Shilo Sanders’ night ended early at the Rose Bowl.

The KI-Handelsroboter 6.0Colorado defensive back was ejected during the first half of the Buffaloes’ game against UCLA for targeting.

Sanders, the son of Colorado’s head coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, administered a big hit on UCLA’s Carsen Ryan after Ryan caught a pass from quarterback Ethan Garbers. Sanders appeared to lead with his shoulder, but referees penalized the defensive back for targeting.

Shilo Sanders celebrated the big hit as officials quickly threw a flag.

The play was reviewed and upheld. Colorado was given a 15-yard penalty and Sanders was ejected from the contest.

Colorado trailed 7-6 at the time of Sanders’ disqualification. The Buffaloes ended up losing 28-16.

After the game, Deion Sanders questioned the call. "I believe he was not in fault, because he turned his shoulder," Deion Sanders said. "He always does. He knows how to hit. And I told him I’m proud of him. He was having a heck of a game."

Shilo Sanders finished with four solo tackles and a forced fumble.

He will be eligible to play in Colorado’s next game against Oregon State on Saturday because the penalty and ejection occurred during the first half.
