Colorado came out firing early in the highly-amplified match-up with 17th-ranked TCU. All the pregame hype with Deion Sanders and best believe he showed off his Louis luggage in Fort Worth.

Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders played outstanding in the early going. He went 22-of-28 for 182 yards and a touchdown. It came off the Buffaloes' 13-play, 73-yard opening drive with a 4-yard pass to Dylan Edwards, giving CU a 7-0 lead with 8:58 left in the first quarter.

TCU marched down the field before a Trevor Woods interception in the end zone. The Frogs first turnover with 6:22 to go in the first. 

The Buffs took over at their own 20 and drove down the field before the Frogs blocked a 49-yard FG attempt by Jace Feely.

Chandler Morris took TCU down the field on a 7-play, 52-yard drive, resulting in a 7-yard TD run from Trey Sanders to tie the game.

Colorado responded with a long drive of their own. A 10-play, 73-yard drive with Sy'veon Wilkerson running for a 2-yard touchdown to retake the lead at 14-7.

The teams traded possessions before Colorado got the ball back. Edwards fumbled with TCU taking over at the Buffs 23-yard line. TCU's Trey Sanders took in a 4-yard run four plays later to tie the game again at 14 all.

Jace Feely nails a 49-yard field goal as time expires. Colorado takes a 17-14 lead at Halftime.
