Saturday's victory comes amid rumors that Sanders is on the verge of accepting the head-coaching job at the University of Colorado.

Per ESPN's Pete Thamel, Sanders "has been preparing to make an exit" from Jackson State for Colorado and he's spent most of this week "making inquiries to both potential members of his on-field staff and support staff at Colorado" about possibly joining him.
