Colorado head coach Deion Sanders advised his players to celebrate responsibly after a 38-31 overtime victory on Saturday night.

In his post-game locker room speech, Sanders told his players they were “not going to do anything stupid tonight.”

“Let’s not just do something crazy that would cause the police to arrest you,” he said, noting that doing so would result in being removed from the team (53:05).

The Buffs had plenty to cheer about as they opened Big 12 play in triumphant fashion. They trailed by as many as 14 points in the first half and needed LaJohntay Wester’s 43-yard touchdown reception as time expired to force overtime.

Micah Welch’s one-yard touchdown run gave Colorado the lead in overtime, but a fumble by Baylor’s Dominic Richardson on 1st-and-goal condemned the Bears to defeat.

Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw for 341 yards and two touchdowns, while two-way star Travis Hunter had seven receptions for 130 yards and three tackles.
