In the midst of Colorado’s resurgence under first-year coach Deion Sanders, Urban Meyer offered his rousing support this week while commending Sanders’s success in Boulder thus far.
The No. 18 Buffaloes (2–0), led by star quarterback and Sanders’ son Shedeur, enter Week 3 as one of college sports’s biggest stories following big wins over TCU and Nebraska to start the year. And, with the team already taking the country by storm, Meyer admitted CU’s turnaround after over a decade of ineptitude has been unlike anything he’s ever seen.
“It’s a story that, in my lifetime, I’ve never seen anything like what I’m witnessing with this transition of a team,” Meyer said Wednesday on his Urban’s Take podcast. “Colorado might’ve been the worst program in the last decade … If they stay healthy, they’re gonna win a bunch of games this year.”
