Travis Hunter made it reign. “Shedeur (Sanders) told me to go out there and get the ball,” CU’s two-way, all-world miracle worker said of the rain-soaked fumble he forced to clinch a wet, wild 38-31 Buffs overtime win over Baylor.

Shedeur Sanders completed a 43-yard Hail Mary touchdown as time expired and Travis Hunter forced the game-sealing fumble in OT to help Colorado beat Baylor.

Initial observations from Colorado’s 38-31 overtime win/loss against Baylor in the Buffs’ return to Big 12 play at Folsom Field.

Saturday's game between Colorado and Baylor was the start of a new era for the Buffs, but also a return to their old home.

Deion Sanders probably envisioned his first game in the Big 12 going a little differently On a chilly, rainy and frustrating night in Boulder, Colorado needed overtime to get a win in its first game back in the conference as the Buffaloes will take the 38-31 victory and run after struggling on both sides of the ball for the majority of the night.

Injury-wise, safety Shilo Sanders (forearm) and running back Dallan Hayden (high ankle sprain) are both out for Colorado's Big 12 Conference opener against Baylor, meaning Carter Stoutmire and Isaiah Augustave are expected to assume larger roles.
