The Colorado football team took the college football world by storm last season when head coach Deion Sanders led the team to a 3-0 start.
Even though the team lost seven of its last eight games last season, the attention never seemed to go away in Boulder during Sanders’ first year at the helm.
Despite a 4-8 campaign a year ago, Colorado starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders seems to believe that every opponent that they’ll face in 2024 has the Buffaloes circled on their schedule, saying that they’re “everybody’s Super Bowl.”
“I really just always stay level-headed and stay grounded,” Sanders mentioned. “I would never want to be that guy to look back and not being able to take advantage of the moment we have right now.”
Despite playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in football last year, the 6-foot-2 quarterback threw for 3,230 yards and 27 touchdowns. Along with that, one of his strengths is the ability not to turn over the football, as he only threw three interceptions.
The Buffaloes’ matchup with Colorado State in 2023 became the most-watched late-night college football game in ESPN history, proving that the hype is real in Boulder.
CU is back in the Big 12 after leaving the Pac-12 Conference and will open up the season as host to North Dakota State on Thursday, Aug. 29 at 8 p.m. EST on ESPN.
