Citing Huskers’ “extreme disrespect,” CU Buffs wanted to “run the score up” in demolition of Nebraska

BOULDER — After the first big home win in the CU Buffs’ Keep The Receipts Tour, Shedeur Sanders reminded fans why Saturday’s victory over Nebraska was “personal” in his debut appearance in the rivalry series.Sanders took issue with Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule standing on the CU logo at midfield prior to the Buffs’ 36-14 domination at Folsom Field. The QB also cited offseason comments by Rhule that were thinly veiled swipes at Deion Sanders’ CU rebuild.“We go out there to warm up and you’ve got the head coach for the other team trying to stand in the middle of the Buff,” Shedeur Sanders said. “If a couple players do it, it’s fine, enjoy the scenery. But when you’ve got the whole team trying to disrespect (the logo), I’m not going for that at all. I went in there and disrupted it. They knew I was ripped. That Buff means a lot to me.“It was extreme disrespect. The coach said a lot of things abo...

MONTEREY, Calif. (AP) — Felix Rosenqvist will end his tenure with Arrow McLaren Racing by starting from the pole in the IndyCar Series season finale at Laguna Seca. Rosenqvist won his second pole of the season — first since the Texas Motor Speedway oval in March — with a lap at 1 minute, 06.6416 seconds on Saturday around the freshly paved permanent road course. Rosenqvist won the only two poles of the season for McLaren, which is still seeking its first win of the season from its three-driver lineup headed into Sunday’s finale. “A really cool way to end my way with Arrow McLaren and I just love going into this last one in the best possible position,” Rosenqvist said. “In a way it’s kind of ironic, it’s just kind of proving the pace we have. Things haven’t been straightforward. I made a lot of mistakes, the team made a lot of mistakes, but the number one thing you want to keep showing your pace.“It’s a little emotional but a perfect way to start the final weekend.”Rosenq...

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Devin Leary passed for four touchdowns, including two to Tayvion Robinson, as Kentucky scored four consecutive TDs to rally past and hold off Eastern Kentucky 28-17 on Saturday.The Wildcats (2-0) entered as heavy favorites but spent much of an overcast day having to overcome their FCS neighbor.
