Nick Saban, the GOAT of college football, just called Shedeur Sanders “the most accurate” quarterback he’s seen. Yeah. That’s real.

For Colorado fans who’ve been riding the rollercoaster of Coach Prime’s rebuild, this is the kind of fuel that keeps the fire burning. Shedeur isn’t just hype. He’s historic. The all-time leader in career completion percentage in college football history makes what Saban said not just a statement—it's a fact.

The narrative around Shedeur tonight has been split. Media noise, doubters, and yes, haters. But his numbers speak louder than any meme or clip ever will. And having someone like Nick Saban validate his game? That really helps.

I mean, Saban didn’t have to say what he said. But he did. And that tells you everything you need to know about where Shedeur stands—not just in Buffs lore, but in the national conversation.

What's exciting about tonight is Shedeur has changed the way people look at Colorado football. He’s rewriting the story. And for us fans who’ve stuck around through the dark days, it feels so good to see the world finally catching on.
