Keeler: CU Buffs QB Shedeur Sanders torched Cincinnati while battling a bad leg and flu bug. So where’s the Heisman Trophy love?
BOULDER — Shedeur Sanders flu under the radar. Dude practiced one day last week. One. Before he went viral, No. 2 felt viral.
“It was tough out there getting the chemistry back with everybody,” the CU Buffs’ QB1 explained early Sunday morning, having powered through influenza to throw for 323 yards in a 34-23 win over Cincinnati. “Because you lose weight, you lose strength, you lose a lot of things.”
Not touch. Not zip. Not feel. Not mojo. Shedeur completed his first 15 passes. In a half. Against a good Cincinnati team. Against a Bearcats defense that allowed 19 completions to Texas Tech last month — over a whole game.
