Colorado safety Shilo Sanders has found himself a target of angry fans on social media during the first half of tonight's season opener. Sanders has been guilty of a couple of questionable hits on North Dakota State players, including one obvious late hit that drew a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct and a 15-yard penalty. The call extended the drive deep in Buffaloes territory, though Colorado did eventually hold the Bison to a field goal.
