SALT LAKE CITY — Shedeur Sanders has likely called it a season.

Sources confirmed to The Denver Post that Sanders, the Buffs’ record-setting junior quarterback, will not play in the regular-season finale at Utah.

CU opened with freshman Ryan Staub behind center against the Utes. It was the first collegiate start for Staub, a native of Stevens Ranch, Calif. Staub’s first drive ended with a fumble that was recovered by Utah at the Utes 42.

Sanders completed his first season with the Buffs by breaking CU’s single-season passing yardage mark (3,230) and falling one touchdown (27) shy of the Buffs’ record for passing TDs in a season (28, set by Sefo Liufau in 2014).
