Colorado Buffaloes Beat Baylor in Overtime

The Colorado Buffaloes secured a dramatic 38-31 overtime victory over the Baylor Bears, highlighted by Shedeur Sanders' 43-yard Hail Mary pass to LaJohntay Wester as time expired in regulation. In overtime, Micah Welch's touchdown run gave Colorado its first lead since the opening quarter, while Travis Hunter's forced fumble at the goal line sealed the win. This game marked Colorado's return to the Big 12 after 14 years in the Pac-12 and was reminiscent of the famous 'Miracle at Michigan' play from 1994. Despite a strong performance from Baylor, including a 100-yard kickoff return by Jamaal Bell and a 45-yard touchdown run by Sawyer Robertson, they fell short after a missed field goal attempt. The Buffaloes' resilience and big plays ultimately led to their victory, with Sanders finishing with 341 passing yards and Hunter contributing significantly with 130 receiving yards. The thrilling finish prompted fans to rush the field and celebrate the unexpected comeback.
