Deion Sanders dismisses idea Colorado could shut down Shedeur Sanders

The Colorado Buffaloes were bludgeoned Friday night on the road by the Washington State Cougars. The Cougars defended their home field, winning convincingly 56-14, and in the process, ended head coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes bowl season dreams.

With practically nothing left to play for on the schedule, Sanders does have the option of shutting down his star quarterback and son, Shedeur Sanders, for Colorado’s last game of the season. However, that doesn’t appear to be an option the Buffaloes headman is looking at currently. Following the loss to Washington State, Sanders addressed the possibility of shutting down his quarterback for the remainder of the season.

“Shedeur is not that kind of player that he wants to shut down,” said Sanders. “He wants to finish with his teammates. I’m pretty sure. I haven’t talked to him about it, but I’m pretty sure he wants to.”

Given the comments from Deion Sanders, it appears highly unlikely that Shedeur Sanders will be shut down in Colorado’s final game of the season on Nov. 25 against the Utah Utes. While on the outside, to some, it may seem like there’s nothing left for the Buffaloes to play for, that is not how the Colorado head coach and star quarterback view things.

Kavosiey Smoke says Colorado ‘could’ve went undefeated,’ if not for ‘selfish ball’

No one else is saying it — so Kavosiey Smoke did. The former Kentucky running back has barely seen the field for Colorado this season but isn’t a fan of what his team has been producing this year.

Smoke believes the Buffs could have done something special in Deion Sanders’ first season in Boulder, but after Friday’s 56-14 loss to Washington State, the senior running back spoke up on the issues he’s seen behind the scenes.

“Simple fact bru we could’ve went undefeated this year. Too much selfish ball going on man can’t win like that. Gotta play and win as a team but if u go the other route u get results like this,” Smoke tweeted.

Instead of being 11-0, the Buffs are 4-7 on the season and have lost seven of their last eight games after an incredible 3-0 start that saw Colorado ranked as high as No. 19 in the country before getting their tails handed to them 42-6 against Oregon. Everything has gone downhill ever since.
