SHEDEUR WITH A HAIL MARY TD TO FORCE OT 🔥🔥
THIS GAME IS ABSURD.
Sanders’ 43-yard pass to LaJohntay Wester and the extra point from Alejandro Mata evened the score as time expired.

Shedeur Sanders putting two balls in a row from 50 yards away absolutely on the money in that situation and under that pressure is just dumb. Holy smokes

Shedeur Sanders is as prime time as they come. The dude is just incredible in the clutch.
The game-saving throw marked Sanders’ second touchdown of the night.
He finished the victory with 341 yards and no interceptions on 25-of-41 passing.
Sanders headed into the Week 4 game leading all college quarterbacks with 85 completions for 999 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions.
Although those stats included Sanders’ 445-yard, four-touchdown season opening win over North Dakota State, the completed Hail Mary pass against Baylor was arguably Sanders’ most impressive play of the season so far.

Shedeur Sanders is amazing. Sacked at least three times on this possession with game on line and throws for tying TD on final play. https://t.co/2Q2a651fAw

Shedeur Sanders maybe the best pure pocket passer in CFB. That pass to tie the game with 0 time left was the definition of clean.
don’t tempt me. @kirayoshikage5_
Shedeur Sanders ball placement and accuracy might be unmatched in college cause back to back throws on the money down 7. The first one was dropped but still a great throw. ðŸ˜ðŸ”¥

Shedeur Sanders is a consistent crunch time contributor..ain’t no way around it. #CUBuffs
The B/R NFL Scouting Department did not project Sanders as a top round pick in their early 2025 NFL mock draft, but that could change by the end of the season if Sanders’ stock continues to rise.
The Colorado quarterback is expected to enter the 2025 NFL draft alongside other Buffaloes including fellow star Travis Hunter.

Shedeur Sanders just made a Hail Mary TD pass to tie the game that will be played on his NFL tape

Disrespect on Shedeur Sanders needs to stop. Dude is a legit QB prospect. Should be a 1st round pick in 2025. #Colorado has a 3-1 record and that happened due to the late-game heroics of Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. Wow, what a game that was for Colorado!
Sanders and the Buffaloes are back in action on the road next Saturday as Big 12 play begins against UCF.
