"Locked for QB1 with Caleb? Lmao" - CFB world reacts to Desmond Howard's recent comparison for Shedeur Sanders after Colorado's Week 3 success
Shedeur Sanders once again has the spotlight on him after the Rocky Mountain Showdown in Boulder. Emotions ran high at Folsom Field, as the match went down to the wire.
Shedeur Sanders came out clutch once again for the Buffs, making an impact in his debut season for Colorado after transferring from Jackson State. The 21-year-old found Jimmy Horn Jr. in the dying moments of the fourth quarter to tie the game and take it to overtime.
Coach Prime's son proceeded to seal the deal for his team in the second overtime, throwing a TD pass to Michael Harrison to clinch the victory with a 43-35 scoreline. This prompted former NFL wide receiver Desmond Howard to heap praise on Shedeur, even comparing him to Caleb Williams.
This comparison sparked a backlash from fans, who felt that the comparison between Williams and Shedeur was a tad bit too much. Williams is expected to win back-to-back Heisman trophies this year. One fan even wrote:
