The entire football world was watching as the Colorado Buffaloes fought their way back to overcome a tough win at home on Saturday night against the rival Colorado State Rams.
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders led an incredible offensive drive, complete with a two-point conversion, to tie the ballgame and send it into overtime late in the fourth quarter. It was a Brady-like drive with the game on the line, and Sanders executed it to perfection.
The Buffaloes ultimately outlasted the Rams in a 43-35 victory in double overtime.
“All I was thinking is Brady mode,” Sanders said after the game. “That’s it, simple. Brady mode, that’s it. They left too much time out there.”

Brady posted Sanders’ post-game comments on his Facebook story, along with an epic response to the budding, young signal-caller.
“I just want to go Shedeur mode at some point in life. Great win,” said Brady.
Sanders finished the game going 38-of-47 for 348 passing yards, four touchdowns and only one interception. With the win, the Buffaloes improved to 3-0 on the season, and Sanders’ Heisman odds will likely continue to grow.
