Aight fellas, get ya blood pressure medicine going. It’s game day!
Sanders truly was outstanding in every respect last Saturday night against the Bears. He finished the overtime classic with 341 yards and two touchdowns on 25-of-41 passing. Sanders also was forced to run often, and he tallied another 26 yards and a touchdown on the ground."Just finished all 94 plays of Colorado Offense vs Baylor. Even excluding the Hail Mary, Shadeur was sensational. His receivers just don’t have to work for the ball the way a lot of other prospects make their guys work. Best pure passer (anticipation, placement, throwing guys open, etc.) in the ‘25 class!"

The hype is building for 2025 NFL draft prospect Shedeur Sanders, who has been lauded by one of the most prominent draft gurus in the game today.
ESPN's Todd McShay sent a message to his followers on X Thursday after watching the tape from Sanders' brilliant performance against Baylor. In it, he called Sanders the "best pure passer" in the 2025 NFL draft class.

Stats aside, it was how he got those numbers that truly tells the story. Time and again, Sanders made big plays in big moments -- especially in the second half and overtime -- to pull his team away from the jaws of defeat and toward victory. Nobody will soon forget the Hail Mary touchdown that forced overtime with zeroes on the clock in the fourth quarter.
All that to say: It's hard to argue against what McShay concluded about Sanders' passing abilities. He puts outstanding touch on his throws, has a penchant for throwing his receivers open, is never shy about taking shots downfield when he thinks there is an advantage, and never backs down from a challenge.
These are all qualities NFL teams covet in a quarterback. With that in mind it's no wonder Sanders' draft stock appears to be heating up.

You said Colorado would beat Nebraska if they played again. We will see today because UCF is the exact same team Nebraska was.I’m ready, can’t be in Coach Malzhan office and the facility rocking my jimmy horn jersey
it is what it is

Strong upfront with a physical running game.
I think UCF rolls 48 to 13
They pretty much the same team. If they win your theory may be correct. If they win today. I only see Utah or OSU challenging them.UCF ain’t Nebraska and Nebraska ain’t UCF no matter what happens
I was supposed to be at this game.
Bad technique on the DB.GOTDAMN!!!! Sheppard w/ an amazing catch!!
.....the fuck does that have to do w/ the catch?!Bad technique on the DB.
The DB had position and Sanders through a bad ball. The DB made the mistake of trying for the interception......the fuck does that have to do w/ the catch?!
Bro that shit was amazing, from my view the pass was on pernt.....the fuck does that have to do w/ the catch?!
Hopefully they hang 60 on UCF!!Idk know how the 2nd half will go but one team looks way better the other and I’m not being bias
Self report for ncaa sanctions on upcoming games this season. HahahahahaI will be at the UCF game also but I keep my expectations real. They ain’t beating UCF based on what we have seen in these first 4 games.
