00:00It's a Boulder, Colorado. We go. Based on the narrative and

00:07storyline and all of the national notoriety, you could

00:10argue this was one of the five or ten best games of the

00:13entirety of the week. One slate and if you look at the box

00:18score, Colorado walks away with an unbeaten record and a

00:22season-opening win. Thirty-one twenty-six against North Dakota

00:26State but the spread double digits in favor of CU. A total

00:31that screamed its way down prior to kick last night in

00:34Boulder does go slightly over the closing number of fifty-four

00:39and a hook. Colorado wins thirty-one twenty-six against

00:43FCS Powerhouse North Dakota State but the Bison get a cover

00:48over the Buffaloes as NDSU covers as a ten and a half

00:52point underdog. He had an unbelievable one of his three

00:55touchdown catches for Travis Hunter late in that game. The

00:58reason you bring it up is that pretty much salted away for

01:00Colorado but the question always has been with us is,

01:03ooh, that puts you right in that strike zone of getting a

01:05cover. Colorado, if they can get a stop, they weren't able to

01:08get a stop and watching that final drive for North Dakota

01:11State sort of gave me a little bit of a chuckle because yes,

01:13they were trying to score as fast as they could but it

01:15almost looked like the MO was, let's just make sure we score

01:18a touchdown here no matter how much time's on the clock and

01:21they got a late run from the quarterback which is great for

01:23that touchdown which gave us a little bit of late game

01:25intrigue that came down to Ben what? A pass interference call

01:29which was the right call and a great play by Shador Sanders

01:32and an even better play by the wide receiver doing what you're

01:35taught. The defender's not paying attention, looking at

01:37the football, run through him back on the catch. That was the

01:40game when he played even though he never should have got the

01:42football back. Colorado's throwing the first down with

01:45under two minutes to go. One time out for North Dakota State.

01:48Never want to do that but that was enjoyable yesterday. What

01:50did we want to see? What Colorado team we were going to

01:53get because they're going to get a good punch here from

01:55North Dakota State and they did throughout parts of that game.

01:58You see the final score. Yes, it was close but I was happy

02:01with the performance for the Buffaloes. Now, translation to

02:04the regular season, we'll see but Shador Sanders looks every

02:07bit the part of a professional quarterback. Throws a beautiful

02:10ball and for me, Ben, playing wide receiver, that would be a

02:14dream to play with a guy who could throw the football like

02:16that and hit you anywhere on the football field. That was

02:19enjoyable for me yesterday to see how well he played.
