Isaac Wilson was sacked on third and goal, pushing the ball back to the Colorado 14. Shedeur Sanders’ interception was the Buffaloes’ first turnover in two games.

If Colorado simply handles its business the rest of the way and beats three teams, Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma State (with a combined record of 10-18), the Buffaloes will have a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game and a chance to play their way into the College Football Playoff, completing an incredible turnaround from last year’s four-win season.
