Key Highlights


The Buffaloes showcased their strength early on, overcoming an initial deficit after the first quarter where they trailed by 13 points. However, they quickly turned the tables in the second quarter with ten unanswered points and continued their dominance throughout the rest of the game. The third quarter was particularly impressive for Colorado as they racked up 21 points against Texas Tech's seven, demonstrating their offensive capabilities and defensive resilience.


Shedeur Sanders played a pivotal role in this turnaround with his exceptional performance as quarterback. Sanders completed an impressive 70 percent of his passes for a total of 291 yards and three touchdowns without throwing any interceptions. His average yards per attempt stood at seven, highlighting his efficiency and ability to make significant plays when it mattered most.


On defense, BJ Green II and Arden Walker were standout performers for Colorado. Green II recorded two sacks and two quarterback hits alongside one forced fumble that contributed significantly to stifling Texas Tech's offense. Similarly, Walker made his presence felt with two sacks and six tackles that disrupted many plays by Texas Tech.


Special Teams Impact


Special teams also played a crucial role in this victory for Colorado. Alejandro Mata was perfect on field goals, contributing six points from two attempts with his longest being from 33 yards out. Mark Vassett’s punting was instrumental in controlling field position throughout the game; he punted eight times for an average net yardage of over thirty-six yards per punt.
