Sun Sep 15 16:57:31 UTC 2024: ## Sanders’ Heated Words Fuel Rivalry After Colorado Dominates Colorado State
**Fort Collins, CO** – Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders and the Buffaloes delivered a resounding 28-7 victory over their in-state rivals, the Colorado State Rams, on Saturday night. However, the game wasn’t just about the score; it was also marked by heated words exchanged between Sanders and Rams quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi.
The tension began before the game, with Fowler-Nicolosi publicly criticizing Colorado’s “hype” and social media presence, claiming the Rams were ready to prove their doubters wrong. After the game, Sanders confronted Fowler-Nicolosi during the post-game handshake line, accusing him of talking trash on Instagram.
“You were talking s— on Instagram. Talking on Instagram. We handled our business. You can’t f— with me,” Sanders was heard saying to Fowler-Nicolosi, who responded with “Keep talking.”
The altercation was sparked by Fowler-Nicolosi’s pre-game comments about last year’s double overtime game between the teams. He had stated that Colorado, favored by 27.5 points, had received a “rude awakening” in that game, highlighting the importance of playing on the field rather than relying on hype.
Colorado State wide receiver Tony Horton added fuel to the fire, saying that his team “should have murdered” the Buffaloes and were coming for revenge.
Despite the heated exchanges, Sanders led the Buffaloes to a decisive victory, throwing for 310 yards and four touchdowns, two of which went to the versatile Travis Hunter.
The game was undoubtedly a high-stakes affair, with both teams eager to prove their worth. With this win, Sanders and the Buffaloes look to carry the momentum into their upcoming matchup against Baylor next week.
