Colorado Defeats Utah 49-24 in College Football

Shedeur Sanders rallied after a rough start to throw three touchdown passes, leading No. 18 Colorado to a 49-24 victory over Utah. With this win, the Buffaloes improved to 8-2 and remain in contention for the Big 12 conference title and the College Football Playoff, having won four straight games. Sanders completed 30 of 41 passes for 340 yards and now has 27 touchdown passes this season, just one shy of the school record. LaJohntay Wester also made headlines with a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown. The Utes, on the other hand, suffered their sixth consecutive loss as they struggled offensively, managing only three field goals before a late rally attempt. This game was attended by a record crowd, celebrating the 100th birthday of super-fan Peggy Coppom.
