UCF gifted the Buffaloes an extra possession by going three-and-out with 37 seconds left. Randy Pittman hauled in a five-yard reception and went out of bounds, RJ Harvey dropped a short throw over the middle and Colorado's Taje McCoy sacked KJ Jefferson, allowing Deion Sanders to call his final timeout.

So did Travis Hunter and the other so-called “Florida boys” on the Colorado football team. They returned to their native state this week, dodged Hurricane Helene and then pulled off a 48-21 win Saturday at Central Florida.
