AFTER a highlight reel night for the Colorado Buffaloes, Shilo Sanders is getting the wrong kind of attention.
Sanders was one of the few smudges on what was mostly a stellar performance all-around from the Buffaloes.

With North Dakota State leading the game 17-14, Colorado needed a big stop on third and six.
The Buffaloes managed to force an incomplete pass, but Sanders looked to get a free shot off on his opponent, and leveled Tyler Terhark after the ball fell incomplete.
Sanders was subsequently flagged for a personal foul that moved the Bison up to the seven-yard line and gave them a free first down.
The announcers on the ESPN broadcast quickly agreed with the officials’ ruling on the field.
“Yeah, I think that’s a good call,” rules analyst Matt Austin said.
“The defender, he definitely could’ve avoided that severe of a contract.
“If he just would’ve gone in letting up and knocked him to the ground, it wouldn’t have been a big deal, but he looked like he accelerated and tried to leave a message, so I think it’s a good call.”
North Dakota State end up scoring a field goal, giving them a 20-14 lead and head coach Deion Sanders was furious with his son.
He was seen on the sideline in disbelief with his son and flailing his arms after the play.
That moment wasn’t the only incident that could’ve warranted a penalty on Sanders either.
On one play, Shilo tackled a player in bounds, but carried him through the sideline before pushing him into a water cooler.
On another play, Sanders pushed a player out of bounds before pushing him again into a wall next to the fields.
Fans were unhappy with with the hits, and called out Shilo for his unnecessary hits.
“Shilo Sanders might be the dirtiest player in cfb,” one fan said.
“Shilo Sanders is the most undisciplined player in the country,” another fan said.

“Shilo Sanders is really hurting his draft stock with all these late hits,” a third fan said.
“I told my co-worker today, if he (Shilo Sanders) doesn’t watch out he’s going to be kicked out of a game this year,” a fourth fan said.
The Buffaloes went on to win the game 31-26 despite Sanders’ penalty and a halftime defecit.
