In Colorado's last game before a bye week, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw a pair of touchdown passes to Travis Hunter and ran for a score to help Colorado become bowl-eligible with a 34-23 win over Cincinnati.
Sanders put on quite an efficient aerial show, completing 25 of 30 passes for 323 yards. He completed his first 15 passes, which was the most to start a game in program history.
The Buffaloes and Deion Sanders will appear this season on all four major networks in the same season for the first time in school history. Games this season were scheduled on FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC and ESPN.
