The turnaround for a No. 18 Colorado team that went 1-11 last season is all happening at warp speed. Just don’t ask coach Deion Sanders about it.
Sanders and his overhauled roster have transformed the Buffaloes into one of the hottest tickets around. The Buffs have sold out four games — including Colorado State — with another close to being a full house. Should the Arizona game on Nov. 11 reach capacity, it would mark the first time in school history that all six homes games were sellouts.
Yet his team is taking it all in stride — even if it seems almost surreal at times. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders“They all have been level-headed, down-to-earth people,” receiver Xavier Weaver said when asked about having NFL greats hanging around. “You think: ‘Oh, he’s in the Hall of Fame. He thinks he’s better.’ But he’s just like us. He’s coming to teach us, coach us up, and stuff like that. You can ask any question you want. So it’s a blessing.
“I’ve been training and practicing for moments like these pretty much my whole life,” said Weaver, who has 16 catches for 288 yards this season. “Now that we’re on the stage that I want to be on, it’s starting to come to light.”
