When Deion Sanders said it was "personal" to face Nebraska, you better believe it felt that way.

Matt Rhule brought his Huskers team onto the field Saturday morning for a pregame meeting on the CU logo. A few of the Buffaloes players were warming up at the time with their rivals wandering around and taking in the majestic sights of Boulder.

One of the players who didn't take kindly to the disrespect was Shedeur Sanders. The Buffs leader stood in place and started getting loose with a couple of Huskers circling around. He waited for his moment and decided to flash his Rolex in the face of Nebraska receiver Billy Kemp, essentially showing him what time it was about to be.

A clever tactic in an underrated pregame moment for the "Red Letter" rivalry. One of the Nebraska coaches moved towards Sanders and de-escalated the situation before anything further happened as Shedeur laughed it off. But, hey, if you mess with the Bull, you're going to get the horns.

Sanders finished with 393 yards and three total touchdowns. It was a great "second act" for the Buffs QB, who put himself deeper in the Heisman conversation to start the season.
