for revenge. Though Nebraska presented a worthy challenge, CU turned the tables in the second quarter, securing their second win of the season.
