In Colorado’s first game since firing Karl Dorrell, the Buffaloes responded with an energy level previously unseen this season.
Interim defensive coordinator Gerald Chatman led a thriving unit that allowed Cal’s Jayden Ott, one of the Pac-12’s best running backs, only 47 yards. The secondary also excelled with four pass breakups and a Tyrin Taylor interception in the first quarter.
After Cal kicked a field goal with time expiring in regulation, JT Shrout’s touchdown pass to Montana Lemonious-Craig was all the offense CU needed in overtime to beat the Golden Bears, 20-13.
Check out how social media reacted to the Buffs’ first win of the season:
You have to admire the loyalty of Colorado football fans, filling the stadium despite a losing streak and celebrating the first win as if it were a championship.
Easy to imagine Folsom Field becoming an incredibly tough place to play when the Buffs field a great team.

50,000+ fans showed up to support the last remaining winless team in the FBS. Packed the house and got Folsom Field rockin. Huge props to #BuffNation. And especially to Mike Sanford for reclaiming some much-needed dignity around Colorado football. So happy for the Buffs!
