Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders finished his second start with 393 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns, as the Buffaloes breezed past Nebraska, 36-14 on Saturday, improving to 2-0 on the season, while the Cornhuskers fell to 0-2.
— Two games into the Coach Prime era and the bar has already been raised at Colorado.
After upsetting national runner-up TCU last week, the No. 22 Buffaloes cruised to a 36-14 win against longtime rival Nebraska in the first regular season home game under coach Deion Sanders.
« We didn’t just want to win, we wanted to dominate, » Sanders said. « The first half, we weren’t dominant, the second half, we got it together and we began to dominate. We wanted to really impose our will. »
All week, Sanders preached to him team how the game against the Cornhuskers would be « personal. » He asked each of them to find a way to make it personal for them and to let that carry into Saturday morning. For Sanders’ son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the Huskers made it easy.
« It was extremely personal, » Sanders said. « We go out there to warm up and you got the head coach for the other team (Matt Rhule) trying to stand in the middle of the Buff.
