Deion Sanders Says Shedeur Sanders is 'Not Feeling Well' Ahead of Utah Matchup

Utah may not be the only team down on their luck in this week 13 matchup.

It looks as if the Utes aren't the only side heading into the final game of the season with unexpected circumstances.

Following the loss to Arizona last Saturday, Utah fans were rightfully questioning the poor play of the team along with the absence of three key defensive players. On Monday, Coach Whitt gave fans an answer when he said, “Well, there is a flu bug going around on top of everything else." He continued by saying, “So, today if we had to play today, we’d probably be shy a dozen guys. Hopefully, we can get some of those guys back before the weekend.” 

However, it looks like the bad luck has hit Colorado too as their star QB Shedeur Sanders is still "not feeling well" and is "day by day" according to his father and coach Deon Sanders.

Sanders suffered an injury last week in their loss to Washington State where it was reported that he "couldn't really grip the ball" and "had some numbness in his hand." 

If he doesn't heal up, it could prove a massive loss for the Buffs as Shedeur is an incredibly integral piece to their formula, and without him, it hasn't necessarily been smooth sailing. 

What was such a highly touted and anticipated final game for both sets of fans when looking at the schedule at the start of the year has turned into a dimming flame in the sunset hours of the Pac-12 as we know it. 

Both programs will surely be happy to finally put an end to this season and set their sights on a new horizon filled with uncharted territory to conquer as the Big 12 awaits their arrival.
