Rival Coach Says Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders Takes Sacks to Pad Stats, per Report

On paper and in game action, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has excelled so far this season. The Buffaloes signal-caller has completed 74.8% of his passes, throwing 15 touchdown passes against two interceptions.

“I think they want to rack up some stats for Shedeur. He really holds on to the ball a long time. I think he takes sacks because he doesn’t want to affect his completion percentage,” a Pac-12 assistant coach who suggested Colorado “had some tells” told The Athletic in an article published Thursday.
