BOULDER — Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes shocked the college football world Saturday by outlasting No. 17 TCU 45-42 on the Horned Frogs' home turf in the season opener for both teams.
The victory in Sanders' CU head coaching debut was the first Colorado victory over a ranked team since a win over Arizona State in 2019.
Coordinator Sean Lewis' new offense proved to be outstanding, racking up 565 total yards. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw for a school record 510 yards and four touchdowns, freshman running back Dylan Edwards scored four times, and four different Buffs had at least 100 yards receiving (another school record) to highlight a potent Colorado offense.
