On Tuesday, the Colorado Buffaloes’ social media staff posted an extremely questionable video to X, captioned “Darts only.” The video appeared to show quarterback Shedeur Sanders throwing a long pass to senior wide receiver LaJohntay Wester for a fall camp score.

The abrupt transition from the view behind Sanders to Wester with the ball in his hands raised several eyebrows on social media. On Wednesday, the Arkansas Razorbacks joined in the fun by sharing a plainly staged ‘darts only’ video of their own, with Boise State transfer Taylen Green throwing a ball that suddenly starts flying through the air into the arms of Isaiah Sategna… who is going the opposite direction.

Having been roasted online to the point where the last-place team in the SEC West felt comfortable dunking on them, Colorado took to X to prove that Sanders really did complete that pass.

Unfortunately, these two clubs coming off four-win seasons will not play this season. Nor have they ever. Until the next round of league realignment, this rivalry will be limited to harmless Internet fun.
“Give the guys an opportunity to build their brand and I think it’s an outstanding job by (Deion) to think outside the box and offer that unique perspective and that vehicle so it’s out there, it’s for the guys, and they’re able to get that identity,” according to Lewis.

Sanders, who is planning for a bounce-back year in 2024, has not abandoned some of his tactics of promoting his players and will continue to do things his way in order to achieve his goals.
