On Friday night, Colorado fans thought they were in for an easy victory while hosting a Stanford team on a four-game losing streak. Instead, the Buffaloes blew a 29–0 halftime lead in historic fashion, taking the home crowd out of the game completely.
Stanford outscored Colorado 46–14 in the second half and overtime, completing the largest second-half comeback in Pac-12 history and delivering the Buffaloes their third loss.
In the end, Colorado fans left the stadium in disbelief instead of in euphoria. After Stanford hit the game-winning field goal, one Colorado fan in particular was caught on camera crying, with another fan consoling him.
