Recap: Colorado, Alejandro Mata deliver in the clutch to down Arizona State

A fourth quarter full of clutch moments helped Colorado beat Arizona State

It wasn’t exactly the smoothest of games, but that fourth quarter was well worth the wait for Buffaloes fans.

Tied at 24 with Arizona State, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, with the help of wide receiver Javon Antonio, needed less than one minute to bring the Buffs from their own 25-yard line into field goal range, setting up an Alejandro Mata 43-yard game-winner.

The Buffs are now 4-2 (1-2 Pac-12) following their 27-24 victory at Mountain America Stadium. More importantly, they’re now two wins away from becoming bowl-eligible in head coach Deion Sanders’ first season.
