Shedeur Sanders: LaJohntay Wester made Hail Mary happen
Sanders’ Hail Mary raised plenty of eyeballs as Colorado got its first Big 12 win of the year. As for what he saw on the play, his goal was to avoid taking a sack. However, when his go-to guys didn’t get open, he found Wester – and the rest is history.
“Well I was definitely thinking I’m not gonna get sacked right here, so I told the running back make sure you secure the edge,” Sanders said talking though the last play of regulation. “I’m rolling out, as I’m rolling to the left … Basically O (Omarion Miller) and Will [Sheppard], they both went towards the middle of the field. Trav (Travis Hunter) came all the way across, like a deep over. And I’m like alright, I know I can fit this one but it wasn’t gonna be a tud.
“Then I feel the closing seconds, that d-end or something got through the line of scrimmage and he was chasing me. Then it was the final second and then I threw it up in like an area and then that was it, then Tay made it happen.”
