**Fort Collins, CO** – Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders sparked controversy after refusing to shake hands with Colorado State Rams quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi following the Buffs’ dominant 28-9 victory in their Week 3 matchup.

Sanders, son of head coach Deion Sanders, addressed the incident on his 2Legendary podcast, explaining his actions stemmed from Fowler-Nicolosi’s pre-game trash talk on social media.

“After the game, I said something to the Colorado State quarterback because he was talking crazy on social media, and he was really doing it for the clicks,” Sanders said. “I said what I had to say to him because he wasn’t telling the truth in anything he was saying. It felt like a lot of hate, to me, personally.”

The feud ignited when Fowler-Nicolosi posted a message prior to the game questioning the impact of Sanders’ social media following on the field. “We’ll see how far Instagram followers gets them,” he wrote.

Sanders clearly remembered the message and didn’t shy away from expressing his feelings after the victory. A video surfaced of Sanders saying, “I’m human, too,” which seemed to further emphasize his frustration.

Despite the off-field drama, the Buffaloes secured a decisive win over their rivals, leaving the last laugh with the team.
