BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Colorado free safety Shilo Sanders got called out by his coach/father for some shaky tackling. It’s just the honest truth he needed to hear from his dad, Deion Sanders. He’s taken it to heart. In his return from a broken forearm, Shilo Sanders had what he labeled the worst game of his life in Colorado’s 31-28 loss to No. 17 Kansas State over the weekend. He and the defense saw Wildcats tailback DJ Giddens gallop for 182 yards rushing, along with Jayce Brown catching a go-ahead 50-yard touchdown with 2:14 remaining. Sanders says “I can’t be going out there, not being on my game.”
