A couple of other nice Deion moments:
Deion went for it on 4th and 2 early in the 3rd quarter from our 45 yd line while already up 29-0. Shedeur was sacked for a 12 yd loss, giving us great field position on their 43 yard line, and this was the start of the comeback. We had shown absolutely nothing on offense to that point, so that was a big momentum changer.
At the end of the 3rd, we had an incomplete pass on 3rd and 7 from the CU 16 yd line, down 29-19 at the time. However, Filkins was called for an illegal block. Instead of making us kick a FG, Deion took the penalty, pushing us back to the 31 yd line (but still not out of Karty FG range), but replaying 3rd down. But on that replayed 3rd and 22, Travis Hunter gets a Trojanesque personal foul for hitting Mudia Reuben in the head, which keeps our drive alive. We eventually score a TD and you could just feel their collective stadium sphincters tighten.
