Colorado has been struggling against Kansas in this game and is down by 16 in the fourth quarter but there's still no excuse for Sanders to do this.
The college football community is also stunned that he didn't get ejected.
"The officials can use their hands all they want to try to keep order but you cannot come back as a player and push an official... He's lucky that he wasn't ejected from the game," Mike Pereira said.
"Anyone surprised by Shedeur pushing a ref didn't watch him and his brother push a ball boy last week. They think they're above the game. They think they're above the rules. That's what Deion built," another tweet read.
"Here's the video. Pretty wild that the refs just let that slide," another tweet read.
"Pathetic all around. Pathetic to commit such an act. Pathetic for the officials to let is slide," another tweet read.
"Stunning that this officiating crew is in the middle of another mess," another fan tweeted.
The Buffaloes came into this game with an 8-2 record and needing to win to keep their Big 12 title hopes alive but it appears they will suffer their third loss. They're down 37-21 to the Jayhawks, who have loved playing spoiler this season.
The Jayhawks have beaten the Cyclones of Iowa State and the Cougars of BYU each of the last two weeks and is poised to beat another top team.
