1st Thanksgiving In Freedom

FORT COLLINS —  A would-be Black Friday black eye at Canvas Stadium turned into a stunning comeback. Colorado State ripped off 29 straight points in the fourth quarter to erase a 17-point deficit and claim a thrilling 42-37 victory over Utah State on Friday afternoon. As a result, CSU heads into the final day of college football’s regular season with its hopes for a berth in the Mountain West championship game still alive. The Rams looked dead in the water following an Aggies’ defensive TD in the final moments of the third quarter.

Class 5A No. 5 Valor Christian (11-1) at No. 1 Cherry Creek (11-1), 1 p.m. Saturday: For the eighth time in 11 seasons, 5A’s top two programs meet in the state playoffs in the semifinals or later. The Bruins have won the last three, all in the 5A championship round, and are now playing for their seventh straight trip to the 5A title game.

There’s something for everyone with these can’t-miss deals For seasoned shoppers, Black Friday is a holiday in its own right. Whether you’re ready to start ticking names off your holiday shopping list or just want to treat yourself to items you’ve had your eye on, you can score big savings on everything from laptops to sunscreen. Not sure where to start?

BOULDER — Near the end of the third quarter, Shedeur Sanders threw a perfect pass — the kind that will almost assuredly make him a top-five pick in April’s NFL draft. The CU Buffs’ senior quarterback pinpointed a back-of-the-shoulder throw along the sideline to LaJohntay Wester. The 33-yard play was a special gem amid an array of highlights in No.

No matter how healthy a team stays, the NFL season will always test depth eventually. The Broncos are feeling that now, at least to some degree. One place Denver is confident in its depth: Cornerback. When Riley Moss injured his knee Sunday at Las Vegas, veteran Levi Wallace stepped in and played solid. “That’s been the standard since I first got here,” Wallace told The Post this week.

If any doubt lingered about Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix’s status for Monday night, he put it to rest Friday. “I’m good to go,” he said flatly. “Ready to roll.” Nix was estimated to be a limited participant in Denver’s Thursday walkthrough because of a back issue but then was a full participant Friday. He didn’t miss any time in Sunday’s 29-19 victory over Las Vegas, but the broadcast did show him grab at his lower back after he made a throw backpedaling in the face of pressure from Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby.
