Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter help Colorado hold off NDSU 31-26 to start Year 2 under Deion Sanders

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Sanders threw for 445 yards and four touchdowns — three to Travis Hunter — and Colorado began Year 2 under Deion Sanders by holding off FCS power North Dakota State 31-26 on Thursday night. “You ever feel like you won but you didn’t win,” said Deion Sanders, whose team was a 10 1/2-point favorite. But we got a ‘W’ so I’m happy.” The methodical play of the Bison in the first half helped keep Heisman Trophy hopeful Sanders and the Colorado offense on the sideline. “But I do feel like offensively and defensively, this is going to give us a lot of confidence.” New North Dakota State coach Tim Polasek had his team on the cusp of an upset.
