The Colorado Buffaloes went on the road to face Texas Tech on Saturday and left with a 41-27 win. Red Raiders fans are known for creating hostile, intimidating environments for road opponents, and they ratcheted up the intensity for the ever-popular Colorado Buffaloes led by Deion Sanders that sits behind only BYU in the conference.

During the game, objects were hurled onto the field, starting with tortillas. Those are traditional, as Red Raiders fans have been throwing soft tortillas for decades. Later, though, objects escalated to water bottles, which prompted Sanders to complain to officials, and Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire to get on a microphone and plead with home fans to stop throwing things on the field.
