The hype continues to build around Sanders and his Colorado team. Which other 2024 draft prospects showed up on Saturday?
’s showdown with Oregon next week should be more illuminating. But here are my main takeaways from Sanders’ performance after reviewing the double-overtime thriller:Sanders shredded Colorado State’s soft Cover 2 on the final drive of regulation, including on the touchdown that allowed the Buffs to tie the game.In that situation, the point of Cover 2 is to take away vertical options and force the quarterback to chew clock by working underneath.
Despite rushing only four, the pass rush muddies the pocket. Sanders calmly climbs and works to his left while keeping his eyes downfield the entire time, allowing him to find the open receiver. His poise and no-panic play style — especially in gotta-have-it moments — were the difference in this game.The next most impressive takeaway from Sanders’ tape has been ball placement. His completion percentage this season is a staggering 78.
Not only is timing imperative to complete this ball but so is the low placement. If the ball arrives anywhere else, the safety will have a chance to pop the receiver, potentially creating an incompletion. This season, on throws between the numbers that travel 10 yards or more downfield, Sanders has a completion percentage of 78.6 .Like in Colorado’s first two games, there were far more positive than negative moments for Sanders on Saturday night. But it wasn’t all perfect.
