As Stanford pulled off an impressive comeback over Colorado, wide receiver Elic Ayomanor was right in the middle of it all. The Cardinal sophomore totaled 13 catches for a school-record 294 yards and three touchdowns on the night, almost single-handedly rallying Stanford from a 29-point halftime deficit for a stunning 46-43 double overtime victory.
All three of Ayomanor’s touchdowns were crucial, none more so than his 30-yard reception in the first overtime to extend the game. On first-and-15, while lined up against star Colorado scornerback Travis Hunter, Ayomanor caught a touchdown while pinning the ball against Hunter’s helmet, evoking David Tyree’s famous catch over Rodney Harrison in Super Bowl XLII.
