"Not really focused on a walk with him": Shedeur Sanders brushed off emotional question on ritual with Coach Prime 

Shedeur Sanders has had a stellar four-year collegiate career, however, it will come to an end this weekend. He is set to step on a college football field for the final time on Saturday as the Colorado Buffaloes face the BYU Cougars in the Alamo Bowl.

The former three-star prospect in the 2021 recruiting class was asked about making the pre-game walk with his father and head coach Deion Sanders for the final time. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the program's first bowl game since 2020, the younger Sanders said:

"I think the walk is the least of my worries, right now. I think they got a pretty good [defensive] end that's bound to go second round, early second round so that's kind of my focus, right now. I'm not really focused on a walk with him.

"There's bigger things and bigger tasks at hand. The main thing is just to win the game and do it in a dominant fashion and do it very clean and precise and that's what our focus is.

"So, in these final days, wrapping up everything to get to the game, just cleaning minor things up that we see flaws and watching old games that we played, honestly, and just getting back in that – taking yourself back through those situations, those times since we had so much time off," he added.

Shedeur Sanders praises BYU Cougars' defense

Shedeur Sanders will make the final appearance of his college football career this weekend as Colorado faces the BYU Cougars. He was asked what he is most looking forward to in the matchup.

"For me, it's problem-solving. We know they're going to do a lot of exotic things and a lot of different things that we probably haven't seen on film, but we just got to always stick to the basics and do what we do best," Sanders said. "They're a talented team, and they listen to their coaches and they do everything 98% right. It's defense, so, defense, eventually somebody's going to bust a coverage, but that's just what it is."

Sanders added that it is difficult to find a flaw with the Cougars defense. BYU allowed just 20.1 points per game during the regular season, ranking No. 18 out of 134 FBS programs.
