00:00
And of course, with the newcomers into the Big 12, we have to highlight Colorado.
00:08
Prime era year two in Boulder.
00:11
See you off to an illustrious start at the beginning of last season.
00:16
Four wins by the time September was done.
00:19
Over their preseason win total of three and a half.
00:22
Immediate improvement from a one win season the year prior to Deion Sanders taking the
00:27
reins in Boulder.
00:29
But from that point on, not many more wins.
00:31
In fact, no more wins for Colorado.
00:34
A four and eight record.
00:36
Five and a half the win total for the Buffs entering 2024.
00:40
Things are a little bit different in terms of the scale and everything that follows Coach
00:43
Prime.
00:44
And that's the notoriety that he wants in Colorado, frankly, deserves.
00:48
But what does it mean from a success perspective?
00:51
What does success look like this season for CU?
00:54
Six and six bowl eligibility.
00:56
That's what it has to be.
00:57
And Deion did a fantastic job in year one.
01:00
Started right from the get-go.
01:01
20 and a half point underdog knockout TCU.
01:04
Offensive line needs to get better.
01:06
Shador Sanders hit multiple times and sacked 50 plus times last year.
01:10
They could not run a dead last in FBS averaging 68 rushing yards per game.
01:15
If they could have that type of success, more offensive balance, that'll lead to six or
01:20
potential seven wins.
01:22
And that is success in year number two.
01:25
When you look at the Heisman Trophy odds, Shador Sanders is a little bit down the list
01:29
at 40 to one.
01:30
You could keep going to the dynamic playmaker who does it all in Travis Hunter at 65 to
01:36
one as well.
01:37
Both have legitimate shots and being in the Heisman Trophy conversation throughout the
01:41
2024 college football campaign.
01:44
Colorado will be on center stage week number one, a primetime game for Coach Prime.
01:50
The Thursday night before the first full Saturday against FCS Powerhouse, North Dakota
01:56
State.
01:57
It is less than a two-score spread.
01:59
Frankly, I can't believe Colorado scheduled the game, but we'll see what happens, followed
02:04
by a trip to Lincoln the following Saturday in week number two against what we both expect
02:09
to be an improved Nebraska Cornhuskers football program.
02:13
Deion Sanders has built his program through the transfer portal.
02:17
Transfers out, transfers in.
02:19
They are hoping for the talent to gel together quickly this year in Boulder.
