Buffalo Stampede

By: Mike Rifkin

The most discussed in College Football during the Spring was how Deion Sanders would fare at Colorado. On Saturday, we got our first glimpse of it as Prime Time led his Buffaloes to a win at Fort Worth over TCU, who played for the National Championship last season. Colorado entered the game as 20-point underdogs, and most people would have been happy if they just covered the spread, but they pulled off the upset.

Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s son and Quarterback, was sensational on Saturday. Sanders was 38-47 for 510 yards and four touchdowns. Dylan Edwards had 159 total yards and four touchdowns ( three receiving and one rush). Travis Hunter played both receiver and corner for the Buffaloes on Saturday. He had 11 receptions for 119 yards on offense, and on defense, Hunter had three tackles, one pass breakup, and an incredible interception in the red zone. Last season, Colorado had one game where a receiver went over 100 yards; in this game alone, they had four. 

Colorado gets a marquee win in their first game under Deion Sanders. Listen, we’re not putting them in the CFB Playoff yet, but this is a start for Sanders to build upon the success he had at Jackson St. If anything, Colorado will continue to be a fascinating watch the rest of the season, and that continues next week in their home opener against rival Nebraska.
