San Antonio, TX- Saturday night, the greatest father-son era in college sports took his last ride in the Alamo Dome .
As Deion Sanders walked down the sideline with his son Sheduer one last time you can see the emotion in his eyes knowing this will be the last pre game walk with his son as his coach . Also coaching his son Shilo Sanders the hard hitting safety who choose to follow his father to Jackson State who will turn pro with many of his teammates who have made Colorado one of the most popular team in sports .
To think what Deion Sanders has done in the past four years is mind blowing to college football he has put the spotlight back on the young players who will be the future stars of NFL and has started at all time high level. Name another coach that can flip the number one player in the country from Florida State to HBCU. I don’t even think the likes of The Great Nick Saban could do that what Deion his sons Travis Hunter and the rest of the Colorado Buffaloes have done has shifted the attention back to college football as it was in the 90s when Bobby Bowden was dominating at Florida State and when the Miami hurricanes were an unstoppable force. Saturday night’s outcome of two power houses from the Big 12 proved that BYU is the big brother for now and Colorado has the potential to run the table in the future, maybe the future of college football, considering the talent that Colorado has coming in from around the nation.
Speaking of the future Julian Lewis Carde Smith and Kaidon Salter were present . Salter could be the key next year to the bus run for the college football championship with His championship caliber play coming from Liberty being in the preseason Heisman Trophy conversation at the beginning of the season and Juju being the future of Colorado Buffalo football.
BYU had everything working most of the game and Colorado had a hard time converting on third down . Sheduer completed 16 of 23 passes for 208 yards and 2 touchdowns. Despite the loss Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter put on a show in his last game for Colorado with 106 yards and a touchdown and no touchdowns given up on defense. BYU also opted to stay away from throwing to Hunter side unlike most teams this season but the Buffalo still came up with three interceptions one that didn’t count went to Shiloh Sanders, but was brought back on an offside penalty by Colorado. Sanders did pick off a two point conversion try late in the game that prevented BYU From going up by 35 points. The one thing I can say Colorado never gave up the entire game. They kept in all their starters and the entire team during the game.Sheduer and Coach Prime spoke after how important it was to keep fighting so the team would follow suit the entirety of the game.
Colorado did a complete 180 from last season finishing 9-4 second in the Big 12 conference which leads plenty excitement for next season with a new class of players coming in. Coach Prime is proving he’s the master of the transfer portal with few key players that the team signed over the last few weeks that could set up Colorado to push for a berth in the college football playoffs and a national title. The future looks bright in Boulder . #TheBuffsAreHere
