Shiloh Sanders, Shedeur Sanders Involved in Heated Altercation
The Buffaloes came away with the win against the Red Raiders, but as per usual it did not come without drama. And it came after Colorado cornerback Shiloh Sanders, the son of Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders sealed the victory.
Sanders came up with a game-winning turnover and poured salt in the Red Raiders' wound by hitting his dad's famed touchdown celebration. His celebration seemed to be to the chagrin of one of the Texas Tech ball boys because he tried to snatch the ball Shiloh had just recovered away from him. Buffaloes' quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Shiloh's brother, watched the entire situation unfold and came face-to-face with the Texas Tech ball boy before one of the Colorado coaches had to step in and diffuse the situation, telling the ball boy "Get your a** out of here.

Fans went wild with reactions on social media.
"All he had to do was ask for the ball, instead he knocks it out of Shilo's hand. He wanted a reaction," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Ball boys always wanting the spotlight...there's a reason he's a ball boy," another user added.
Colorado Coach Deion Sanders Gets Honest on Texas Tech Fans
That wasn't the first altercation that Shiloh had during the Texas Tech game. He also got into it with fans in the first half. Texas Tech has a school tradition where students throw tortillas onto the field, but some fans took it a step too far and began throwing debris on the field. Shedeur saw one of those fans throw a water bottle and threw it back into the stands. Following the Buffaloes' win, Coach Prime called the situation "a little crazy."
'They were throwing everything but my mama at me," Sanders said.
"But when they start throwing the water bottles and those other objects, that's when you've got to alarm the officials and say, `OK now, tortillas are one thing, but water bottles are another thing. That's getting a little crazy."
