It didn’t take long for Colorado to christen its latest item on the sideline in the Deion Sanders era as head coach.
Colorado introduced a new turnover throne ahead of Saturday’s game against Nebraska. The fancy chair, trimmed in gold and donning “iBELIEVE” at the bottom, is the sanctum where Buffalo players will visit after generating a turnover in the game.
On a third down attempt from the Buffaloes’ 31 in the Cornhuskers’ opening drive, quarterback Jeff Sims fumbled the ball on a sack by the Buffaloes’ defense. Colorado took over from its own 35.
Sanders and his squad are seeking to pick up their second win of the season after upsetting TCU last week in Fort Worth, Texas. Against the Horned Frogs, Colorado generated two turnovers.
However, the Buffaloes surrendered 541 yards of total offense to the 2022 CFP runner-up. Hopefully, the iconic throne can serve as motivation for Sanders’s defense to force more turnovers and limit the Cornhuskers’ offensive production.
Maybe I missed it but I didn’t spot this on the sidelines at TCU last week. pic.twitter.com/Lfs68HSekM
