Kansas Hit on Shedeur Sanders Leads to CFB Fans Questioning Lack of Roughing Penalty

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders took quite the hit during Saturday's game against Kansas.

The senior quarterback was on the receiving end of a hit to the knees by Jayhawks linebacker Dean Miller that sent Sanders to fall backwards and grip his knee.

Sanders did not depart from the game, but the severity of the hit had many take to social media to criticize the hit not being penalized.

Sanders entered the game with 3,222 passing yards, 27 passing touchdowns, four rushing touchdowns and only seven interceptions. He is a key piece of the Buffaloes' offense, so potentially losing him would have been a major blow to Colorado.

Colorado entered the game with an 8-2 record and is in contention for the conference championship. A loss to Kansas would put those hopes in jeopardy.

While Sanders and the Buffaloes appear to have avoided the worst, his knee and overall health should be something to monitor moving forward.
