BOULDER, Colo. -- On a day when Boulder became the center of the college football world, No. 18 Colorado escaped with a 43-35 double-overtime win against Colorado State to finish nonconference play undefeated.
There were several moments where things almost fell apart for the Buffaloes, only for them to roar back to keep the game alive. "We showed that we were resilient. We showed that we would fight," coach Deion Sanders said. "We showed that we had no surrender or give up in us and that's a lot for a team that's fairly new."
Things were most dire when Colorado State, leading 28-20, punted and pinned the Buffs at their own 2-yard line with two minutes and six seconds to play.
