Saturday afternoon, all eyes were on head coach “Prime Time” Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes for their first game vs. the National Championship runner up TCU Horned Frogs, and judging by his girlfriend Tracy Edmonds’ reaction, it was impressive.
Though the Buffaloes entered the game as -20 point underdogs on the road, Sander’s new team pulled off an impressive 45-42 victory for the team’s first game together, and Edmonds’ response to the team was exactly what we were all thinking: “Phenomenal”.
Sanders signed to the Buffaloes in 2023 to much fanfare, so his first test against the Horned Frogs was definitely a passing grade. With great offensive weapons and a one of the best two position players on offense and defense, the Buffaloes are off to a good stat.
In 2022, the Buffaloes were 1-11, their second 1 win season of the past 15 years, with their sole win coming against the California Golden Bears. Sanders has equaled last year’s win total in his first game.
Colorado looks to continue its winning ways with their home opener against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
