Colorado beat the Baylor Bears in a thriller on Saturday after a 43-yard Hail Mary touchdown in the final seconds of regular time from the Buffaloes forced overtime.

A chaotic scene erupted on the field after Colorado shocked Baylor with a dramatic overtime win Saturday night in Boulder. The Buffaloes pulled off a Hail Mary pass as time expired in regulation and then halted the Bears just inches short of a game-tying touchdown in overtime, securing a 38-31 victory in their return to the Big 12.

"Coach Prime" came to Boulder after going 27-5 at Jackson State with the huge task of rebuilding a struggling Pac-12 program. While his first season wasn't a smashing success—the team finished 4-8 in 2023—the buzz created left many looking ahead to what Year 2 and beyond will look like.
