College Football World Reacts to Colorado’s Furious Rally, Win Over Colorado State
The story just keeps getting better for the Colorado football team.
The Buffaloes improved to 3-0 under coach Deion Sanders after rallying from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to thwart upset-minded Colorado State, 43-35, in double overtime late Saturday night in Boulder.
It was a chippy game befitting a bitter intrastate rivalry, having taken on added intensity after Rams coach Jay Norvell took a verbal jab at Sanders earlier in the week about his sunglasses. Indeed, tempers simmered in a pregame dust-up between the teams at midfield. Buffaloes two-way star Travis Hunter was knocked out of the game after taking a brutal late hit.
Ultimately, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders engineered a 98-yard drive and subsequent two-point conversion to send the game to overtime. The younger Sanders then connected with tight end Michael Harrison on touchdown passes in both extra periods as the Buffaloes outlasted the underdog Rams.
The college football world was apoplectic in the aftermath of the game early Sunday morning. Here’s a sampling of the best reactions from social media.
