Alejandro Mata can not be iced!?

In a post-match interview, a reporter asked Mata how he managed to tackle and deliver the winning shot even after an icing attempt by Arizona. Mata replied almost instantly, ?I got Ice in my veins man?You can?t ice something that?s already iced.? An icey comeback to an icy situation. Colorado?s Coach Pime later addressed the situation saying, “You can call a timeout and freeze him all you want,” Deion Sanders said. “That don’t mean nothing to Mata. That’s who he is,? reestablishing the faith he and his team members have in the kicker.?

In the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, Colorado advanced to field goal range for Mata after quarterback Shedeur Sanders connected with wide receiver Javon Antonio on a single play, gaining 43 yards. While they couldn’t move farther down the field, this advantageous field position allowed Mata to line up for the game-winning field goal.?

However, Arizona attempted to ice his efforts by calling a timeout right before he managed to take his shot. But Mata was able to maintain his composure before hitting the ball home with a game-winning-43-yard field goal. This explains the very reason why he was brought to the Colorado Program by Prime Time in the first place.?
