Saturday night was not a good one for Shedeur Sanders and the Colorado Buffalo.
The good news for Deion Sanders is that his team has played much better in the second half of its first two games this season. However, the team is looking a little bit like a carbon copy of the 2023 team that struggles on defense and offensive line.
Colorado’s defense pitched a shutout of its own in the second half against Nebraska, but it did not really matter since the team was already down 28-0 at halftime, and Shedeur Sanders and the offense could get nothing going.
Colorado fell behind 28-0 at halftime en route to a 28-10 road defeat to Nebraska, and at the end of the game, it was time for some trolling.
Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola had an excellent performance for the Cornhuskers in only his second career start.
He completed 23-of-30 attempts for 185 passing yards and one passing touchdown.
Following the game, Barstool’s Will Compton posted a photo featuring Dylan Raiola mocking Shedeur Sanders’ signature pose in the locker room, holding his arm up with a watch on it.

Shedeur Sanders finished the game with 244 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and one interception, per his stats on ESPN.
However, at one point, he had to leave the game and was taken to the locker room late in the fourth quarter.
Shilo Sanders also had to leave this game with a reported broken forearm, which may have him down for several weeks.
Colorado Buffaloes Quarterback Shedeur Sanders Might Be In For A Long Season Again
Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders is two games into the season, and it appears he might be taking even more bumps and bruises in 2024, just like he did in 2023.
Sanders was 23-of-38 for 244 yards, but he was constantly pressured, taking sacks and ten quarterback hits.
He also took a massive helmet-to-helmet hit that got Nebraska linebacker Mikai Gbayor ejected for targeting.
The offensive line needs to be much better if they want Shedeur Sanders to stay healthy this year.
