Much of the college football landscape did not expect Colorado and first-year coach Deion Sanders to produce two wins in their first two games of the 2023 season.
However, despite the doubters, the Buffaloes (2–0) have notched victories against TCU—last year’s CFP runner-up—and most recently against their rival Nebraska on Saturday, putting Boulder, Colo., at the epicenter of college football as the home of the sport’s most exciting team.
After the Buffaloes’ win against the Horned Frogs in Week 1, Sanders clearly stated that his team was “coming” to change the narrative on the projections for his first year at the helm of the program, one that finished 1–11 in the ’22 campaign. Following Saturday’s second victory, not only has Colorado already doubled its wins from last season, but the program continues to deliver in television viewership.
