Video: Shedeur Sanders Says Colorado 'Definitely Sold' Bowl Game in Loss vs. BYU
January 3, 2025
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders' collegiate career may be over, but he definitely isn't past the Buffaloes' ugly 36-14 loss to BYU in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 28.
On the latest edition of his 2Legendary podcast, Sanders was asked about taking the field as a Colorado Buffalo for the last time (57-second mark).
"It didn't feel good, bro," Sanders responded. "We definitely sold out there. That game, we didn't play our best."
Sanders was then asked how it feels to be coached by his father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, for the last time.
"That's not really in my thoughts right now," Sanders responded. "It's more just the performance out there. That I'll say is a bummer right now for me personally."
San Antonio served as the location for a disastrous ending to an otherwise great season in Colorado. BYU led 20-0 at halftime and even went up 27-0 in the third quarter before the Buffaloes finally got on the board after Sanders found Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter for a 43-yard touchdown pass.
However, BYU then stormed right back with nine more points in the fourth for a 36-7 edge. Sanders hit Sav'ell Smalls on a two-yard touchdown pass with just over two minutes left for the final play of his collegiate career.
For the game, Sanders completed 16-of-23 passes for 208 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. It was a tough finish for a season where he threw for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns (10 interceptions), including 8.7 yards per attempt.
Sanders is on vacation now, but the NFL pre-draft process will come calling soon enough. As of now, the B/R NFL Scouting Department lists Sanders as the QB2 of the 2025 class behind Miami's Cam Ward and the No. 16 prospect overall.
