Sanders combined with two-way star Travis Hunter for both his touchdown passes. The first was a quick 3-yard pass that opened the scoring in the first quarter, and the second TD was a 34-yard pass to the wideout/cornerback.
After securing a bowl berth for Colorado, Sanders said the Buffaloes are yet to reach their peak potential.
“It’s big for us because it’s big for the fans," Sanders said. "We don’t go into the season or looking at the schedule like, ‘Oh, we’re only going to win six games.’ We’re not even hitting our peak, nowhere close.”
In eight games this season, Sanders has completed 220 of 300 passes for 2,591 yards and 21 touchdowns, while throwing five interceptions. He has also added three rushing touchdowns.
