BOULDER, Colo. — LaJohntay Wester caught a 43-yard Hail Mary pass from Shedeur Sanders with no time remaining in regulation and Travis Hunter forced a fumble at the 1-yard line in overtime as Colorado rallied for an improbable 38-31 win over Baylor on a drizzly night. Micah Welch's short plunge in overtime gave the Buffaloes their first lead since the opening quarter. Hunter, the two-way standout for the Buffaloes, jarred the ball loose from Dominic Richardson at the goal line and the ball rolled out of the end zone. The fans rushed the field as officials confirmed the call.
