Kordell Confident Coach Prime Will Build Success With Buffs

BOULDER — Forever Buffs star quarterback Kordell Stewart has no doubt Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders will prove to be a success as Colorado's head coach.

Stewart, part of a large group of past Buffs in town for this weekend's Black and Gold spring game, has more than a passing connection to Coach Prime.

Stewart and Sanders faced off in the 1996 Super Bowl, when Sanders' Dallas Cowboys took a 27-17 win over Stewart and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The two then became teammates and friends late in their careers when they both played for the Baltimore Ravens in 2004 and 2005.
