Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders and the offense pulled off a blowout win over the Baylor Bears on Saturday night, highlighted by an incredible last-second Hail Mary play.

Sanders’ long toss hit LaJohntay Wester to send the game into overtime, and then Micah Welch’s 1-yard touchdown run gave Colorado the win.

The quarterback explained his emotions after the 38-31 victory.

“We put (Travis Hunter) in the background, we knew he was going to get all the attention, and LaJohntay was just going to be out there, one-on-one,” Sanders said, via Yahoo Sports. “They’re not going to think we’re going to throw him the ball because he’s a smaller guy in that situation.

“So then I rolled to my left, everybody went to the middle of the end zone and I just trusted God. I just threw it to God. And God definitely answered the prayer.”

Sanders was 25-of-41 with 341 passing yards and two touchdown passes. He also had a rushing touchdown.

Travis Hunter was the top receiver with seven catches for 134 yards.

“I knew they were coming at me,” Hunter said. “They didn’t think I could tackle, so I had to show them.”

The incredible last-second play came three days before the “Miracle at Michigan” play, when the Kordell Stewart-led team defeated Michigan on its Hail Mary play in 1994. The broadcast showed the clip seconds before Sanders’ touchdown.

“Heartbreaking loss,” Baylor coach Dave Aranda said. “I’ve never really been a part of something like that, especially until the last play of overtime. … Very tough to process. The team is very depleted and frustrated right now. We’re probably going to be sore all the way back to Waco.”
