Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders showed what he can do with the football in a big way during his first game of the year.
The son of Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders threw for 134 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter in Colorado’s season opener against North Dakota State on Thursday night.

Hunter made the short catch and then broke a tackle with no one else in front of him to run into the end zone, much to the delight of the Folsom Field crowd. But Sanders outdid himself on the next drive when two plays in, the QB launched a pass to Jimmy Horn Jr. and connected on a 70-yard touchdown.
