The best social media reactions from Colorado’s first win of the season
In Colorado’s first game since firing Karl Dorrell, the Buffaloes responded with an energy level previously unseen this season.
Interim defensive coordinator Gerald Chatman led a thriving unit that allowed Cal’s Jayden Ott, one of the Pac-12’s best running backs, only 47 yards. The secondary also excelled with four pass breakups and a Tyrin Taylor interception in the first quarter.
After Cal kicked a field goal with time expiring in regulation, JT Shrout’s touchdown pass to Montana Lemonious-Craig was all the offense CU needed in overtime to beat the Golden Bears, 20-13.
Check out how social media reacted to the Buffs’ first win of the season:

You have to admire the loyalty of Colorado football fans, filling the stadium despite a losing streak and celebrating the first win as if it were a championship.
Easy to imagine Folsom Field becoming an incredibly tough place to play when the Buffs field a great team.

50,000+ fans showed up to support the last remaining winless team in the FBS. Packed the house and got Folsom Field rockin. Huge props to #BuffNation. And especially to Mike Sanford for reclaiming some much-needed dignity around Colorado football. So happy for the Buffs!

Colorado 20, Cal 13 (OT)
Two things, equally true:
– Huge win for the Buffs
– Terrible loss for the Bears— Jon Wilner (@wilnerhotline) October 15, 2022

whether it's long, or short. Mike Sanford had a defense playing like no other. showed great leadership. and got a win in a game where the Buffs didn't over play, make mistakes, or lose on big plays.
What a job well done. #SanfordEra #SkoBuffs #CUFootball

You ALL doubted Mike Sanford Jr. I never did… Congrats to the Buffs. Too good a school to be that embarrassing. #Gophers #Colorado
