Overview
- Colorado beat No. 14 Houston 42-32 at Folsom Field on Friday, Nov. 14, overcoming a 20-7 deficit to win in front of a raucous home crowd.
- The Buffaloes rushed for 249 yards and five rushing touchdowns with Richard Young gaining 99 yards and two scores to fuel the comeback.
- Randon Fontenette’s strip-sack of Houston quarterback Conner Weigman produced an immediate turnover that Colorado converted into a touchdown and shifted the game’s momentum.
- Coach Deion Sanders praised the team while saying he still expects more, and the victory has reduced short-term talk about his job security though he and the program must still win out to change the bigger narrative.
- The win moved Colorado to 4-6 and kept a path to bowl eligibility intact with games at Cincinnati on Nov. 21 and at UCF remaining, while Houston’s College Football Playoff hopes were likely damaged by the loss.
