Overview

• Colorado coach Deion Sanders kept his starters in the game during the final minutes, aiming to score rather than take a knee.
• Quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Deion's son, was exposed to potential injury after taking a hit from a Colorado State lineman in the closing moments.
• Sanders justified his decision by pointing to trash talk and alleged unsportsmanlike conduct from Colorado State players leading up to and during the game.
• Travis Hunter, a standout two-way player, had another impressive performance but admitted to feeling fatigued late in the game.
• The Buffaloes' offensive line showed significant improvement, allowing only one sack compared to six in their previous game against Nebraska.
