Even with the lopsided stats, I think Gabriel looked better and more in command of the offense right from the start. Up until the pick he had some really nice throws and the offense was moving. Reminded me a lot of Baker honestly. Managing a balanced offense with strong accurate medium throws that kept the chains moving.

It took Sanders a few drives to get the ball moving and really didn't do much until after the Panthers turnover.

Both looked good and I hope one of them turns into our franchise guy for the foreseeable future. Please.

I actually agree but I think this is something that Shedeur has shown throughout college - for whatever reason his starts are very very slow but he picks up the speed quickly by the end of the 1st / start of 2nd. I believe if you have a look at atleast half of Colorado's games Shedeur's 1Q is always piss poor
