“There was none before him. And there will never be another like him ever,” were the proud, proud words of Deion Sanders for his former JSU staffer and the QB who carried on his legacy at Falcons. When the time came, Micheal Vick proved his stalwartness toward Prime 100%. It doesn’t take much for the fans to demean Colorado, especially now that they have their 4-8 record to bring up whenever the Buffs make a mistake. But not in front of Vick.

“Bro, this game is going to be *ss. Colorado will win by 40 at least,” a fan wrote on X. It was a reply to Vick’s post showing his anticipation for the ‘Rocky Mountain Showdown‘ this season. Well, Vick was not about to have anyone subdue his excitement for the game. “That’s what people thought last year as well,” Vick quipped. To further cement his retort, Vick shared the numbers from the last clash between CU and CO State. The game against CU State Rams was one of the 4 games Colorado won last season. 43-35 was a proud win that Deion Sanders and Co. made on September 13, 2023, also marking another win in the classic rivalry.

With all the hype Deion Sanders and Co. have created surrounding their performance this season with their “We Comin’,” claim, making the fans believe that the Buffs will make a strong comeback this season, Vick was positive that it would be another win in Colorado’s pocket this year. If it happens, Colorado will be adding the victory to their 68–22–2 lead against CU State in the Centennial Cup race. Set to be on September 14th, Vick couldn’t contain his excitement as he posted, “To all college football fans here’s a game to circle on your calendar….Sept 14th in Ft. Collins…Colorado vs Colorado State,” Vick tweeted. Amid this, there is only one apprehension that is nudging the fans’ excitement: Will the mounting criticism against Deion Sanders and Co. affect their win this season?

All the criticism against Deion Sanders and Co.

Since Shedeur Sanders is gearing up to make the switch to the NFL next season, the draft scouts are not mincing their words a bit. Top NFL scouts are dissecting every move of Shedeur Sanders, the leading QB of the Buffs. The intel from top NFL scouts and general managers has also hinted at Shedeur Sanders needing more refinement before entering the league. “One is the consistency of making decisions, holding on the ball, and understanding this.” 

With the responsibility of having a QB who is not NFL-worthy leading their team, Colorado is also ridden with negative claims from their former players. Cormani McClain and Xavier Smith are two people whose negative claims garnered the most attention. While Deion Sanders has given them a biting reply, the fans have not left any stone unturned while bringing Deion Sanders and Co. down after their claims. Will Colorado find a way to emerge victorious against the Rams while battling with the pressure mounting from all the trolls? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
