Let’s dive into what happened in college football this past Saturday. And let’s start with the impressive performance by the Colorado Buffaloes. They shocked everyone with a 45-42 road win against No. 17 TCU, led by Deion Sanders in his FBS head-coaching debut. Colorado, considered a 20-point underdog, proved their legitimacy on the field. They had four players, Travis Hunter, Jimmy Horn Jr., Xavier Weaver, and Dylan Edwards, each with over 100 receiving yards in the game. Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s son, had a standout game, setting a program record of 510 passing yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions, and an 81 percent completion rate. It was a game full of highlights and impressive statistics.
With such a tremendous win, it won’t be surprising if the Buffaloes crack the Top 25 in the rankings. They have certainly earned that recognition, and it’s worth noting that this was their first road win against a Top 20 team since 2002. In just the first week of the season, Colorado has already matched their win total from last year. This outcome was unexpected, especially considering the transfer portal exodus under Coach Prime. But it goes to show that sometimes, new coaches and players can make an immediate impact.
While TCU’s winning streak against Pac-12/10 opponents was broken, the focus is on Colorado’s victory. Deion Sanders proudly declared, “We told them we’re coming,” signaling that the Buffaloes are a force to be reckoned with. It’s time to start believing in them.
Now, let’s talk about the impressive performance of the top quarterbacks in Week 1. Caleb Williams of USC threw for 319 yards and five touchdowns, showcasing his potential as the potential No. 1 NFL Draft pick. Drake Maye, who is also in contention for the top pick, proved his worth with 269 passing yards and two touchdowns. Other quarterbacks like Joe Milton and Drew Allar displayed their arm strength and playmaking abilities, making them exciting players to watch.
Saturday had its fair share of highlights and memorable moments across the country. From Indiana’s doink field goal to Boston College’s wild play on fourth-and-5, there was no shortage of chaotic moments. On the fashion front, the Houston Cougars stole the show with their Houston Oilers-inspired baby blue uniforms, while Penn State and West Virginia’s clash of colors wasn’t as aesthetically pleasing. Some notable scorelines include Division II Texas-Permian Basin’s 96-0 victory over Texas College and Oregon’s 81-point game against Portland State, setting a program record. And let’s not forget about the play of the day, Travis Hunter’s touchdown-saving interception for Colorado.
If you’re eagerly waiting for Texas to upset No. 4 Alabama in Week 2, their slow start on Saturday might have left you a bit uneasy.
