See the ending of Colorado's walk-off win as Deion Sanders praising team's ability to overcome "starting out like hot-garbage"

Travis Hunter was in an Boulder, Colorado-area hospital, and the Colorado Buffaloes were in danger of being in an insurmountable hole.

The Buffaloes had not led since Shilo Sanders' pick-six interception started the game's scoring in the first quarter, and they trailed 23-point underdog and rival Colorado State by double-digits deep into the fourth quarter.

But quarterback Shedeur Sanders engineered a 98-yard scoring drive capped by a touchdown and two-point conversion that forced overtime, and Deion Sanders's Buffaloes prevailed 43-35 in double-overtime.

The win capped a day in which ESPN's "College GameDay" set up live on the Colorado campus for the first time in several years and was punctuated after midnight Mountain Standard Time after Trevor Woods intercepted the Rams' desperation heave into the end zone on the final play of the second overtime. 

"I'm proud of my kids, but I'm proud of this team," said Coach Prime, who guided first Jackson State and now Colorado to back-to-back 3-0 starts in the past two seasons. "It's phenomenal. This coaching staff is phenomenal. We were resilient. 

"We started off like hot-garbage, but we got it right and we got the victory in the end."

With Hunter out since halftime and the Buffaloes' ground game stymied, Shedeur Sanders went to work late in the game and in the two overtime sessions to keep Colorado undefeated ahead of next week's Pac-12 showdown at undefeated Oregon.

He finished 38-for-47 for 348 yards, four touchdowns and just one first-half interception on a tipped pass.

Though Deion Sanders and Colorado State coach Jay Norvell shared a warm embrace on the field at game's end, Shedeur Sanders donned gold-mirrored sunglasses and once again sent a postgame message.

"We talked as a team, and said we're not going out like that," Shedeur Sanders said.

"Especially with somebody disrespecting pops. i was just waiting the whole time to put a watch on 'em."

Shedeur Sanders has made a gesture simulating pointing to his watch in Colorado's wins this season -- oftentimes appearing to indicate time's up for the opposition.

He said the Rams left his Colorado far too much time near the end of regulation -- when the Buffaloes took over at their two-yard line and needed both a touchdown and two-point conversion with just two minutes, six seconds left on the game clock.

"Brady-mode," Shedeur Sanders said. "Left too much time on the clock.

"We talk after every game. I'm sure he (Tom Brady) will be texting me real soon."
