Deion Sanders began his second season at Colorado on a winning note on Thursday. The Buffs beat North Dakota State with a 31-26 record. However, the game wasn’t easy for the Buffs, as the Bisons fought bravely as they went into halftime with a 20-14 lead.

However, with two touchdowns, the Colorado Buffaloes stormed back into the game and began the year with a 1-0 record. While fans are busily hyping up the connection between Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, after winning the game, a Michigan alum labeled this game as distorting.

Behind the scenes of the CU Buffs vs. NDSU game

In the 2024 season of college football, the CU Buffs vs. NDSU game would be one of the most exciting games for fans, according to CFB analysts across the country. This is because both teams went to showcase their prowess and impact on the Big 12. But the situation turned different, as per the post-game scenario. On August 30, sports columnist Jason Whitlock shared a post on his X account with the bold caption, “The biggest bias is the way they second-guessed a no-holding call on NDSU.” Moreover, he mentioned, ” (Travis) Hunter Hasn’t Gotten Away.”

After this post by the Michigan alum, fans started to criticize Shedeur Sanders and Co. and even mentioned Jason Whitlock. A fan posted, “Is this the single most biased called a game in memory?? Should we just give Sjadeur the heisman?” The game was labeled “biased” as Buffs “didn’t ask their (NDSU) ref expert about the two clear offensive.” Shedeur’s achievements remain acknowledged despite critics. So, let’s concentrate on the dedication and hard work of the Buffs’ top-rated QB. 

Shedeur Sanders is a No.1 overall pick for the 2025 NFL Draft

One NFL scout praised Shedeur’s hard work, saying, “He’s bringing a bigger frame this year, and that’s a huge plus for us. He’s been able to sustain more contact and is harder to bring down.” Therefore, you know why fans and even coaches support this guy’s move forward.

When discussing Sanders’s stellar performance, we must also mention Travis Hunter. Next week, this duo will face Nebraska, which will be an enormous challenge for the Buffs. Let’s wait and see what they bring this year.
