Omarion Miller announced his return to Colorado football with a banger. The Buffaloes wide receiver’s first reception of the season was no short of a collector’s item.

On a third-and-short from the Buffaloes’ own 42-yard line, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who was 12/21, launched a laser aimed at Miller across the midfield. Miller caught the ball, but the Baylor player immediately positioned himself between him and the red zone.

However, Miller had other ideas. The Baylor corner went for a low tackle to stop the Buffs’ wideouts run, who quickly maneuvered his body and evaded the attack to score a 58-yard touchdown. The on-field referee awarded the TD but waited for the TV officials to confirm the legitimacy.

It took several reviews to make sure any part of Miller’s legs or shoulder touched the ground during the tackle. Eventually, the original call was deemed valid, and the Buffs reduced the deficit to 16-24.

I would like to thank the coaches and staff that recruited me during this process. In light of the many changes at the University of Nebraska, I have decided to decommit and open up my recruitment.
Omarion Miller said as per On3.com

Miller joined Colorado last year

After leaving Nebraska, Buffs head coach Deion Sanders recruited him for his new and revamped Colorado side, ready to take on the Pac-12. He looked promising, and his seven catches for 196 yards and a touchdown against the USC Trojans is a freshman record for the Buffs program.
