8:01 pm
woah. and their hair looks like this. or someone says, the doors come off. then you just know what it was. what it is. and what it always will be. because when you're an original, there's only one. gold peak tea isn't made with real gold, but it is brewed with real tea leaves and real cane sugar, which makes it more valuable than gold. if you value delicious tasting tea. rich: these fans are not waiting around to see which play was the jersey mike's play of the game. jersey mike's subs. there's a lot to choose from but this throw by shedeur sanders
8:02 pm
and the catch by traverse hunter. that's worthy of a jersey mike's sub. ross: shedeur backpedals, sets, throws it downfield int the end zone. makes the grab. did he hold on? touchdown! touchdown, colorado. that ball was thrown beautifully, the second strike of the night for shedeur to travis. a touchdown pass of 2 and the buffaloes have broken the game open with 13:20 to play in the fourth quarter. rich: that's offerdahl on the carry. colorado comes out on a third and 1, runs it. gets the first down to the 38. ross: they can now just take three knees in victory formation and end the game. doesn't look like they're going to do that. rich: they give it to offerdahl. 5'11", 185 pounds.
8:03 pm
straight ahead. keeping it on ground, though. ross: you don't want to take any chance i would say of a fumble or suffering an injury. if you can take a knee, just take a knee but that is not colorado's philosophy. rich: play-action. they take a shot and it's incomplete. ross: if you remember, against north dakota state they could have just run the clock out and instead they threw the ball. this was a couple of games ago. there's 1:41 and it's first and 10. instead they try to take a shot and that gave north dakota state a chance to throw a hail mary where they came up four yards
8:04 pm
short. they also snapped the ball with 11 seconds on the count on that play. that is not smart. rich: broken up. essissima on the coverage. so what do you make of this? ross: i got to be honest with you. i think this has to be coming from deion sanders because i can't imagine that this is what pat shurmur would want to be doing in this swaying. he's a three-time nfl head coach. i think pat would be just taking a knee and knock taking a chance. now they're going for it on fourth down. rich: and sanders in the pocket get hit and it's incomplete. ross: he just took another hit from a d-tackle. rich: this makes no sense. it's a long season. they have baylor next week.
8:05 pm
then to the big 12. ross: this is a 305-pound defensive tackle going right near his throwing arm. can you imagine what he would be saying all week if shedeur sanders got his throwing arm hit in a game where they're up 19 with less than a minute left and i couch just taken a knee? i have not seen very many teams in my life do that. it's a really interesting choice. rich: i'm sure i would have heard it on ross tucker podcast all week. fowler-nicolosi. to the sidelines and that's -- with the catch, boxed up. of course now for both teams, it's into colorado and they have their first taste. a big 12. baylor at home.
8:06 pm
central florida,set state. go to texas tech, utah at kansas and alcoholi oklahoma state. of course, for colorado state, they have utep coming up and then a trip to oregon state. fowler-nicolosi goes down. ross: that's smart for him to go down. you do not want to get injured here. rich: big 12 wide open. here's what we saw today. ross: based on what we saw tonight, i think colorado has a chance to make some noise. they've had the talent. they've had so many new faces and players, it's going to take a little time to put it together and they put it together much better tonight. rich: that's really important for deion sanders and colorado. they need to win to validate all the noise. their last two seasons inspect
8:07 pm
mack 12 they've been 2-16. only last season was with this new coaching staff but yeah, i think they need to win some ballgames, right? ross: no question. last year when adversity hit, things went south and they never got it back. that is a crept toshach sanders. last week was not good against nebraska at all and he didn't know how to handle the adversity this year. they responded in a major way. rich: and the offensive line play is a huge, huge sign of improvement tonight. this rocky mountain showdown. lopsided after that first quarter. colorado state had a 3-0 lead. colorado got it in gear. remember, they scored going into the half. got the ball to start the second half. fowler-nicolosi flushed. fires it down the sideline and it's incomplete.
8:08 pm
and that's it. game over. for colorado, they'v won seven straight in this rivalry game. 28-9 is the final score. and a handshake there between deion sanders and jay norvell. breach but a handshake. travis hunter put an absolute this guy has got to be on everybody's heisman list. ross: he's must-see. i think that's one of the reasons why the ratings are so big when colorado place. obviously deion sanders is one reason. but i love watching number 12 play football how that you? rich: look at that. you see the embrace between hunter and blackburn? ross: yeah, you have to love it.
8:09 pm
rich: they've continued that relationship. so colorado now 2-1 and they turn their attention to the big 12 with a home game against baylor and then their first big 12 road trip to central florida. tiffany black man down below. tiffany: coach sanders, you told us and your team that this game, this rivalry was personal. what does it feel like to come out and win in such a commanding way? >> it feels darn good. i'm most grateful. we ran the ball effectively. reprotected him very well. the final score is not indicative of how the game played out. tiffany: why was shedeur able to have such a command on this offense? deion: they were so upset by
8:10 pm
allowing him to be toughed last week. nobody said anything about the first week. but the offensive linemen were truly upset so they took it personal. tiffany: travis hunter, the first ever colorado player to put together four straight 100-yard receiving games. does he do everything, coach? deion: travis is phenomenal. did you see the grab on defense there, the interception? that, to me, that part of the offense, i know what he's going to do but to see him focusing and in command, it was great watching him all day, every day. we appreciate you. thank you for staying with us, god bless. rich: shedeur sanders with the trophy and this rivalry now, seven straight wins for colorado. they will not meet again barring a change in scheduling until
8:11 pm
2029. travis hunter is down below with tiffany. tiffany: travis, two touchdowns and an interception. what'd it feel like to contribute to a victory this way you did tonight? >> i started to tell my team plate, i'll get an interception and i said it to my quarterback and o-line today. o-line came to play hard. dinner is on me. wherever you guys want to go, i got y'all. tiffany: the first ever colorado player to put together four straight 100-yard games. what does that mean to you? >> we decided we're not going to let them talk about us in the media. we're going to put our head down and just run. tiffany: your coach said accountability was the message this week. how did you respond to that? >> oh, we took it to heart. they talk to us last night and this morning and told us they
8:12 pm
got it and that showed it. tiffany: thank you, travis and congratulations. >> thank you. rich: pretty definitive win in in rivalry by colorado. ross: heck of a bounceback by that program after they were really humbled last week by next. didn't know how they would respond and they responded very well and it's now about what they can do with the big 12 schedule. rich: baylor and boulderer of next saturday. it started with bounce here. colorado took the growled out of it. 28-9, the final. for our entire cbs crew, i'm rich waltz. so long from the rocky mountain state. this has been a presentation of cbs sports. 28-9, colorado.

8:16 pm
san francisco mayoral candidates have deep pockets. millions have already been spent on the race. we are talking to voters to see if it is making a difference. governor newsom busy signing bills into law. the new rules when it comes to what schools have to tell parents. cooler weather and rain on the horizon. first alert meteorologist darren peck tracking when it will get here. we know more about christian mccaffrey's injury, his status with the 49ers is coming up. live from the sepia studios in san francisco this saturday night, brian hackney. >> i'm andrea nakano. we are 50 days away from the general election. san franciscans will vote on a mayor. this year's race is projected to be one of the most expensive races in the city. da lin talks to voters and looks at a couple of wealthy donors supporting mayor london breed. >> reporter: with all of its
8:17 pm
flats and problems, some say san francisco is still a world-class city. >> it is the best city in america. i know there's only so much a mayor can do. >> reporter: native san franciscan ilya ragans has a lot to say about the city. >> we've got three peaks and valleys. >> reporter: like most voters, he's concerned about crime and business. he voted for london breed in the previous mayoral election but says not this time. >> i'm not saying that london breed is bad or evil, it's just time for a change. let's try some new strategies to see if things can get done faster. >> reporter: this is partly why london breed supporters believe her path to victory will be dependent on new and young voters motivated to turn out by the presidential race. >> we are targeting the 150,000 18 to 35 younger voter that is progressive. >> reporter: chris larson is a business executive and philanthropist based in san francisco. he and former new york city mayor michael
8:18 pm
bloomberg raised $2 million for an independent expenditure account to support london breed. >> i want to say something to those who traffic in negativity. >> reporter: group paid for this 92nd at that will run on social media sites. >> san francisco is not wearing the cycles of joy negativity any longer. >> reporter: known by many as a moderate democrat, the god trees breed as a "practical progressive." >> valuing the safety of our seniors, from chinatown to the bayview. our immigrant and working families in the tenderloin is progressive. >> reporter: larson says breeder deserves another term because she is battle tested and provides the right balance compared to her challengers. >> we are on track for the lowest murder rate since 1985. car break-ins in july were down 70% from the year previous. that is largely because of london's leadership appeared >> i know crime is down. >> reporter: not everyone buys
8:19 pm
what is being sold. the undecided ilya ragans is leaning toward one of the moderate challengers. he says the november election is about building a better future. >> the future belongs to them, to the young ones. you got to vote or, you know, the future is doomed. >> reporter: read has wealthy friends but her challengers are also spending big money. daniel lurie supporters raised $2 million in a separate action committee to campaign for him. >> is a closer look at how much the candidates are spending. daniel lurie and london breed have spent the most. daniel lurie's campaign has spent more than $4 million, breed has spent more than 1.5 million. the other candidates have spent less than 500,000 on their campaigns. the next mayor will be decided by ranked choice voting, which has been around in the bay area for a while. the idea is to save money by having fewer elections, grabbing a broader size of the electorate with one single vote. but, ranked choice voting
8:20 pm
is also caused some frustration. wilson walker looks at the psychology of the vote and the results. >> i have friends who hate rink choice voting. they are convinced it is the root of all evil in oakland. >> reporter: longtime oakland political observer in city council candidate lynn rafael is talking about how the votes are counted. in oakland, this conversation goes back to the city's very first ranked choice vote for mayor back in 2010. >> things look pretty good right now. but, i don't understand ranked choice voting. some, who knows. >> reporter: don perata did get the most first-place votes, a whopping 40% of them. so, very few people expected his nine point lead to vanish. that was
8:21 pm
just one race oddity. >> the second piece that was unusual was the ranked choice tallies were not released for three days after the first place tallies has been released. the result was that for three days, people said don perata is going to be the mayor and then they ran the algorithm and the ranked choice tally and said he's not. >> reporter: it seemed like a plot twist. >> it was perceived as something unusual has happened here. >> reporter: corey cook is a professor of political science at st. mary's. he has studied every single ranked choice vote in the bay area. he says the result was both an outlier and a cloud that hung over her for four years. >> jean quan, through no fault of her own, was a view does not the legitimate winner of the mayoral election in oakland, even though, objectively, she was the preferred choice. >> this is the closest race for mayor in the history of oakland. >> that dogged her throughout,
8:22 pm
the idea that she has one through some sort of fluke or some sort of gaming or some way she understood a system somebody else didn't. >> there is a sense among a lot of people, and there still is, that first-place votes are the only true measure of a winner. >> people are hungry for change, they are before a different, more humane approach to criminal justice. >> and other ranked choice vote that is cited, the san francisco das race, even though chase boudin did receive the most first-place votes. >> the perception was he was only narrowly ahead and, therefore, the moderate candidates were going to pull the votes of moderate voters in go ahead of them and they didn't. the reason they didn't was he was the most different a candidate. the sense was something prevented something that we thought was going to happen from happening.
8:23 pm
>> there are results that do produce backlash. over time, even some of ranked choice voting's critics have decided to live with it. >> i have reconciled myself to it because i know it isn't going to change. it has these laudable goals appeared >> if you think about it, prior to ranked choice voting, 89% of oakland elections were decided in a june primary. >> democratic organizer, sean dugar points to payoffs like larger, more diverse electorates in november. as for people who are unhappy with elected results -- >> it is funny, right? we have had great candidates and we have had some not so great candidates elected under ranked choice voting. we've had great candidates and not so great candidates elected not under ranked the choice voting, right? >> the vast majority of them would say this works really well. where the candidate increased their ballot share each round. >> the seemingly odd outcomes are just that, they are outliners and a function of our
8:24 pm
current politics. like it or not. >> that has been beaten out of me. i got it, i understand it. >> you play the game with the rules as they are written, not the way they were the last the game or the way you might like to have them. you just play by the rules. we have obviously left out one significant example in all of this that, of course, the last oakland mayor's race. >> right now, we are ahead. >> lauren taylor, i was assigned to cover his election night event in oakland. i can tell you a lot of people thought lauren taylor was on his way to becoming the next mayor of oakland. it did not work out that way, sheng thao became the mayor and she is facing a recall election. let's go back through the other races we mentioned. chasa boudin has the most first-place votes. people were upset with the of compared he faced a
8:25 pm
recall and was removed from office. let's go back to jean quan. people may not remember this but there was a move to recall jean quan, it did not get enough signatures to get that on the ballot . there are savings with ranked choice voting but there is also a cost and that cost is clearly the perceived legitimacy in the polarizing, very close elections where people are unsure or frustrated or disappointed by the outcome. the next race, of course, here in san francisco, how will this play out? that is hard to say. if you look at a lot of ranked choice votes, voters don't always aligned the way people might think they would. they don't go from one candidate and then directly to another one who might share the views, they are a little less predictable than you might think they were. how does it out in san francisco? that is a good question. one thing for sure, people have been wrong about a lot of these races in
8:26 pm
the past, how it unfolds in san francisco. a huge question as we headed toward the election. new data revealed santa clara county has seen an uptick in homeless people. according to the nonprofit destination home, there was a 24% increase in people becoming homeless for the first time between 2022 and 2023, a jump of 9% in 2021 to 2022. there's more. sums up thursday because of the increase, they have households on a wait list. it is also taking people time to transition into permanent housing. >> a pedestrian was struck by a muni bus this afternoon and had to be pulled out from under the bus and was rushed to the hospital. this happened at the intersection of gary and a sonic street in the laurel heights just before 5:00 in the afternoon. the fire department says the pedestrian did not suffer life-threatening injuries. no one else was hurt in the incident. still ahead on this a
8:27 pm
special edition of cbs news bay area, at least one person has died from west nile virus this year in santa clara county. officials say they have the spray to kill the mosquitoes but not everybody is happy with the pesticides. plus, the residential candidate are ramping up their rhetoric and attacks. how former president trump is trying to distance himself from traveling with someone in the campaign. wildfires raging in southern california and the bay area. they need help. we got the latest on the fire fight. meantime, brian, i'm talking about a chance of some light rain coming on monday morning. first one of the season where we can track this. this will not be allowed. there are other impacts from this operating system, which you will notice more. it's going to be a lot cooler tomorrow. it
8:30 pm
now to the fire watch. a terrifying look at what fire crews are up against as they battled several fires in southern california. this video shows firefighters driving through large flames on the side of the road. it is the scene of the bridge fire in the angeles national forest, the largest fire in the state right now. more than 52,000 acres have burned. the fire is 3% contained. several bay area fire departments have deployed crews down south. three volunteer firefighters from napa are there to help put out the flames. folks are going back to their communities after being forced to evacuate from the bridge fire. in mt. baldy, 20 homes were destroyed. one home longed to bruce by. this is what was left of his home and truck. he made it out with his dogs. he says it happened so fast he was only able to grab a couple of shirts and documents.
8:31 pm
>> i got out of there, everything burned. i went back later on that night and i could just see the house just burning. they wouldn't let me go back any further. >> the north side of the bridge fire is still burning, they have held it on the south side. crews are focused on fighting the east side of that fire. meanwhile in nevada, crews are getting the upper hand in battling the davis fire that is burning northeast of lake tahoe. firefighters say they are on alert for hotspots because of high winds. the fire burned more than 5000 acres. that one is 76 percent contained. in the bay area, crews put out a fire along the alameda san joaquin county border. out west of 580 near the ultimate pass. the fire was only an acre but, nevertheless, it is a sign of how common fires are this time of year. unless you have rain coming through. >> the humidity levels will
8:32 pm
come up. think about the fire at night, we had a good onshore flow. humidity levels were really high. probably another reason that one didn't spread as fast. let's get into the details on that. as interesting as it is, obviously, when there is a chance of rain and it is the first one coming our way, the bigger impacts from what is, norway is actually going to be the cooldown you will experience tomorrow. the first thing i want to do is help visualize how some of us will drop 20 degrees tomorrow from where you work today. we will put this into perspective in terms of how cold air is going to start slinking our way from the gulf of alaska. we are looking at temperatures at 5000 feet above the ground. it is a great place to look if you want to see how is moving to the atmosphere. look at that big pool of blue over the gulf of alaska. anything that is yellow is warmer through the mid-latitudes and the red is
8:33 pm
showing where the warmth is. once the progression between now and tomorrow afternoon. so, we get a big pool of blue that spells down our way. even though it might be difficult to see, let me remove where the temperatures are so you can see where we are. we will watch that again. now we are still oriented, watch that pool of blue spill our way. this is why tomorrow's daytime highs will be in the low 70s. that is fast to change. it is not like a cold snap but it will be noticeably cooler tomorrow. then, there is another one coming. what happens as we advance this now, we are going to look toward the later part of next week after that. the atmosphere will be locked in this pattern so it will want to keep throwing us those pools of cool air. so, today, some of us did make it to 94 and the
8:34 pm
valleys. we are not doing that again, not for the next seven days and probably even longer. another aspect in terms of how things will play out for us tomorrow, the wind is going to pick up. when these systems come through, if you get a big pool of cool air, let's take the wide view because i want you to see how the winds will change. if you visualize the wind streams, very manageable. a light green on your shows you 20 mile-per-hour winds or so and they are not particularly oriented in a way that would be freshened them onshore. take a look at sunday's different. i just skipped ahead to tomorrow afternoon and you can see a stronger onshore influence. look at the color scheme back here. we have a lot of orange and red, showing you that these are strong northerly winds that are coming down with the big pool of cool air. those are the aspects you notice tomorrow, whether you get light rain or not. it will get wendy in the afternoon. it is not like a wind advisory day but it will be breezy and cool. let's get to the rain and we will visualize that now. what we are going to look at is the time frame from sunday night through monday morning. specifically, what you are about to see and hear in terms of where the futurecast is going to
8:35 pm
visualize rainfall is really looking at the hours between midnight monday morning through about 11:00 a.m. monday. this is more monday morning than anything else. it is not really super well organized. but, there is your chance as a fuel light showers that will come through for the first half of monday. the totals are really small. here's the best way. the best takeaway on what you did all that mean in terms of the light green we just saw move across the map? it's like 100 of an inch of rain if you get it. likely, if you do get this, it is possible you might sleep through it anyway. some of the hours are predawn, predawn hours . that is the first phase. this is monday. there is a chance with the next one, remember how i showed you another pool of cool air comes down here for wednesday and thursday of next week? that could bring its own share of
8:36 pm
maybe a fuel light showers with it as well but it appears to be the same story, where it wouldn't be a significant rain event, it would be a few drops of rain. i don't have any rain in the terrarium's. you get a nice week, these are inland numbers. we have not had a seven-day forecast in quite some time where you stayed 70s and 80s for just about all of it except monday. so, by next weekend, you are going to warm back up and you go back to the low and mid 90s. we are not done with that yet this is how you transition into fall. you've got six days coming now where temperatures will stay either 70s or 80s for most of the inland valleys. here are the numbers for the bay as well. okay, andrea nakano, over to you. been up in sports, the 49ers are in minnesota tonight. they will be looking for their first road win against the vikings since 1992 this weekend. they will have to do it without ok, 500 deluxe garden gnomes. wow. i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack. mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them.

8:40 pm
it seems that most of the 49ers are viral maladies, given their nonstop commercial presence on tv. >> has become a hollywood locker room? >> i don't know. we do the little commercials on the side. at the end of the day, we are football players first. we try to take care of business on the field. >> reporter: have you been impressed by any of the acting skills? >> brock purdy is the guy. he's on the tv a lot. >> once the order? $7.50 boneless wings? >> anyone who is a bad actor? >> i'm not the best. i would probably put me there, and not with the whole acting stuff. >> you know what they say, practice how you play. >> reporter: one player we haven't seen in a commercial just get is kicker jake moody. maybe that will change if he
8:41 pm
has more performances like monday night, which earned him nfc special teams player of the week. >> probably should have given him the game ball but one hit of the crossbar. >> he was disappointed michigan got their tails kicked. for him to not have a college hangover from that and go six for six, i love him for that. >> reporter: there will be a more intimidating crowd in minnesota with the chance for moody on sunday but his teammates enjoy the environment. >> it is one of the best atmospheres in the league. we know they will be fired up and ready to roll. >> it is one of the cooler environments. i can't lie about that. >> reporter: one of the 49ers biggest goals this week? stop justin jefferson. he was absent in this contest last year but will be suiting up this time around. >> thanks, matt. in college football, cal is hosting san diego state tonight with a shot to go 3-rolls around on the season for the

first time since 2019. we will have a recap of that game tonight at 11:00. san jose state looking to main perfect, hosting kennesaw state. quarterback emmett brown was locked in. second quarter he finds a star receiver nick nash up the middle for the 24 yard score. a monster game for nash. over 200 yards and three touchdowns. in the third, brown takes a deep shot into the end zone and somehow justin lockard comes down with, a 35 yard touchdown puts the spartans ahead by two, two scores and san jose state versus 31-10. the spartans play at penn state on friday. the a's in chicago taking on the white sox. they trailed for most of this game but fought back in the ninth inning. down one, zach galifianakis one in play to left, enough to drive in the game-tying run. shane lingle ears is out at the plate. the a's making this interesting. in the bottom of the ninth, andrew benintendi decides it with one swing, walks it off with a home run to right field. the white sox win 7-6. the a's
