Shedeur Sanders and Colorado had overcome a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter on Saturday against Kansas State.
Deion Sanders’ defense needed to stop the Wildcats to seal a thrilling victory.
It didn’t happen at Folsom Field. Avery Johnson threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to Jayce Brown with 2:14 left and Kansas State left with a 31-28 victory in a Big 12 clash.

What a play call by Kansas State OC Conor Riley.
Incredible HBO by Jayce Brown with the late hands and slowing down to keep himself between the defender and the ball.

Shedeur Sanders was 34-of-49 passing for 388 yards and three touchdowns despite being without wideouts Travis Hunter and Jimmy Horn Jr., who were both injured during the game
Still, the QB threw a TD pass to LaJohntay Wester with 3:12 left to give Colorado the lead after it trailed 24-14 early in the final quarter.
That set up Johnson’s heroics and Colorado suffered its second loss of the season against four wins.

Kansas State is 5-1 after the comeback.
Johnaon was some kind of confident as he took a selfie for a fan while on a stationary bike during the game.
