“The Time is Now for Shedeur Sanders” – NFL Hall-of-Famer Michael Irvin Impressed by Buffaloes’ QB Ahead of Crucial Clash for Coach Prime’s Men 

“Shedeur has never got the respect he deserves because he’s my son,” the father and Colorado Buffalo’s new head coach, Deion Sanders, said on an episode of the Pat McAfee Show. Deion Sanders, who is a former pro football and baseball player, was referring to the doubt that surrounded his son’s performance since the latter’s the coach’s son: “That’s just Prime’s son, he’s just giving him a pass, he’s just letting him ride.”

However, Sheduer Sanders’s debut season with the Colorado Buffs has been an incredible tale of high-level performance, where the 21-year-old completed 38 of 47 passes for 510 yards and four touchdowns. In Week 2, facing Nebraska, Shedeur continued his impressive streak, going 31-42 for 393 yards and two touchdowns. Will he be able to maintain the same for Oregon? Skip Bayless, Michael Irvin, and Keyshawn Johnson laid out the facts on Undisputed. 

Shedeur Sanders will be known more by his first name than his last 

“Until this moment Shedeur has been the coach’s son,” said Michael Irvin on Undisputed. But according to the American sports commentator, it is now time for “Shedeur Sanders to play out of his mind for Colorado to win Saturday vs. Oregon.”

If Shedeur Sanders is able to capitalize on the next two opportunities coming his way, the tables will turn, and he will have everyone identifying the 56-year-old as “that is Shedeur’s dad” from people identifying him as “Deion’s son.”

This week, the Pac-12 Colorado Buffaloes, led by Deion Sanders, are gearing up for a journey to Eugene as they prepare to face the 10th-ranked Oregon Ducks. The Colorado Buffs, however, will be playing without one of their principal players, who covers both offense and defense.

Travis Hunter, the versatile star for the Colorado Buffaloes, will be sidelined for three weeks due to an injury he suffered during their previous game against Colorado State. The 20-year-old cornerback and wide receiver sustained the injury following a hit by Colorado State Rams safety Henry Blackburn. Consequently, he will miss the upcoming matchups against Oregon and USC. However, this brings into sharper relief the performance of Shedeur Sanders, as much rests on him and his skills. 

The winning odds are against Prime’s Colorado Buffaloes 

Even though the Colorado Buddaloes under Coach Prime are on a 3-0 winning streak, their match on Saturday might pose a major threat. The Origins are the first true title holders and have had a 3-0 winning streak themselves in the league thus far. The odds are placed against the Buffs, with the Ducks more likely to win.

Shedeur Sanders has displayed remarkable skills and positioned himself as a contender in the Heisman Trophy race. With Sanders leading the offense, the Buffs have demonstrated the ability to put up significant points and are expected to be a competitive force in every game they participate in. However, Travis Hunter’s absence will be felt heavily by the team.

The Buffs have furnished Sanders with a plethora of dynamic options. Notable among them are wide receivers Xavier Weaver (with 25 receptions, 386 yards, and 2 touchdowns) and Jimmy Horn Jr. (with 26 receptions, 242 yards, and 2 touchdowns), both of whom transferred from South Florida.

Additionally, freshman running back Dylan Edwards has showcased his explosive capabilities with 136 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown, along with 14 receptions for 160 receiving yards and 3 touchdown catches in the Colorado offense. It is about time we witness Prime Time’s era transform into that of Sandures’.
