In 60 minutes of game time, Colorado coach Deion Sanders has transformed the Buffaloes into one of the biggest stories in American sports.
On Saturday, Colorado topped then-No. 17 TCU 45–42 in Fort Worth, Texas. The unlikely circumstances of the win—the Buffaloes went 1–11 last season while the Horned Frogs won the Fiesta Bowl and played for the national title—shocked the nation, and writers responded by voting Colorado into this week’s AP Top 25 at No. 22.
Sanders’s sudden success has many wondering what his contract looks like, given that a program-altering figure might be roaming the sidelines at Folsom Field.
