Video: Colorado's Shilo Sanders Pays Tribute to Deion with TD Celebration vs. TTU

After scoring a late touchdown to secure a 41-27 win over Texas Tech for No. 20 Colorado on Saturday, Buffaloes safety Shilo Sanders paid homage to his father in the end zone.

With the Red Raiders attempting to score a game-tying touchdown with roughly one minute remaining in the fourth quarter, quarterback Behren Morton had the ball stripped by Colorado defensive lineman Arden Walker.

The ball was picked up by Sanders and returned into the end zone before the 24-year-old celebrated with a shuffle reminiscent of Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders during his playing days.

The safety finished with six tackles in addition to his fumble recovery.

He hasn't been the only member of the family to pay tribute to the touchdown dance, as Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders broke out the same celebration after scoring a rushing touchdown against Nebraska during the 2023 season.

Shedeur wrapped up another impressive performance against Texas Tech, finishing 30-of-43 for 291 yards through the air while recording four total touchdowns without a turnover.

The Buffaloes improved to 7-2, winning their third consecutive game.

With No. 17 Iowa State losing to Kansas by the final score of 45-36 on Saturday, Coach Prime's team now controls its own destiny to secure a spot in the Big 12 title game. Colorado will need to continue stacking victories in order to do so, starting with a Nov. 16 matchup against Utah.
