Sports Illustrated has reported that star quarterback Shedeur Sanders of the Colorado Buffaloes is dealing with a fractured back. This unforeseen setback raises questions about the team’s future performance and the overall direction under the leadership of head coach Deion Sanders.

This revelation comes on the heels of investigative efforts by writers Daniel Libit and Novy Williams, who delved into the CU Buffs Football program. Their research brought to light a concerning aspect—the team ALLEGEDLY played multiple games without adequate disability and critical injury coverage. The consequences of this apparent oversight were evident in the Buffaloes’ dismal performance, losing their last six games and concluding the season with a disappointing 4-8 record in Coach Deion Sanders’ inaugural year.

The fallout from these revelations has been swift and impactful. Coach Deion Sanders, who initially brought excitement and high expectations to the program, now finds himself under intense scrutiny. High school recruits, including the towering 6’5 #1 ranked quarterback Antwaan Hill Jr., have chosen to decommit from the Colorado Buffaloes, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the team’s ability to attract and retain top talent.

As the Buffaloes grapple with both on-field setbacks and off-field challenges, the fractured back of Shedeur Sanders becomes a metaphor for the fractures within the program itself.

The road to redemption for Colorado starts now, and the decisions made in the coming months will undoubtedly shape the future trajectory of this promising football program.
