00:02 - Let's talk about Deion, how could you not?

00:05 Nine and a half million viewers,

00:07 late night in the 10 o'clock window on ESPN.

00:11 You have been around college football, Bill,

00:13 for a very long time.

00:14 You love this game, you've been covering it.

00:15 Have you ever seen anything like the attention

00:18 that Deion has gotten at Colorado through three games

00:21 with the 3-0 start as well?

00:23 - No, this phenomenon's out of this world

00:25 and it's great for the sport.

00:26 Deion's great for the sport.

00:28 His kid is great for the sport, both of them.

00:31 Shadur Sanders is the one holding this together.

00:33 I mean, that magical 98-yard drive,

00:36 the NFL pro potential, losing Travis Hunter,

00:39 still being able to win the game.

00:41 And there is a lot of sizzle around this team, obviously.

00:44 They've won the popularity contest in September.

00:47 They've got a lot of bandwagon fans.

00:49 I think it will continue into October.

00:52 And because there's substance with Deion,

00:55 he's a master motivator.

00:56 He knows what he's doing.

00:57 He has a great staff around him.

00:59 Sean Lewis, his offensive coordinator,

01:01 the former Kent coach, is going to be

01:03 a hot coaching candidate because of what's going on.

01:05 And I don't know how they do Saturday.

01:08 I don't know that they're gonna win this game.

01:10 I mean, I can't sit here and say,

01:11 yeah, I think they're gonna go into Autzen

01:12 and win as a 20-and-a-half point.

01:15 What I'm watching is the first half, though.

01:17 How long can they hang around?

01:18 Oregon has just obliterated teams

01:20 in the first half this year.

01:21 And they've covered all three weeks.

01:23 So the longer Deion can hang around,

01:25 if that's a one-score game at halftime,

01:28 I might believe a little bit.

01:29 - Yeah, and I just thought coming into the year, too,

01:33 it was so hard.

01:34 People thought Colorado was gonna be awful.

01:36 Their win total was three-and-a-half.

01:38 They're not gonna be good.

01:39 It was a completely different team, Bill.

01:42 And I don't think that people really accounted

01:45 how good Shadour is or how good Travis Hunter is.

01:49 I know, unfortunately, he's not gonna play

01:51 in these next two huge games for them

01:53 against Oregon and USC.

01:55 But those are two real good players

01:57 that he had at Jackson State that he took with him.

01:59 And that changes things in a big way.

02:02 I'm with you.

02:03 I'm interested to see how they can hang around,

02:05 especially their offensive line,

02:07 considering how much Shadour was running around

02:09 against Colorado State.

02:10 That's a much bigger D-line in Oregon

02:12 that he's gonna have to deal with on Saturday afternoon.
