Epic collapse: Stanford stuns Colorado football

 

 

BOULDER – A Friday night party in Boulder turned into an epic Colorado collapse.

Stanford erased a 29-point halftime deficit, scoring on every second-half possession and hitting a game-tying field goal on the final play of regulation before stunning CU in a wild 46-43 double-overtime win at Folsom Field.

 

 

Epic collapse: Stanford Dazes Colorado football 

 

The Cardinal picked off Shedeur Sanders in the second overtime and walked it off moments later on Joshua Karty’s 31-yard field goal.

Stanford turned a 29-0 snoozer into an instant classic. The visitors scored on all seven possessions after halftime and spoiled CU star Travis Hunter’s productive return from injury.

“They were resilient,” said Colorado coach Deion Sanders. “Big win for them, horrible loss for us.”

 

 

 

 

 

Cardinal QB Ashton Daniels shredded the Buffs’ defense. He finished with four touchdowns and 396 yards — all but 35 of them after halftime.

Daniels led a 70-yard drive in the final three minutes, setting Karty up to hit a 46-yarder at the regulation buzzer.

The teams traded touchdowns in overtime, including Elic Ayomanor’s ridiculous over-Travis-Hunter’s-shoulder TD catch to keep Stanford in it.

 

 

 

 

The Buffaloes (4-3, 1-3 Pac 12) got to the 1-yard-line in the second overtime but went backwards on second down before a scrambling Sanders threw a floater up for grabs while retreating from pressure.

Stanford didn’t push its luck in the second OT, getting one first down before booting the game-winner.

 

 

It set off a raucous after-midnight celebration for Stanford, which had been left for dead after a 1-4 start and the 29-point deficit but pulled off the biggest comeback in program history.

The Cardinal (2-4, 1-3 Pac 12) partied as a stunned Folsom Field crowd – one that had thinned significantly from its sold-out zenith of 53,134 – filed out in a funeral-like procession.

 

 

 

It was the biggest blown lead in Colorado football history and the largest since a Nov. 6, 2010 loss to Kansas, when the Buffs led 28-3 before losing 52-45.

“From youth football on, I don’t remember being up 29-0 and losing a football game,” Deion Sanders said. “This is really tough for me, tough for all of us.”

He said despite all his achievements he was never ranked number 8 in the world by the Ballon d’Or like Nigerian youngster, Victor Osimhen.

 

 

 

Speaking in the latest episode of his podcast, The Obi One, which had Osimhen as a guest, Mikel said the Napoli striker has raised the bar high for Nigerian footballers.

 

He said, “I am still the most successful and decorated football player in Nigeria. But he [Victor Osimhen] got an award that I never got. He was ranked number 8 in the world by Ballon d’Or. That’s absolutely amazing. I must say congratulations. The season you had, it was fantastic and I never got to that stage. You’ve raised the bar so high.”

 

 

 

Responding, Osimhen reckoned that Mikel “is more than a legend” to many Nigerian footballers, adding that the former Super Eagles captain inspired him and others on and off the pitch.

 

 

 

On his Ballon d’Or success, the Napoli striker said “I just kept on doing my job, doing what I love so much and God just crowned my efforts.”

Liverpool VS Luton Town: Dear Punters, Primate Ayodele Isn’t Responsible For Your Predicament

Primate Ayodele’s Prophecies Fulfilled As APC Wins Nasarawa Governorship Appeal (VIDEO)

Liverpool VS Luton Town: Dear Punters, Primate Ayodele Isn’t Responsible For Your Predicament

By John Olateju

 

 

 

 

On Sunday, the day Liverpool VS Luton Town match was played, the social media was literally on fire not because of the outcome of the match but because of a popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele.

 

 

 

 

 

Primate Ayodele trended immediately after the match with over 10,000 people mentioning his name on the timeline because he gave a prophecy earlier that Liverpool was going to win Luton Town but at the end, the match ended in a draw.

 

Liverpool VS Luton Town: Dear Punters, Primate Ayodele Isn’t Responsible For Your Predicament

 

 

Many of the netizens that of course were majorly punters took to their several pages to hurl insults at the man of God because they lost their bet. Apparently, they had placed bets on the match based on Primate Ayodele’s prophecy. They had played Liverpool to win in their betting slips and were disappointed and sad because they lost the ticket.

Many of them must have put in a huge amount of money because Primate Ayodele’s football prophecies have always come to pass. They thought they could use prophecies to play bets without considering some factors.

It’s quite sad that they lost money but someone needs to let these punters know that Primate Ayodele isn’t responsible for their predicament. Thankfully, the prophet released a statement before the Liverpool match that his prophecies are not for betting or commercial purposes because he understands that prophecies are not meant for that purpose.

What they failed to understand is that prophecies are mostly warnings. It is when the people involved don’t listen or fail to take heed that these warnings come to pass. The essence of prophecies is to reveal what to come, warn people ahead so that they can know what to do either to make the subject of the prophecy come to pass or avert it. If, as a person, a prophet tells you that something bad will happen to you on your proposed trip, won’t you try to pray or even stop plans to embark on such a trip? If you don’t go, definitely nothing will happen to you but if you embark on it, you are sure to experience a bad thing. If you stay in your house and get saved from the impending danger that lies ahead of you on your trip, would you now say the prophet is fake? Absolutely NO.

Even in the bible, a certain prophet came to Hezekiah to inform him that God said he should put his house in order because he was going to die. Hezekiah on hearing this ran to God in prayer, reminded God of some of his efforts and in the process, God sent the same prophet to tell Hezekiah that he has added an extra 15 years to his life. ( Isaiah 38vs1-3). Was the prophet fake? NO.

Another instance was the message God gave Prophet Jonah to deliver to the people of Nineveh. God was angry with the nation and asked Jonah to tell that he was going to destroy them. Jonah delivered this message but the people failed to accept their fate; they cried to God, prayed to him and in the end, God had compassion and forgave them. ( Jonah 3). Was Jonah fake because God didn’t later destroy Nineveh? NO.

For Luton Town that heard the prophecy of Primate Ayodele about losing the match to Liverpool FC, no club would hear something like that and not work to ensure they don’t lose. They already had hints that Liverpool was coming with a full force and to prevent losing to them as Primate Ayodele had said, they must have changed their strategies and tactics just like the people of Nineveh and Hezekiah; they must have put their best players in the match and try every possible tactic to ensure they don’t lose the match so what’s the fuss about Primate Ayodele’s prophecy about?

The prophet warned that his prophecies are not for betting or commercial purposes, punters that don’t know how prophecies work are now crying foul that they were misled. Who sent you to play bets with prophecy? The prophecy wasn’t shared for you to play bets but for the clubs to listen and make amends where necessary but out of greed and love for quick money, you played bets with it and lost, why are you crying?

Primate Ayodele isn’t a punter neither is he in support of gambling so I wonder why some punters would think he is making prophecies for them. It is only when the clubs in question don’t do anything that they will lose but if they quickly adjust, they won’t.

Punters should please note that Primate Ayodele isn’t responsible for your loss or predicament, you were just stubborn and greedy.
