Colorado took an early lead on Colorado State on Saturday night after Shilo Sanders stepped in front of a Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi pass and raced 80 yards the other way for a pick 6.

Sanders, wearing No. 21, appeared to have a bit of a high step to his return, something we’ve seen before from an older Sanders wearing the same number. It’s his first touchdown as a member of the Buffaloes.

Colorado coach Deion Sanders, Shilo’s dad, was waiting for the defensive back when he got back to the sidelines with a big smile on his face.
