SUN SPORTS:...Overtime! Colorado Slips Past Instate Rival, 43-35...

 


STAFF REPORT

BOULDER, CO. | Watching a football game at a sports bar generally is said to be a little better than doing it at home on the old, familiar couch. The weird thing last night while catching the Colorado vs. Colorado State thriller at Harvey's on 10th was that closing time was approaching fast there near the end.

But what a game, Maria!

Baby, it don't get no better'n this.

The Buffs took it 43-35 in double overtime just as I was being told my tab was being readied. Shit, I think I said, do it! Where to begin on the wrap-up?

The late scores, touchdown passes by Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders? Well, yes. Those comebacks again and again against a wildly-inspired Colorado State Rams squad? Sure. Sometimes, game statistics get in the way of telling the overall tale of struggle and eventual victory.

In the end, perhaps it was the old homefield advantage. Who knows?

But the U of Colorado earned this one. Three and Oh now.

That's all that matters, isn't it?...
