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

In his postgame locker room speech, Sanders told his players that they “won’t do anything stupid tonight.”

“Let's not go out there and do anything crazy that might provoke the police into arresting us,” he said, pointing out that doing so would result in expulsion from the team (53:05).

The Buffs had every reason to celebrate as they opened Big 12 play victoriously. 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 advantage in overtime before a fumble by Baylor's Dominic Richardson on first down and goal sealed the Bears' loss.

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