Colorado still loves prime time (no pun intended), even in the Big 12.

The Buffaloes pulled off an incredible win after a wild sequence of events against Baylor, coming away with a 38-31 overtime victory in their first Big 12 matchup since 2010.

After Baylor missed a 45-yard field goal to go up two possessions, Colorado had one more chance with 2:19 left, and they pulled out a miracle.

In the closing seconds, Shedeur Sanders found a wide-open Will Sheppard inside the five-yard line, but it was dropped – however, on the next play (the final of regulation), Sanders, rolling out to his left, again went for the end zone, and this one was caught by LaJohntay Webster as time expired – the ensuing PAT was good, forcing the game into overtime.

Baylor won the overtime coin toss and opted to play defense. It didn’t matter much to Colorado, though, as Micah Welch scored from a yard out on the Buffs’ seventh play of the drive to go up, 38-31.

Baylor got to the two-yard line thanks to thunderous running, but two-way superstar Travis Hunter forced a Dominic Richardson fumble right at the goal line – the ball went through the back of the end zone, resulting in a game-ending touchback. 

Colorado fans rushed the field while the play was under review, but they ultimately did not become the next "band on the field."
