Shedeur Sanders, Colorado's quarterback, also had a stellar day. Sanders, the son of head coach Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders, threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns, continuing to establish himself as one of the nation’s top quarterbacks. His precision passing and leadership on the field were crucial in keeping Colorado competitive in a game where they entered as 14-point underdogs.

Despite the odds, Colorado’s impressive performance, led by Hunter and Sanders, demonstrated their ability to challenge expectations. Hunter’s interception and Heisman moment were the perfect symbols of Colorado’s fight and ambition in a season where they are determined to defy the doubters.
