Footage of Sanders’ postgame locker room speech to his team has since emerged the place Sanders known as the hassle “pathetic” and — a minimum of briefly — conceded to the team’s critics when addressing gamers.
“What we just did today was pathetic,” Sanders mentioned. “All the love that you received and all the love that we were receiving, oh you be getting ready to see that flip. And don’t get beside yourself on social media and start responding to the foolishness, because [the critics] are right. They’re right. … And we are practicing tomorrow [on Saturday].”
Colorado ruled Stanford in the primary part, however the Cardinal scored 26 directly issues in the second one part earlier than Buffaloes two-way megastar Travis Hunter — enjoying in his first sport since struggling an harm in Week 3 — put Colorado again up by way of two ratings along with his 2nd landing catch of the night time. Stanford rallied once more, alternatively, as Cardinal kicker Joshua Karty hit a 46-yard box objective as legislation expired to tie the sport. He later delivered the game-winner in the second one additional time as Stanford recorded its first Pac-12 win and snapped a four-game shedding streak.
While Hunter’s go back to motion was once a big storyline — he ended the night time with 13 catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns, plus 5 tackles on protection — Stanford vast receiver Elic Ayomanor in the end stole the highlight. Ayomanor pulled in 13 catches for 294 yards and 3 touchdowns because the Cardinal pulled off the incredible comeback.
