Shedeur Sanders is lucky to be able to walk right now.
The Colorado Buffaloes quarterback took a nasty hit that left fans in shock, given that it wasn’t penalized.
Sanders made a throw after escaping multiple sack attempts but could not get out of the way after a Kansas Defender dove straight for his knees.
The QB stayed down for some time while the refs decided what to do. They eventually determined that no roughing the passer foul had occurred.
