You know Colorado had a very successful Saturday when the Buffs' biggest obstacles in their 41-27 win against Texas Tech were the tortilla interferences.

That's potentially an over exaggeration, but Colorado won its fourth straight game on the road and executed a complimentary football to keep the No. 22-ranked offense in FBS in check and wear down a struggling defense in the pass game. With the win in Lubbock and Kansas’ win against No. 17 Iowa State, the Buffs find themselves in sole possession of second place in the Big 12, and a spot in the conference title game is within the Buffs' sights.

Shedeur Sanders completed 30-of-43 passes for 291 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He became the third player in CU history with 10 career 300-yard passing games with his performance in the win. After a day of dodging defenders and tortillas, Sanders had to sign one as his final statement in the signature road win.

“They kept throwing [tortillas] at me so I had to sign one," Sanders said.

From the stat sheet, it would appear that running back Tahj Brooks recorded an exceptional game on an evening when he became Texas Tech’s all-time leading rusher, running for 137 yards on 31 carries with one touchdown. However, the majority of his production came in the fourth quarter as he ran for four double-digit gains. Prior to the fourth quarter, all of his runs were for five yards or less.

Overall, he averaged 4.4 yards per carry.

"Setting the stage for stopping the run tonight, consistently," Sanders said. "They got yards, but there was yards later on in the game that they just just got, but we probably would have held [Brooks] to under 100 yards had we really had the game play like it was supposed to."
