Shedeur Sanders was Colorado’s starting quarterback in 2023 and 2024. In his two seasons in Boulder, Sanders threw for 7,364 yards, 64 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. He hold the FBS record for the best career completion percentage for a quarterback at 71.8 percent. 

Sanders’s best season was in 2024. He threw for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns. He was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. 

Heading into the NFL Draft, many thought Sanders would be one of the first quarterbacks taken in the first or second round. He ended up falling all the way to the fifth round, where he would be selected by the Cleveland Browns. Sanders is currently the third string quarterback in Cleveland behind Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel.

With this home loss, Colorado drops to 2-3 on the season and 0-2 in Big 12 conference play. Things won’t get easier for “Coach Prime” as the Buffaloes now travel to take on the 3-1 TCU Horned Frogs. This is the site where Deion Sanders made his debut as Colorado coach in 2023.

In this game, Colorado shocked the college football world, beating the Horned Frogs in their building by a final score of 45-42.

Colorado hopes that they can create some of the same magic as the second half of their season nears. Will they be able to pick up their first Big 12 conference win of the season and get back to .500 this year?
