Deion Sanders heaps praise on his QB son Shedeur Sanders after comeback falls short vs. No. 8 USC

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Proud papa Deion Sanders said everybody at Folsom Field and anyone watching at home knew “if we would have gotten that ball last we were going to go down there and score.” Right after talking up Williams as a great quarterback, Sanders heaped equally effusive praise on his own kid, who shrugged off his best throw of the day, a touchdown toss to diving freshman Omarion Miller thorough the tightest of spaces on fourth down in the second half. “We just had to lock in and understand this was not going to be a recap of last weekend,” Shedeur Sanders said of Colorado’s 42-6 loss at Oregon, the Buffs’ first loss after a 3-0 start landed them in the epicenter of college football. “I’m proud to be his father — and his coach.” Another slow start ultimately doomed the Buffs to a second straight loss without two-way star Travis Hunter, who was joined in street clothes Saturday by Shedeur’s older brother, Shilo, a star defensive back who sustained a kidney injury against the Ducks. “You’ve got to be crazy,” Sanders said, “if you can’t see the direction that we’re headed.” ___ AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/college-football and https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll
