Shilo Sanders is back after being on the sidelines for one month owing to a forearm injury. The Colorado Buffaloes (4-1, 2-0) are also back after an open week to face the No.18 Kansas State Wildcats (4-1, 1-1) in a Big 12 matchup at Folsom Field in Boulder.
With that, the fans are also back with their hilarious reactions, as is the case whenever Deion Sanders and Co. are involved. The Buffs' X account posted a wholesome moment of Coach Prime hugging his son Shilo as he stretched before the game.
Fan reactions poured with one fan saying:
"Kardashians of college football !! running business as usual."
"The CEO is back, baby! Let’s go. Sko Buffs!!!" wrote another.
"Headache Gang...💀Aspirin, Tylenol, and Ibuprofen available with your nearest medical professional...🤕" one more fan said.
One X user joked: "Here come a few personal fouls"
"Defense just went back to sh*t," wrote another.
Another tweeted, "Shilo Sanders returns and ruins everything"

Deion Sanders is confident that Shilo Sanders is at full strength
Shilo's return to the Buffs lineup against Kansas State has fans buzzing. However, questions remain about his readiness. The star safety has faced multiple upper body injuries in 2024, including a broken forearm in Colorado’s Week 2 defeat to the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Fans have doubts about whether he can play at full strength, especially given the physical demands of his position. Nevertheless, Coach Prime has been optimistic about Shilo’s recovery, praising his resilience and attributing his swift return to “the hand of God.”
In Colorado’s weekly press conference, the Colorado HC said:
“Shilo's ready. He's practising. He's full go. (He) has a rubber cast on. He's doing his thing. I can't wait to see him back there.”
It’ll be interesting to see whether Shilo is his usual self on Saturday, letting tackles fly or restricting his gameplay to save himself. Coach Prime will be monitoring Shilo’s playtime, keeping his long-term health in mind. Keeping Shilo in full fitness is crucial as the Buffaloes chase the Big 12 Championship.
