Colorado had spent more than three quarters trailing Arizona State in its road Pac-12 game on Saturday.
The Buffaloes finally grabbed a lead at 21-17 when Shadeur Sanders threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Javon Antonio.
Caught up briefly with Ethan Bacon, the Big Ten Network videographer who took the hit in this video.
“Hurt for about 40 minutes, and now it’s all good and it’s a funny story to tell and a great shot to have.” https://t.co/1CTqEezvBB pic.twitter.com/jLX6VhDBaG

It was Antonio’s fourth catch as a senior. He practiced with the tight end group for the first time this week.
The Sun Devils hurt themselves on the 7-play drive by the Buffaloes. They were flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct due to a late hit on Sanders after a run.
The lead was Colorado’s first since the end of the Colorado State game.
