Colorado Buffaloes hits first roadblock in Deion Sanders’ tenure

In what’s become undoubtedly one of the hottest sports stories of the year, the University of Colorado Buffaloes, led by NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, started the 2023 college football season with a 3-0 record. This is an improvement from last year, as the Buffaloes went 1-11.

Their first win of the season came against No. 17 Texas Christian University, who were last seen playing Georgia in the national championship game of the previous season.

Colorado entered the game as 21-point underdogs but managed to pull off a spectacular 45-42 win led by quarterback Shedeur Sanders (son of Deion) and unbelievable do-it-all cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter.
