Is Shedeur Sanders' absence a sign of his dedication, or is there more to the story?

The CU Buffs went on a bye week, and Deion Sanders went to Texas, his home, for a few days. “It is vacation for me, I go and really relax and recalibrate my mind,” said Coach Prime. But that does not mean the Buffs are not on his mind. It is better to say it stays all the time. Colorado Buffaloes are set to go against the Kansas State in their Week 7 matchup after enjoying a much-deserved bye-week. The Buffs are 4-1, and all eyes are on Coach Prime and his team. Can they carry on their momentum? Well, before we get to see our favorite Buffs’ stars in action on Saturday, the Colorado family got a glimpse of Coach Prime, albeit with a surprising omission.

Before facing no. 18 Kansas State, Deion Sanders is taking a few moments to rejuvenate his energy levels. The best possible way for him is to spend some quality time with his family. Any guesses where they are chilling?

The pregame show network posted a video of Deion Sanders enjoying the Mississippi State Fair, which takes place in Jackson, Mississippi. But where is Shedeur Sanders? We can see Deion Sanders enjoying a day at the state fair along with his sons, Shilo and Deion Jr. We can feel the lively atmosphere through the screen by looking at Coach Prime and his sons engaging in various fair activities and rides.

But what caught the attention of the fans is that Shedeur is absent from this family outing. Fans are curious about his whereabouts or commitments during this fun event. However, the main focus remains on Coach Prime, Shilo, and Deion Jr., who are having a great time at the fair.

Is Coach Prime just a game away from the Big 12 title?

Analyst J. D. Pickell spilled some beans on the Buffs’ position in the conference during On3’s latest episode. “Kansas state going to Colorado. Both these teams are off a bye. Kansas State is a 5.5-point favorite on the road, but y’all, this is going to be one that’s a lot of fun. I did not think this game would be as important as it is now,” Pickell said.

Right now, the Buffs hold a second position in the Big 12, and Deion Sanders could not let them go away after this game, which makes it crucial for them to grab a win. This can ultimately lead them to be No. 1 in the Big 12. However, Sanders and his boys should play carefully against the wildcats.

Kansas State, just like the Buffs, are also 4-1, with their only loss coming against No. 14 BYU. In that game, the Wildcats were outplayed throughout the game, but they have bounced back since then. The offense pretty much flows through two weapons- QB Avery Johnson and running back DJ Giddens. The latter rushed for 187 yards in the Wildcats’ game against Oklahoma State. The Buffs’ defense has struggled against offenses with strong run games.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Shedeur Sanders' absence a sign of his dedication, or is there more to the story?

Have an interesting take?

But, we all know who’ll get all the eyeballs. There will be a lot on Shedeur Sanders and Colorado’s Heisman candidate Travis Hunter’s shoulders. However, if they were able to pull out a winning streak for three games this season, the odds are higher for the Buffs to be victorious against Kansas State.
