And in double-overtime, Colorado was able to prevail 43-35 on Sanders' touchdown pass to Michael Harrison and a subsequent two-point conversion connection with Xavier Weaver.Colorado State pinned the Buffs at their own 2-yard line with 2:06 to play, but Sanders and his offense were able to embark on a miraculous drive to keep the game alive.
Sanders led the Buffs 98 yards in just seven plays, connecting with Jimmy Horn for a thrilling 45-yard touchdown with just 36 seconds left in regulation. But the Buffs still needed a two-point conversion to tie it. No problem. Sanders dropped back and connected with Harrison, his tight end, to tie the score and ultimately send the game to overtime.
Once the game reached the extra session, the Buffs were able to complete the comeback and stay undefeated. The teams traded touchdowns in the first overtime before Sanders connected with Harrison again to put the Buffs ahead in double-overtime. Sanders then made an incredible play to fight through the CSU rush to find Xavier Weaver for the two-point conversion.
