It’s an unfortunate day for Deion Sanders since he witnessed a loss to the team’s arch-rivals along with his son suffering a broken arm during the game. The Colorado-Nebraska game was set for an epic clash of the giants but unfortunately, the Buffaloes had to bow out, with Shilo being one of the martyrs. Shilo Sanders, the safety for the Colorado Buffaloes, had to be taken out of the game after he collided with Dante Dowdell, the RB of the Cornhuskers, in an attempt to stop a 13-yard run. After this, more and more players from Colorado suffered injuries, including Isaiah Hardge and Chidozie Nwankwo. In light of this, Deion issued an endearing message for Shilo Sanders and inspired him to turn to religious devotion to heal faster and stronger.

The Buffs community is holding its breath today, rallying behind Shilo Sanders after he was taken off the field during the game against the Cornhuskers. The standout safety for the Colorado Buffaloes exited after the first half, and his absence from the field since has sparked concern and uncertainty. Fans and teammates alike have been left wondering about his condition—no pun intended.

Now, his father and head coach, Deion Sanders, has spoken out, issuing an emotional and heartfelt message about Shilo’s recovery. In typical Coach Prime fashion, Deion invoked faith and resilience, calling on God’s healing powers to guide his son’s journey back to health. As the Buffs nation prays for Shilo’s swift recovery, the sense of family and unity surrounding the team has never felt stronger.

With Deion’s words of hope and the entire Buffs community behind him, the belief is clear: Shilo Sanders will rise again.

Deion took to Instagram on 8th September and wrote out a lengthy caption for Shilo’s well-being. It read, “Praying for a SPEEDY recovery regarding the injury to @shilosanders. Trust God son, you may not understand it now but u will. Stay strong and never doubt him ways and his timing. You’ve always overcame adversity & this ain’t no different. #ProudDad LOVE YA SON! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #21Reasons” It is unclear whether Shilo will be able to return for their Week 3 game against the Colorado State Rams but the fans are hoping for the best. With that being said, let’s take a look at what Deion had to say about the team’s lousy performance and the poor O-line issues.

Coach Prime addresses the team’s disastrous loss

The Buffaloes took two hits today. One, on their credibility and another on the roster. The Buffs had a 3-time winning streak against the Cornhuskers before today’s game shattered that record. Coach Prime’s new and revamped squad certainly needs major improvements ahead of their game against the CSU Rams, but for now, the HC is taking all the accountability for the Buffaloes’ incompetence.

Addressing the problems in the team’s playing style, Deion said, “Protections were a problem. You know, I’m trying to be polite and say it, because you know I can say the same thing you’re thinking, but if I say it, you’d say I’m throwing my guys up under the bus. I’m not doing that whatsoever. Protections were a problem. We gotta figure out a way to prevent that and do a better job with that.” The Buffaloes are currently in the 12th position in the Big 12 and they’ll have to do a lot better than today’s performance in order to ensure their dreams of playoffs stay alive.
