WHAT HAPPENED: No. 18 Colorado completed an 11-point comeback in an epic Rocky Mountain Showdown that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Coach Deion Sanders won by a final score of 43-35 in double overtime as walk-on tight end Michael Harrison came up clutch with a pair of touchdowns after regulation.

FOR THE BUFFS: The game was bookended by heroics by the Sanders brothers. Shilo Sanders’ pick-6 opened the scoring and Shedeur Sanders came alive late to lead the Buffs to the win. Colorado still has major problems to address on both sides of the ball and a wake-up call could be coming next week against Oregon, but for now, the Buffs remain unbeaten.

FOR THE RAMS: CSU couldn’t have asked for much more from this group. Fowler-Nicolosi was excellent in just his second career start and he did exactly what the Rams coaching staff wanted him to do — get the ball to the talented skill players. Wide receivers Tory Horton and Louis Brown, as well as tight end Dallin Holker, all had over 100 yards receiving in the game and they caused problems for the CU defense right up until the end of the game.

UP NEXT: CU hits the road to begin Pac-12 play as the Buffs will face Oregon at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday on ABC. CSU is also on the road next week, facing Middle Tennessee State at 5 p.m. on Saturday on ESPN+.
