Most experts are taking a wait-and-see approach with Deion Sanders and Colorado this year. It's understandable considering the loss of program stalwarts like Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders. The Buffs are replacing a lot of production from last season, including their top four wide receivers and a good chunk of their secondary.
Of course, Coach Prime restocked the cupboards efficiently in the Transfer Portal, with brand new faces in so many key spots, you never know how it will all fit together, no matter the talent level.
With so many unknowns, I'm sure Sanders would prefer more of a tune-up game to open the season.
