ATLANTA — The four Georgia Tech students, perhaps inebriated, definitely angry, glared down and shouted at a Colorado contingent. Shedeur Sanders, formerly the quarterback of the Buffaloes and now for the Cleveland Browns, looked up at them and smiled. He rubbed his fingers together, the universal money sign.Another member of Colorado’s group finally had enough and hurled an orange Gatorade bottle up at the fans. Shedeur, perhaps realizing he’d better avoid being part of a viral moment, walked toward the locker room.Colorado celebrates its comeback win over Georgia TechSeth EmersonImmediately after the blocked field goal that gave Colorado the 14-13 upset, the first wave of Colorado players — including Boo Carter, the Tennessee transfer getting his career reclamation moment — streamed downfield right at a section of Georgia Tech fans. They got up close and exchanged pleasantries, receiving some double-barreled one-finger salutes.Coach Deion Sanders, however, left the field quickly and quietly. But happily. He was with Shedeur, his son, taking a break from Browns training camp. And Prime Time had returned to Atlanta, the town he once owned as an NFL football player, with his college football coaching career on the brink.He left it Thursday night with his program at least temporarily rejuvenated.“They’ve been talking about me since I came out of the womb,” Sanders said with a scoff when asked if this was personally satisfying, given what people were saying about him and Colorado after a 3-9 season and little expectation for this fourth season in Boulder.“This was a big win, period. This was a big win for these kids. … We let you guys talk. We know you gotta sell papers, you gotta get clicks. Talk your talk. Just don’t get sensitive when I talk back.”
