BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Shedeur Sanders set Colorado’s all-time single-season passing record, surpassing Koy Detmer’s 28-year-old mark. The senior quarterback came in needing 40 yards to surpass Detmer’s record of 3,527 yards. He got there by hitting LaJohntay Wester for a 10-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter of the regular-season finale against Oklahoma State.  Sanders finished with 438 yards in a 52-0 win to close out the regular season with 3,926 yards passing. Sanders also added five TD passes against the Cowboys to increase his total to a school-best 35 for the season.
