Deion Sanders, the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, didn’t hold back in his response to a skeptical reporter after his team’s surprise victory over TCU in Week 1 of the Big 12 season. During a postgame press conference, Sanders addressed the journalist, stating, “I read through that bull-junk you wrote. I sifted through all of that.” The reporter remained silent, prompting Sanders to assert, “You don’t believe. You just answered it. You don’t believe.” Sanders then quickly moved on to the next question.
Sanders further emphasized his point while leaving the press conference, proclaiming that he “keeps receipts.” This sentiment was echoed in subsequent postgame interviews. The significance of Sanders’ debut as Colorado’s coach was met with skepticism due to major changes in the team’s roster. However, the Buffaloes, comprised of nearly 90 new players, defied expectations by defeating the College Football Playoff runner-up from the previous season.
“We told you we were coming. You thought we were joking. We keep receipts,” asserted Sanders after the victory. Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s son, set a school record by throwing for 510 yards in his first major college football game with Colorado. Additionally, Travis Hunter, a versatile player in the receiver/cornerback position, made a crucial interception in the red zone.
Freshman Dylan Edwards, recruited by Coach Prime from Notre Dame, made significant contributions to the win, accumulating 159 yards from scrimmage on only 11 touches and scoring four touchdowns, including the game-winner late in the fourth quarter. This victory ended Colorado’s 27-game losing streak against ranked teams on the road.
Looking ahead, the Buffaloes are preparing for their first home game against Nebraska, another team with a highly anticipated new coach. However, Nebraska suffered a defeat in their debut game under Matt Rhule. The upcoming matchup between the two teams is expected to rekindle the old Big Eight rivalry and generate excitement at Folsom Field. The game will be broadcast on Fox Sports during its Big Noon Kickoff show at 12 p.m. ET.
