Shedeur Sanders talks about the Hail Mary
In the postgame press conference, Sanders spoke about the Hail Mary touchdown to LaJohntay Wester, which forced overtime.
"We put [Travis Hunter] backside, we knew he was going to get all the attention, then LaJohntay was just going to be there outside one-on-one," Shedeur told reporters. "They’re not going to think we’re going to throw him the ball because he’s like a shorter guy in that situation."
"So then I roll left, everybody went in the middle of the end zone and I just trusted God. I just threw it up to God. And God answered the prayer for sure.”
