Colorado leads Nebraska 13-0 at the end of the first half with the Buffaloes taking momentum in the final few minutes after a slow start. Colorado took advantage of a huge Nebraska turnover to take a double-digit lead as quarterback Shedeur Sanders connected with wide receiver Tar'Varish Dawson for a 30-yard touchdown one play after Colorado's defense logged an interception.
Jeff Sims is responsible for all of them. He fumbled two snaps, both of which hit him squarely in the hands, and Colorado was able to pounce on them. Then, with just under three minutes to play in the third quarter, Sims stared down Nebraska tight end Thomas Fidone on an out route and threw the ball way too late, allowing Colorado's Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig to jump the route and intercept the pass.
Trailing by 13 to begin the second half, Nebraska quarterback Jeff Sims injected life into the strong contingent of visiting fans with a 57-yard touchdown run on a designed keeper down the right sideline. It was the Cornhuskers' longest gain of the day.
Cornhuskers for an all-out blitz on third and 10 by connecting with wideout Xavier Weaver for a 41-yard gain down the right sideline. And then, on another third and 10 several plays later, coolly rolled to his left as his receivers crossed the back of the end zone on a long-developing play. He rifled a 12-yard touchdown to Weaver for his second passing score of the game.
Everything changed in the second half, though, as Sanders connected with wide receiver Xavier Weaver for multiple big gains down the field and the Buffs ended up scoring 23 points in the final 30 minutes of play.
Despite the early struggles, Sanders still finished a cool 31-for-42 passing for 393 yards and two touchdowns. He also scrambled for a score late in the fourth quarter to really rub salt in the wounds of Husker fans.
