Shedeur Sanders secured his spot in the Heisman running with another outstanding performance. The Colorado Buffaloes QB led his team to victory over in-state rival Colorado State on Saturday night.

An unbelievable final sequence of the game with Sanders pulling off a 98-yard scoring drive that included a two-point conversion with 40 seconds remaining to force overtime. 'SS2' was asked what motivated him in the 43-35 win and he gave a shout out to his NFL legend and mentor.

“All I was thinking is Brady mode,” Sanders said after the game. “That’s it, simple. Brady mode, that’s it. They left too much time out there.”

Tom Brady has worked with Sanders going back to his high school days outside of Dallas. He's not only a family friend by way of his dad's relationship with the fellow GOAT, but Brady actually coaches Sanders by breaking down his game film. Sanders said he would be texting him shortly after the win. 

“I just want to go Shedeur mode at some point in life. Great win,” said Brady on a Facebook post.

Sanders finished the game going 38-of-47 for 348 yards, four touchdowns and an interception. He has throw for 1,251 yards with Colorado improving to 3-0 on the season.
