S4 Ep #7. Colorado collapses in second half against Stanford in improbable 46-43 2OT loss.

Colorado collapses in second half against Stanford in improbable 46-43 2OT loss. Colorado’s chances at a bowl game might have disappeared in an incredible second-half collapse against Stanford on Friday night. The Cardinal overcame a 29-0 halftime deficit to stun Colorado 46-43 in double overtime. Wide receiver Elic Ayomanor was unstoppable after halftime and made an amazing catch over Colorado star Travis Hunter to send the game to a second overtime. Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders threw an ill-advised interception on third down on the Buffs’ possession in the second overtime as Stanford was able to win the game on a 31-yard field goal by Joshua Karty. The overtime TD catch was Ayomanor’s third of the game. He finished with 13 catches for a school-record 294 yards as Colorado could do nothing to slow him down. Ayomanor scored Stanford’s first TD of the game in the third quarter on a 97-yard catch-and-run. He scored on a 60-yard TD on the following possession and Stanford QB Ashton Daniels soon started to look his way nearly every pass play. The Buffs ended up with Hunter shadowing Ayomanor but even that didn’t work. Daniels was 27-of-45 passing for 396 yards and four TDs. He had thrown for fewer than 60 yards and completed just a third of his passes before Ayomanor’s 97-yard catch. Colorado looked great in the first half Colorado appeared on the way to a dominant win through the first 30 minutes. Hunter returned to the lineup for the first time since he suffered a lacerated liver on a late hit in Week 3 and scored the first TD of his Colorado career to give the Buffs a 14-0 lead.
