BOULDER, CO - Medicine Hat born Elic Ayomanor lead a massive comeback win again coach “Prime Time” Dion Sanders’ Colorado Buffalos Saturday evening to beat the Buffs 46-43 in double overtime.

The 6' 2", 210 lb. wide receiver caught 13 passes for 294 yards and 3 TD's which set a single game record for Stanford. His 294 yards receiving broke the school record held by Troy Walters (278) against UCLA in 1999.

He was also named a PAC 12 Offensive player of the week. His list of accomplishments in the game are as follows:

  • Had 13 receptions for 294 yards and 3 TD in Stanford's 46-43 double overtime win at Colorado on Friday night
  • Set the Stanford program record for receiving yards in a game (294), besting the mark from Troy Walters in 1999 
  • Second most single-game receiving yards in Pac-12 history (USC's Marquise Lee, 345 in 2012) 
  • Most receiving yards by an FBS player since Ohio State's Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the 2022 Rose Bowl (347) 
  • His 13 receptions are tied for the 2nd most in Stanford history, trailing only Simi Fehoko (16) at UCLA in 2020 
  • His 97-yard touchdown reception is the longest by a Cardinal since Troy Walters' 98-yard score in 1999 
  • First player in the Pac-12 with multiple touchdown receptions of 60+ yards since Washington's John Ross III on November 5, 2016
  • Eclipsed 100 receiving yards for the first time in his career, becoming the first Stanford wide receiver with 100 yards in a game this season (second player overall)
  • In first 5 games this season, had 15 receptions for 207 yards and 1 touchdown. Did not appear in a game last season as a true freshman
  • The 2 longest plays of this season by the Stanford offense were Ayomanor touchdowns on Friday
  • His 3 TD game is the first by a Cardinal since Simi Fehoko in 2020 at UCLA
  • 1st Stanford player to be name Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week since Simi Fehoko in 2020

Their next game is Saturday at home against the No. 25 UCLA Bruins in a classic PAC 12 battle.
