Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders escaped injury after landing awkwardly on a low hit in the first half of the Buffaloes’ game against Kansas.
Sanders was knocked off his knees by defensive end Dean Miller after scrambling long and throwing an incomplete pass to Will Sheppard. Take a look at the hit that was questionable at best and dirty at worst.
A flag was raised on the field, but officials quickly said Miller’s hit did not stun the passer and Colorado was instead flagged for having the offensive line on the field when Sanders threw the ball.
The QB went to the sideline after the hit, but immediately returned to the game and did not miss the play. Colorado ended up scoring on the drive after two great catches by freshman wide receiver Drelon Miller. He had a fantastic falling grip on the sideline before capping the drive with a 19-yard TD catch that cut Kansas’ lead to 20-14.
The Jayhawks extended their lead before halftime and led 23-14 at the break. But that nine-point lead came thanks to three short field goals after Kansas failed to convert three of four trips into the red zone into touchdowns.
