Fans, alumni and media came out to Folsom Field on Saturday for the Colorado Buffaloes’ spring game. The game was sold out, and the world got a nationally televised look at new head coach Deion Sanders’ program.
Coach Prime’s son and first-team quarterback Shedeur Sanders was one of the biggest players to keep an eye on after he followed his father from Jackson State.
His first set of stats was impressive for the Buffs, and hopefully, this is a sign of more big things to come. Shedeur Sanders went 16-for-19 with 219 yards and two passing touchdowns. On top of that, he added a rushing score as well, which is terrific news for offensive coordinator Sean Lewis.
Sanders connected with Travis Hunter on a touchdown pass and he also threw a deep ball dime to Montana Lemonious-Craig, who also showed out on Saturday.
Yes, it was the spring game, but Sanders flashed the entire package on Saturday. Coming off of a neverending Buffs QB cycle, it’s refreshing to see somebody step up and throw with such ease.
For his “first” appearance in a Buffs uniform, Sanders played well, and there will be a ton of hype and buzz surrounding him by the time the 2023 season kicks off.
