Colorado blew a 29-point halftime lead in stunning fashion Friday night, ultimately losing 46-43 in double overtime to visiting Stanford. The game marked the Buffaloes’ third loss in four games and the first time under Deion Sanders that Colorado was on the wrong end of a major upset, as the Cardinal entered with a 1-4 record as a 13-point underdog.
The result marked the biggest blown lead in Colorado school history and the largest halftime comeback in Pac-12 history. After the game, Sanders bluntly explained that he was frustrated by the outcome and the blown lead.
“I’m truly upset. I’m truly disturbed,” Sanders told reporters afterward.
