But he didn't just sit around waiting for the clock to strike 3,000.
Sanders was hit hard in the head on the final drive of the game. He managed to finish the drive and score a touchdown to LaJontae Wester. He returned to the locker room before the end of the game. Backup quarterback Ryan Staub entered the game to finish the game.
It is unclear if Sanders was injured on the play. He walked to the locker room on his own and was jeered at as he walked.

“What time is it?” one Nebraska fan could be heard saying to Sanders.

The rest of the criticism was voiced on social media.
Sanders called the pick-six a “rookie mistake” and said after the game that he was “a little sore” but generally OK.
“Defense was an issue,” Colorado head coach Deon Sanders said. Via ESPN“You know, I’m trying to be polite and say this because you know I can say the same thing you’re all thinking, but if I said this, you would say I’m victimizing my people.
“I would never do that. It was about protection. We have to figure out how to prevent that and do it better.”
Nebraska falls to 2-0 on the season while Colorado falls to 1-1.
