Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders escapes injury after questionable low hit

Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders escaped injury after landing awkwardly on a low hit in the first half of the Buffaloes’ game against Kansas.

Sanders was taken out in the knees by defensive end Dean Miller after he wobbled for a long time and fired an incomplete pass to Will Sheppard. Take a look at the hit, which was questionable at best and dirty at worst.

A flag was thrown on the play, but officials quickly said Miller’s hit was not hard on the ball, and Colorado was instead flagged for having an offensive lineman down the field when Sanders threw the ball.

The QB went to the sideline after the hit, but immediately returned to the game and did not miss a play. Colorado ended up scoring on the drive after two great catches by freshman wide receiver Drelon Miller. He had a great falling grab on the sideline before capping the drive with a 19-yard TD catch that cut Kansas’ lead to 20-14.

The Jayhawks added to the lead before halftime and took a 23-14 margin into halftime. However, the nine-point lead came thanks to three short field goals after Kansas failed to convert three of its four red zone trips into touchdowns.
