Miracle at Folsom

October 8th, 2024

Just when all hope was thought to be lost, the University of Colorado football team on the last play of the game delivered a Hollywood worthy ending with a game tying Hail Mary. In front of sellout crowd at Folsom Field on September 21st, Baylor and CU were neck and neck the entire game.

With time expiring and down seven points, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw up a prayer from 50 yards away. Colorado Wide Receiver LaJohntay Wester answered that prayer with a touchdown catch to bring the Buffaloes to overtime. Colorado then capitalized on a touchdown in overtime, and Cornerback Travis Hunter forced a fumble on defense to clinch the game.

An absolute miracle at Folsom Field.
