Shedeur Sanders, the son of coach Deion Sanders, has been dealing with the injury throughout the season, but the exact timing of when he sustained it remains unclear.

The video, titled "Colorado Ends Their Season 4-8 With Loss To Utah: PAC 12 Refs Are TERRIBLE: Shedeur's Injury," provides behind-the-scenes footage of the Buffaloes and sheds light on Shedeur's struggles. Behind a struggling offensive line, the quarterback was sacked a staggering 52 times this season. In order to manage the pain, Shedeur required multiple pain-numbing injections and occasional days off from practice to recover from hits.

Walking onto the field before the game against Utah, Shedeur discussed his latest injury on the video. When asked if the injury would be revealed after the game, he expressed uncertainty. However, a graphic flashed on the screen confirming that he has a fracture in his back.

"It's crazy because I feel good, bro," Shedeur Sanders said in the video before the Buffaloes' 23-17 loss to the Utes, which concluded their season with a record of 4-8 in their final season in the Pac-12 before moving to the Big 12. "But when I start running for real, it's like the idea is, 'I feel good.' Realistically, bro, you can't. I can't even throw right now."

Despite the challenges, Shedeur Sanders still had an impressive season. He shattered the program's single-season passing record, throwing for 3,230 yards, surpassing Sefo Liufau's mark of 3,200 set in 2014. Sanders also finished just one touchdown shy of Liufau's record by throwing 27 touchdown passes. He boasted an impressive completion rate of 69.3%.

For coach Deion Sanders, it was a roller-coaster first season with the Buffaloes. Hired to turn around a struggling 1-11 program, the team showed early promise with a 3-0 start, only to stumble in the later part of the season, losing eight out of their final nine games. The lone victory during this period came in a thrilling 27-24 win against Arizona State, secured by a late-field goal.

Despite their ups and downs on the field, Colorado became the talk of college football this season. Folsom Field witnessed sellout crowds for all six home games, marking the first time in the program's history. The team's newfound success also attracted numerous celebrities, who graced the sidelines, adding to the excitement surrounding the Buffaloes.

With Shedeur Sanders' injury and the team's transition to the Big 12 in the upcoming season, the focus will now shift towards their recovery and preparations for future challenges.
