The Colorado Buffaloes are rolling, but Deion Sanders knows he cannot afford to rest on his laurels. Hence, the team's hot run is an eye-opener for most, especially considering the Buffaloes went 1-11 in 2022.
There is no doubt that the 56-year-old former NFL player has flipped the script for the Colorado Buffaloes. The highlight of that is returning with just 10 players on scholarship and welcoming 68 new scholarship players, The Athletic reported.
The ploy has so far paid off, with the Buffaloes off to an early 2-0 start. As things look now, Sanders compares his schedule with the team as something similar to Santa Claus, with every Saturday feeling like Christmas for Colorado fans at the moment when he spoke to media via CBS Sports.
