UCF gifted the Buffaloes an extra possession by going three-and-out with 37 seconds left. Randy Pittman hauled in a five-yard reception and went out of bounds, RJ Harvey dropped a short throw over the middle and Colorado's Taje McCoy sacked KJ Jefferson, allowing Deion Sanders to call his final timeout.

The Knights spent most of Saturday's second-half chasing a three-score deficit against Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes.

ORLANDO — In one of UCF’s biggest opportunities in years Saturday, the Knights were not ready for prime time. Or “Prime Time.” UCF was on the wrong end of Deion Sanders’ biggest win with Colorado — a 48-21 shellacking Knights coach Gus Malzahn didn’t see coming.
