REPORT: Big 12 Makes Final Ruling On Shedeur Sanders’ Punishment After He Shoved A Referee During Loss vs. Kansas
Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders was seen on camera shoving a referee during Saturday’s game against Kansas.
The incident occurred in the second half of the game when Sanders got involved in a heated altercation with Kansas defenders.
After Shedeur Sanders was sacked in the third quarter of Saturday’s game against Kansas, players from both sides came together and exchanged words.
Amidst the chaos, Sanders shoved referee Kevin Mar.
Fox rules analyst Mike Pereira said on the broadcast that Sanders was ‘lucky’ he wasn’t thrown out of the game.
He escaped then, but there had been calls of him being suspended because of his actions.
The Colorado football team fell to conference rival Kansas on Saturday, but their quarterback is not going anywhere.
Shedeur Sanders will not face suspension over his shove of a ref during Colorado’s Week 13 loss to Kansas on Saturday, according to Buffzone.com’s Brian Howell.
The incident is being “handled internally with CU,” according to Howell’s report.
“There were a few articles this weekend about Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders facing a possible suspension for shoving a ref Saturday vs. Kansas,” wrote Howell. “There will be no suspension. Talked to a Big 12 source who told me that’s being “handled internally with CU.”
Shedeur Sanders And HC Deion Not On The Same Page
Colorado head coach Deion Sanders admitted that his Buffaloes team became “intoxicated with success” after a brutal defeat on the road against Kansas.
“We started smelling ourselves a little bit,” Sanders told reporters. “That’s what I just told our team. We got intoxicated with the success. We got intoxicated with the multitude of articles and the assumption that we’re this and the assumption that we’re that. And we did not play CU football. Therefore, we got our butts kicked.”
The 8-3 Buffaloes are having a great year, but due to the loss, they no longer control their destiny ahead of the college football playoffs.
Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders did not agree with his father’s comments.
Sanders completed nearly 80% of his passes for 266 yards and three touchdowns in the loss against Kansas.
A reporter asked Shedeur how the team “sobers up” after Deion’s “intoxicated with success” remarks.
The 22-year-old QB replied, “No comment.”
