Adidas Gauntlet Highlights: Khristian Lander

Class 5A No. 5 Valor Christian (11-1) at No. 1 Cherry Creek (11-1), 1 p.m. Saturday: For the eighth time in 11 seasons, 5A’s top two programs meet in the state playoffs in the semifinals or later. The Bruins have won the last three, all in the 5A championship round, and are now playing for their seventh straight trip to the 5A title game.

BOULDER — Near the end of the third quarter, Shedeur Sanders threw a perfect pass — the kind that will almost assuredly make him a top-five pick in April’s NFL draft.

No matter how healthy a team stays, the NFL season will always test depth eventually. The Broncos are feeling that now, at least to some degree. One place Denver is confident in its depth: Cornerback. When Riley Moss injured his knee Sunday at Las Vegas, veteran Levi Wallace stepped in and played solid. “That’s been the standard since I first got here,” Wallace told The Post this week.

If any doubt lingered about Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix’s status for Monday night, he put it to rest Friday. “I’m good to go,” he said flatly. “Ready to roll.” Nix was estimated to be a limited participant in Denver’s Thursday walkthrough because of a back issue but then was a full participant Friday. He didn’t miss any time in Sunday’s 29-19 victory over Las Vegas, but the broadcast did show him grab at his lower back after he made a throw backpedaling in the face of pressure from Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby.

Initial observations from Colorado’s 52-0 win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys in a Big 12 showdown in Boulder. 1. Defense rebounds: A week after being “intoxicated by attention,” CU’s defense took their newfound sobriety out on Oklahoma State — with a hammer. Six days following a performance that saw Kansas put up 331 rushing yards, three rushing scores and saw Deion Sanders grumble in Kansas City, the Buffs returned to the form they’d shown at Folsom Field.
