The Colorado football program will head into next weekend’s Big 12 opener 2-1 following a bounceback 28-9 win over the Colorado State Rams on Saturday. Known as the Rocky Mountain Showdown, the interstate matchup has become one of college football’s most talked about rivalries since the Colorado Buffaloes hired NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders as the program’s head coach before the 2022 season. After a thrilling 43-35 double-overtime win in last year’s matchup, plenty of trash talk from both sides led to this year’s rendition of the highly anticipated tilt.

However, Colorado stomped out their Mountain West foe, much to the pleasure of the Buffs’ faithful and quarterback Shedeur Sanders. A perennial first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders did not hide his disdain for his counterpart, CSU signal-caller Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, who called out Colorado football in a pregame interview. Nevertheless, college football fans did not appreciate the attitude displayed by Sanders, especially since he remains a top-end FBS gunslinger.

According to NFL Rookie Watch:

Shedeur Sanders REFUSED to shake the opposing team’s QB’s hands after beating them last night. Sanders reportedly then told the opposing QB that he “cannot” f*ck with him.

In a pregame interview, Colorado State Rams quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi spoke on last year’s matchup that ended in a double-overtime thriller. “They came out with that attitude and thought it was going to be a cakewalk,” said Fowler. He continued, saying, “They saw the reports, 27.5 points (Vegas spread), or whatever it was, and they got a rude awakening real quick. And I think it goes to show that the hype, the media train, all that, it only gets you so far.”

Colorado football passer Shedeur Sanders took exception to Fowler-Nicolosi’s remarks, playing an incredibly efficient football game. He finished the night 36-of-49 for 310 yards and four touchdowns. He did not throw an interception. Sanders exchanged words with Fowler Nicolosi in the postgame, most notably refusing to shake his hand. College football fans did not approve of his actions, regardless of Fowler-Nicolosi’s pregame statements, putting Shedeur Sanders on blast via social media:
