The Colorado Buffaloes got their season back on track last week. Following a brutal loss to Nebraska, Deion Sanders' squad bounced back against Colorado State, dominating the Rams 28-9.

The game was a heated affair between rivals. The rivalry has been amplified over the past year or so, with CSU head coach Jay Norvell starting it all with some warning shots ahead of last season's matchup. This year, a couple of CSU players fired more shots before the game. That didn't sit right with Colorado, particularly Shedeur Sanders, who refused to shake CSU quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi's hand after the game.

That move was polarizing. Some believe he was completely in the right to do so, while others believe it showed a lack of maturity. In the most recent episode of his own podcast, Sanders delved into why he did what he did.

After the game, I said something to the Colorado State quarterback because he was talking crazy on social media. He was really doing it for the clicks... It felt like a lot of hate to me, personally. In life, if you're a hater, you'll never be able to succeed... He just went online publicly talking crazy, I never understood that. But of course the media tried to portray it like I did something wrong.

Whether it be because of his overarching confidence or his family name, Shedeur is a divisive figure among football fans. But there's no denying he doesn't take any disrespect from anyone, neither from opposing players or the media.

Colorado's next game is against Baylor, on Saturday night. A win would take Sanders and co. to 3-1 ahead of a road date versus UCF.
