I'm expecting both teams to go over 40 tonight.

21 to 14 at the end of 3rd.

Buffs inside the Rams 5 yard line, looking to punch it in and tie this game up.

 

Sidenote: My earlier prediction was way off about both teams hitting 40 points. ?

See, told you they'd both score 40 (almost).

Nice win!

State outplayed Colorado all night, until the last 3 minutes of regulation and then in overtime. 

I said out loud when Colorado State had 2nd down inside the 10 that here comes a penalty. They score a TD and there was the flag. Put them goal to go around the 20 and that was it.

Entertaining as the later part of the fourth quarter happened and of course with the overtime’s. They definitely have to play better against Oregon to win or have a chance of winning. 

I NEVER will understand teams that the are the underdog that do not go for 2 when they have the ball second in OT and score a TD.  Colorado State had the chance to end the game on their terms.  When you are the inferior team you don't extend the game!

I also thought they should've gone for it on 4th & 2 late.  You are 6 feet away from winning and again, you get to set the terms for that.  It would've given Colorado decent field position but I still would've done it because worst case, Colorado scores and you have time to mount a drive to get in FG position and win.

Just didn't get CSU's coaching decisions under 3 minutes at all.

Colorado State lost in my opinion solely because they sat back on Defense and didn't apply pressure to Sanders on that 98 yard drive. He had 10 yard completions open on every snap. They had held him in check with pressure all night. I guess his scrambling on the previous drive may have scared them, but they had pretty much shut them down for 3 quarters then changed defensive philosophy at the end. Just my opinion. 

PRIME!!!!!

Shedeur is him. Dude throws a SEXY ball almost every time.

I agree. Colorado State had been effective up to that point defensively and I don’t understand why they changed it up.

You see it every week all across football.

As the old addage goes, "Prevent defense just prevents you from winning."  I get the fear of losing on a big play but that's what happened anyway!

I would like to see more consistency, but when he's playing his best, I'm not sure anyone else is better.  Very fun to watch. 

I saw today that Travis Hunter may be out 3 or 4 weeks. The report said he sustained a lacerated liver on the cheap hit by DB Henry Blackburn.

First, I want to say that what Deion has done in Colorado has been amazing and probably the biggest and best story in college football. I have yet to see anything that Deion has done that he has not been successful at. However, let's be real even if Hunter was healthy surely no one thinks they would be Oregon in Oregon or USC at home they were lucky to win vs. Colorado State on Saturday.

Yep; coaches out-smarting themselves.
