Nebraska added fuel to the rivalry with Colorado by playing Shedeur Sanders’ song in their locker room following a decisive 28-10 win over the Buffaloes. The gesture, seen by many as a blatant act of disrespect, has quickly become one of the most talked-about moments in college football this season.

Shedeur Sanders, Colorado’s quarterback and son of head coach Deion Sanders, faced heavy criticism following the loss, with many pointing to the Buffaloes’ struggling offensive line as a key factor. Fans have been quick to defend Sanders, reminding critics that he has consistently refrained from publicly blaming his O-line, even when media members have tried to provoke him into doing so in the past.

The loss marks a reality check for Sanders and Colorado’s standout two-way player, Travis Hunter, as Nebraska celebrated its first significant victory in nearly a decade of struggling seasons. Frustrations were high among Colorado fans, who expected improvements in their offensive line play, an area they hoped Coach Deion Sanders would address in the offseason.

Adding to the post-game drama, Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola outperformed Sanders, leading to questions about Sanders’ ability to handle adversity. Sanders, clearly frustrated, responded to reporters’ questions with pointed comments, saying, “How many times did Raiola get touched?” This has sparked debate over whether Sanders lacks accountability, as many viewed his comments as deflecting blame onto his offensive line rather than owning up to the team’s shortcomings.

While Nebraska’s locker room antics have certainly stoked the flames of this budding rivalry, the fallout from the game has placed both Shedeur and Deion Sanders under intense scrutiny. As Colorado looks to bounce back, the question remains: can the Buffaloes protect their quarterback and silence the critics?
