Micah Parsons Blasts Baylor for Late-Game Actions Against Colorado
Colorado pulled off a miracle Hail Mary against Baylor and Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons was just as stunned as everyone else.
Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders rolled out to his left and connected with LaJohntay Wester for a 43-yard touchdown, forcing overtime.
Parsons could not believe Baylor's defensive play call on what could have been the final play of the game.
"Baylor dc might get fired after this," Parsons said . "Over load blitz with two second left?!! Let's qb break contain for a game changing touchdown! Wow!!"
Bears defensive coordinator Matthew Powledge is probably safe. It's Baylor head coach Dave Aranda who calls the plays on defense.
That said, Parsons was not the only one shocked by Colorado's miraculous touchdown.
"Just horrific defense by Baylor there. Hahaha," former NFL lineman Geoff Schwartz wrote on X. "Get out flanked by Sanders on your rush and then a 1 on 1 for the CU WR in a Hail Mary situation."
He added: "I don't think Aranda recovers from this. Plus he calls the defense. And Colorado had two open receivers on two straight Hail Mary plays."
Colorado scored a touchdown on their opening possession of overtime and Travis Hunter sealed the win with a forced fumble right at the goal line.
Sanders finished the matchup with 341 yards passing and two scores. He also scored the eventual game-winning touchdown in overtime.
Hunter recorded another 100-yard game, collecting 130 yards on a team-high seven receptions.
