TUCSON, Ariz. – Shilo Sanders would have preferred playing a great game against Kansas State on Oct. 12 at Folsom Field, but he didn’t.
Colorado’s senior safety had a miserable game that night, but the real trial came after. He spent a week hearing about it from every corner of social media. It made for a tough week, but he ultimately took some gratitude for the experience.

On Saturday at Arizona Stadium, Sanders posted four tackles and a pass breakup and was a big part of a dominating defensive effort as CU throttled Arizona, 34-7.
“God is going to test you, and God tested me last week just to see how I’d respond,” Sanders said Saturday after the game, while sitting next to his father and head coach, Deion Sanders. “Everybody goes through ups and downs, and it’s better for me that I went through the down. It made me lock in more, made me watch all my film, made me just prepare to the highest level that I could to come and contribute to this win.”
