COLORADO quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw an awful interception in Week 2’s painful 28-10 loss to Nebraska.
And college football fans had no mercy for the Buffaloes star after the costly play, which allowed the Cornhuskers to extend their lead to 14-0 in the first quarter.

Sanders looks on after Nebraska scored a pick-6Credit: NBC Sports
Sanders, 22, played out of Colorado’s end zone after the snap from the two-yard line.
The Texas native held onto the ball for a little too long and seemingly panicked seeing Nebraska pass rushers charging at him.
To avoid a safety, he launched a pass to receiver Drelon Miller, who was outside the numbers.
But Cornhuskers cornerback Tommi Hill darted past Miller and picked Sanders off at the five-yard line with no one in front of him to prevent the score.
College football fans couldn’t believe their own eyes.
“Awful interception for Shedeur. Poor decision-making in that moment,” one posted on X.
“Shedeur pick six… yikes,” another added.
“Shedeur threw the worst pick-six I’ve ever seen,” a third said.
“That’s the worst throw I’ve seen in a long time, I’m starting to think Shedeur Sanders is not that guy,” one wrote.
FS1 analyst Emmanuel Acho wrote on X that Sanders committed “several cardinal sins” on the play.
The Buffaloes quarterback “stared it down, threw it late, [and] threw it inside,” Acho noted.
The Colorado star endured a horrific first quarter.
He got sacked three times in addition to throwing the pick.
Those left him with 24 yards lost in the run game despite scrambling four times in the first half.

The Buffaloes faced a 28-0 deficit at the break.
Cornhuskers running back Dante Dowdell scored two touchdowns while wideout Rahmir Johnson added one score.
“We gotta protect. We gotta try to develop some type of offense to get the ball down the field,” Colorado coach and Sanders’ dad, Deion, said during his halftime interview.
“Hat’s off to the defense, they’re trying to hold in there.
“We’ve given up some explosions but overall they’ve been doing a great job.
“We’ve gotta find a way to run the ball and protect Shedeur as well.”
