Spring has sprung again on the University of Colorado football team, but this time it’s in Prime Time and there are new rules to follow under new head coach Deion Sanders.
This all became clear Sunday when the Buffaloes opened spring practice in Boulder wearing jerseys with no numbers on them.
They were blank for a reason.
“If you want a number – and I love this – you’ve got to earn it,” Sanders told the team in a recent meeting.
So began the most hyped set of spring practices in school history. After being hired in early December, Sanders has overhauled the roster with an incoming class of more than 40 newcomers, 29 of which have already enrolled for the spring semester.
