Deion Sanders wants his players reading all those stories about how good they are. He wants them soaking up every bit of the spotlight, too.
The Colorado coach isn’t one to keep his players grounded. He prefers them flying high, which they are after upsetting heavily favored TCU last weekend and jumping into the AP Top 25 poll at No. 22.
Sanders has the Buffaloes smack dab in the center of the college football universe this week courtesy a 45-42 win at then-No. 17 TCU. Really, though, they were already there when he made waves by overhauling his roster - nearly 90 new players - and ruffling some feathers around the nation. The early success in Boulder is hardly a surprise to Sanders, a two-time Super Bowl winner during his Hall of Fame football career who turned things around at Jackson State before arriving in Boulder.
“Everything he’s ever done in football he’s been successful at, so he’s being successful here already,” Rhule said. “They’ve got elite players.” “We don’t like Nebraska. Simple,” Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders said. “But that’s not going to change the preparation or anything like that, because we prepare like nobody likes us, because we know we’re going to get everybody’s best game.”
