Shedeur Sanders helped his team take an early lead over the Baylor Bears with a 2-yard rushing touchdown, giving Colorado a 7-3 lead with 1:58 left in the first quarter.

Sanders demonstrated his composure and efficiency by starting the game off perfectly, completing all six of his pass attempts for 59 yards. His accurate passes set the tone for the Buffaloes as they marched down the field on an impressive 11-play, 75-yard run. The offensive drive was capped by Sanders’ decisive drive into the end zone, showcasing not only his arm but also his ability to contribute on the ground.

Colorado’s offense tried to balance their attack, especially when it started raining at Folsom Field. With slippery conditions looming, the Buffaloes made a big effort to incorporate the running game to keep Baylor’s defense off balance and prevent them from focusing on Sanders’ passing skills. Despite the wet conditions, Sanders remained alert and calm, executing the attack with composure.

The hit was crucial early in the game as it gave Colorado momentum and confidence to the offense. Sanders, the team’s linchpin under coach Deion Sanders, showed why he’s one of the most promising quarterbacks in college football by using both his arms and legs to secure a lead.
