On Saturday, the Colorado Buffaloes suffered their first-season loss to the rival Nebraska Cornhuskers. The game wasn’t particularly close, as the final score was 28-10, and quarterback Shedeur Sanders is already deflecting the blame.
In an interview after the game, he blamed his own offensive lineman a lot. “Of course, whenever you’re able to run the ball consistently, then that opens up the pass,” he told reporters after the game. “But you gotta understand what your team is good at. Why would we keep running the ball if we get in a situation where it’s a must get and we don’t get it?”
Sanders certainly might have a point, too, considering his stats didn’t match up to what he’s proven capable of.
He completed 23 of 38 passes for 244 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The big headline, though, was that he was sacked a total of five times. It can be hard to get into a groove when constant pressure gets through.
Sanders also wasn’t lying when mentioning the run game was practically nonexistent. The Buffaloes’ leading rusher was Dallan Hayden, who had 32 yards on five carries.
The Colorado Buffaloes And Shedeur Sanders Start Season 1-1
The Buffaloes started the season with a close 31-26 win against the North Dakota State Bison after an NDSU hail mary fell just short of the endzone.
Many weren’t convinced about Colorado’s ability to compete against higher-level opponents, which became apparent against Nebraska.
If Colorado wants to even consider making the playoffs, it will likely need a perfect season from here on out, and Shedeur Sanders will have to play at a Heisman level. If not, the Deion experiment could be very short-lived.

Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce all but confirmed that he’ll never come out of retirement after revealing a remarkable offseason body transformation.
Though he was still at the top of his game last year, Jason Kelce decided to hang up the cleats on his illustrious career that will lead to a spot in the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
Because Kelce was playing at a high level in his age-36 season, many fans can’t help but wonder if he’d come out of retirement and return to the Eagles — especially if they’re in Super Bowl contention.
But during an interview with the Associated Press, Jason Kelce made it clear that a comeback is not happening. Kelce cited that the Eagles won’t be calling him back after his drastic offseason weight loss:
“They’re not going to call me to come back and play center at 260 pounds, and I’m moving on to the next thing and I’m excited to watch Cam (Jurgens). I really think Cam is going to be tremendous this year. He’s going to really show people how great of a player he is.
He was good for us last year at right guard and he’s going to flourish at center. And for me personally, my days of playing are just done and I do not foresee any scenario taking place other than maybe medicine inventing a way to get rid of arthritis that I would ever entertain coming back at all anymore.”
