Buffs alums Vance Joseph, Eric Bieniemy revel in Coach Prime’s success: “It’s back to what it used to be a long time ago”

Prime Mania has fully taken hold in the football world.

A pair of alums coaching in the NFL are reveling in the warp-speed revitalization coach Deion Sanders has overseen at Colorado.

Eric Bieniemy, of course, was CU’s leading rusher when it won the national championship in 1990. Now, he’s the Washington Commanders offensive coordinator and is returning to the Front Range on Sunday for a game against the Broncos.

“I’m happy for the things that have taken place down in Boulder,” Bieniemy told reporters Thursday before throwing a jab at Nebraska, which CU beat 34-16 on Saturday.
