The Colorado Buffaloes continued their winning ways after defeating Texas Tech at Jones AT&T Stadium in week 11. This victory helped Coach Prime's team secure a three-game winning streak and stay in the race to compete for the Big 12 championship and a playoff spot.

Both of Deion Sanders' sons, Shilo and Shedeur, put up incredible performances on the field against Texas Tech. In the fourth quarter, Shilo Sanders scored a 6-yard touchdown on a fumble return to seal the victory for Colorado. After scoring, he celebrated by doing Deion Sanders' trademark dance in the endzone as a tribute to his father.

Coach Prime's mom, Connie Sanders, took to social media to share her grandson copying his father's footsteps with the trademark dance. She accompanied the post with a heartwarming message for Shilo Sanders.

"Love to see both #21 hit that dance!" Connie wrote in the caption.

Shilo wears the same jersey number (21) as Deion Sanders from his NFL days. He transferred from Jackson State along with his father and brother, Shedeur Sanders, last season. Despite an injury, Shilo has been an absolute unit for Colorado's defense.

So far, Shilo Sanders has recorded a total of 37 tackles, one fumble recovery, and one pass defended. During their victory against Texas Tech, the safety tallied a total of six tackles along with one fumble recovery and one touchdown.

Coach Prime's QB son Shedeur also had a fantastic game leading the offense against the Red Raiders. He went on to record a total of 291 passing yards, along with three TD passes and one rushing TD to his name.

In the post-game press conference, Shedeur Sanders praised his brother Shilo's performance on the field. He talked about how the safety was getting back on track mentally and physically after his injury.

"I feel like he's got the attitude back," Shedeur said. "I think the injury set him back a little bit. Mentally and everything, I think it did a little bit, whether he admits it or not, but I think so. So now he's going out there, he's hitting how he's supposed to, how he was back. He is happy and is on the right track."

The Colorado Buffaloes have a chance to exceed all expectations and compete for the national championship in their Big 12 reunion campaign. However, in order to do so, they need to emerge victorious in the remaining games of the regular season.
