Deion Sanders addresses his son's and Travis Hunter's performances
Sanders was as proud as a coach for Colorado against No. 17 TCU as he was a father. His son, Shedeur Sanders, soared to new heights, carrying the victory flag high. He shattered school records and delivered an exceptional performance in Saturday's 45-42 upset win.
"We had some guys that singled themselves out with their playing and their playing ability," Sanders said. "A lot of guys you doubted – one of them from an HBCU – I think he had 510 yards passing in a Power Five football game. And he happens to be my son, and I'm proud of him, tremendously."
Deion additionally praised Travis Hunter, calling him his "other son" who made him proud. Travis Hunter transferred from JSU under Coach Prime and contributed to the Buffs' win.
Shedeur's mother, Pilar Bigar, claimed credit for his success as well. She mentioned raising Shedeur and Shilo as strong players leading teams to great performances.
