There's never a dull moment at Colorado when Deion Sanders is the head coach.

The Buffaloes, despite coming in as three-touchdown favorites, trailed for nearly the entire game until Shedeur Sanders led Colorado on a game-tying 98-yard drive in the final two minutes.

The teams traded touchdowns in the first overtime and then Shedeur Sanders hit Michael Harrison for another score (plus the required two-point play) to put the Buffs in front. CSU couldn't answer, and
