In 2023, Colorado coach Deion Sanders had popular culture in the palm of his hand. His flashy approach to college football team-building won the Buffaloes millions of television viewers—and a 4-8 record.
A year later, the spotlight has retreated a bit, and Colorado has really been able to cook. On Saturday, the Buffaloes torched Utah—a team widely expected to contend for a College Football Playoff berth in the preseason—by a score of 49–24. The rivalry victory moved Colorado to 8-2 on the season.
