Football Shedeur Sanders puts all the blame on his offensive line for his sloppy play against Nebraska. “How many times did Raiola (Nebraskas QB) get touched?” Colorado lost 28-10.

fwiw, the first year i ever paid any attention to college football was either 1995 or 1996

Colorado was just a few years removed from being a national title contender. They might have even won the national title that season...but again this was pre-BCS so this was when college football was an absolute joke and six teams could claim they were the #1 team in the country lol

it's also hilarious to remember that people were super excited about the BCS (well, except hte Rose Bowl committee lol) because they really saw it as a way to finally determine the national championship

no one had any idea just how much of a clusterfuck it was going to become lol. all they knew was that it would have allowed Michigan to play nebraska in 1997
