Did Deion Sanders Jr. cross the line, or was he just defending his brothers like any of us would?

Coach Prime made sure his team came with a banger after their bye week. Week 10 revived their playoff chances, but this is college football, and dynamics change every week. This Saturday, a lot happened in the highly anticipated game of Colorado Buffaloes vs. Texas Tech. While Shilo Sanders celebrated his touchdown with his father’s NFL dance moves. Who would have guessed that the game would end in controversy?

Everything just happened in a span of a minute. Shilo Sanders scored six points by recovering a fumble. But after the celebration in the end zone, a Texas Tech ball boy tried to take the ball from Shilo. Ahhh…things got messed up there. Shedeur, Shilo’s younger brother, was beside him, and he did not like that behavior. Soon, while he was approaching the ballboy, Deion Sanders Jr. stepped in and tried to defend his brothers.

Junior did not hold back and confronted the Texas Tech employee right there. But was his way of handling the situation justified? The Instagram account Rivals.com shared a heated conversation in which Junior was seen pushing and yelling. He also said, “F***k You,” just not that after the video went viral, people started commenting that his offensive language included racial slurs.

Although he was trying to defend his brothers, fans did not like his behavior. We have often seen him taking sides for his brothers whenever someone pounces on them or criticizes them. But it looks like this went off the board, and now people are criticizing him for the way he handles the situation.

We know it was the final quarter, and Texas Tech was losing. Did the ball boy try to take the ball out of frustration, or was he only doing his job? Till junior makes any comment about the controversy, let’s discuss the highlights from their recent win.

Colorado Buffaloes shine again

7-2! The Buffs are one of the serious Big 12 teams with their impressive victory. Deion Sanders and the staff are on the right track. If we go back to last year, all of us know how disappointing the result was, but this season, the approach has been different. Every week, they are improving and leveling up their game.

What’s your perspective on:

Did Deion Sanders Jr. cross the line, or was he just defending his brothers like any of us would?

Have an interesting take?

So far, quarterback Shedeur Sanders has showcased his abilities and won games for his team. Similar to this Saturday, he threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score. No doubt why he is the top prospect for the 2025 NFL draft. On the other hand, Deion’s two-way star Travis Hunter caught nine passes for 99 yards, scored a touchdown and helped the Buffs beat Texas 41-27.

Shedeur also completed 30 out of 43 passes for 291 yards. This time, it was Shilo who stood out. Did you expect that? That was a smooth score though! He recovered the fumble in the end zone when only 51 seconds were left on the board. You know what was the highlight of the game? His celebration. In quintessential Prime fashion.

With their victory, the Buffs marked their third consecutive victory, and now they are standing at 5-1 in the Big 12. Deion Sanders and his squad are not one step closer to the football playoffs. However, they still have plenty of football to play. Let’s see if they make any changes to their approach.

Have something to say?
