The story just keeps getting better for the Colorado football team.
The Buffaloes improved to 3-0 under coach Deion Sanders after rallying from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to thwart upset-minded Colorado State, 43-35, in double overtime late Saturday night in Boulder.
It was a chippy game befitting a bitter intrastate rivalry, having taken on added intensity after Rams coach Jay Norvell took a verbal jab at Sanders earlier in the week about his sunglasses. Indeed, tempers simmered in a pregame dust-up between the teams at midfield. Buffaloes two-way star Travis Hunter was knocked out of the game after taking a brutal late hit.
