The Buffaloes outplayed Utah in two out of three phases and eventually got rolling on offense in a 49-24 victory, extending their win streak to four games and ensuring they'll remain in the Big 12 championship race the rest of the way. Afterward, Sanders delivered a critique that sounded a little more like a warning.

In the win, Sanders put his name into college football record books by throwing a touchdown pass in his 46th (!!) consecutive game, as Colorado beat writer Brian Howell of Buff Zone pointed out . The previous record was set by Central Washington's Mike Reilly, Rakeem Cato from Marshall and Bart Williams from Grand Valley State.

After an unparalleled amount of hype and controversy, Colorado on a path to win the Big 12, but first it’ll face preseason conference favorites Utah.
