In the midst of following up a historic debut with a strong showing on Saturday, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders took a moment to pay homage to his father, first-year Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders.
With Colorado leading Nebraska, 29–7, late in the fourth quarter, Sanders took in a six-yard touchdown run to bolster the 22-point lead. Moments later, the 21-year-old broke out his Hall of Fame dad’s iconic “Deion Shuffle” in the end zone as CU fans erupted in celebration.
Sanders’s well-timed tribute added another signature moment to a big day for the junior transfer, who added to his early case as a Heisman candidate after turning in nearly 400 yards against the Cornhuskers.
