Who Shedeur Sanders leaped to become Colorado’s all-time single-season passing yards leader
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders is Colorado’s new all-time single-season passing yards leader after setting a new mark on Friday against the Washington State Cougars. Sanders has been excellent in his first season with the Buffaloes and if healthy, he can build upon his new record in the season’s final game.
When a record is broken, you should always look back to recognize those greats who came before. The Buffaloes have always relied more on the run game throughout history, but some very talented two-way quarterbacks have also put up some impressive numbers.
Here are the top 10 single-season passing leaders in Colorado football history:
10. Joel Klatt (2003)
