**Boulder, CO** – After a week of public scrutiny following a performance that saw him sacked six times, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders led his team to a decisive 28-9 victory over Colorado State. In a surprising move, Sanders brought his entire offensive line to the post-game press conference, publicly praising their efforts and thanking them for protecting him.

“Dinner on me,” Hunter said to his offensive line. “Wherever y’all boys want to go. I got y’all.”

Sanders, the son of head coach Deion Sanders, was sacked only once in the win, completing 36 of 49 passes for 310 yards and four touchdowns.

The gesture comes a week after Sanders appeared to criticize his offensive line following a loss to Nebraska, where he was sacked a staggering six times. “How many times did (Nebraska QB Dylan) Raiola get touched?” Sanders had asked reporters after the game.

While this public acknowledgement of the line’s importance shows Sanders’ commitment to team unity, some observers have questioned his earlier comments, noting that they may be a sign of his immaturity.

“His arm is stronger than it was at Jackson State and he’s pretty accurate,” one NFL scout told CBS Sports. “I just get turned off by the me, me, me stuff, and then when he threw his offensive line under the bus.”

The Buffaloes will face their first Big 12 opponent, Baylor, next Saturday in Boulder. This game will offer another test for Sanders and his offensive line as they aim to prove their resilience and offensive prowess.
