Colorado did its best to stage a late-game comeback against No. 8 USC on Saturday, a game that was not all that competitive until the 4th quarter.
The visiting Trojans built a huge lead behind the stellar performance of its reigning Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Caleb Williams, but suspect tackling on the defensive side saw USC nearly blow what was once a 34–7 lead. Ultimately Colorado’s comeback bid came short after USC recovered an onside kick with 1:43 to play to hold on and win 48–41.
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was asked after the game if the team could take away any sort of moral victories from how it played Saturday against a top 10 team in the country. His response was priceless.
