Colorado can't pull off another miracle after losing Travis Hunter, other stars to injury
BOULDER, Colo. – Coach Deion Sanders and his Colorado football team almost pulled off another miracle here Saturday night against Kansas State.
Just three weeks after they needed a Hail Mary touchdown pass to beat Baylor, this time they overcame a 14-point deficit in the second half to retake the lead late in the fourth quarter. But big lapses on defense doomed them in the end of a 31-28 loss at Folsom Field.
The loss stops a three-game winning streak that had the Buffaloes gunning for the Big 12 title. The question now is how bad the fallout will be, because they didn’t just lose the game.

They also lost two-way star Travis Hunter, who left the game in the second quarter with a shoulder injury and didn’t return.
His future status is unclear, as is his promising candidacy for the Heisman Trophy.
In his absence, Kansas State hogged the ball and scored on their first three offensive possessions without Hunter on the field at cornerback – two touchdowns and a 48-yard field goal.
The Buffs still took the lead briefly late in the fourth quarter, 28-24. But they surrendered it right back with a defensive lapse at the end – a three-play, 84-yard touchdown drive that put the Wildcats up for good with 2:14 remaining, culminating with a 50-yard touchdown pass from KSU quarterback Avery Johnson to receiver Jayce Brown.
