A big day for Washington State and Colorado Buffs! Both teams come in with their losing streak and Bowl eligibility at stake. As the buildup increases, pressure seems to have gotten the best of the Buffs as their star QB Shedeur Sanders got sacked walking into the first quarter by Cougars’ edge RJ Stone Jr.
As Shedeur Sanders is aiming for nothing less than the Heisman Trophy this season, the QB has to pour his mind and soul into this game. However, being sacked this early in the game can surely prove to be a pull-back in terms of motivation. Moreover, it was not the only factor that could affect Sanders’ performance today.

As Stone JR. sacked Shedeur Sanders, it was nothing less than a celebration for them. A sarcastic celebration, specifically. Stone Jr. and his teammates mocked the Buffs QB, in a way he remembers very fondly. The Washington State mocked the Buffs QB with the signature Shedeur Sanders watch flex.

As of now, Washington State has gained the upper hand with a third-down sack for a three-and-out on the opening drive. Along with this, their touchdown in the first quarter has elevated their score to 7 while Colorado is yet to score any points. Colorado, as well as Deion Sanders, will certainly have to give their best today if they want to bag the game and reserve a spot in the Bowl.
Colorado fans are waiting for a solid comeback from Shedeur, where the QB snaps the opponents back in their place with a game-changing move, with, of course, his signature watch flex. The watch flex has become a popular symbol, thanks to Shedeur Sanders, which is not only limited to Colorado games.

The QB and his signature watch flex have gradually made their way up not only in the NCAA but also NFL and even Hollywood. Shedeur Sanders’s $70,000 Audemars Piguet 30-carat crystal studded watch has grabbed the attention of celebrities and fans alike. Rick Ross and DJ Khaled named the flex ‘The Shedeur’.
Following this, Jets‘ QB Aaron Rodgers and his teammates imitated ‘The Shedeur’ after they bagged a 31-21 win in week 5 against the Denver Broncos. Jets’ Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall were thrilled like a child in flexing their watches to the Denver crowd. That too, without wearing one watch. Moreover, Raiders wide receiver Devante Adams was soon to join the wagon after his team defeated the Packers.
