Klatt еmphasizеs on protеcting Colorado QB Shеdеur Sandеrs

In a recent episode of ‘The Joel Klatt Show’ on Fox Sports, Joel Klatt talked about the hype surrounding Coach Prime and the Colorado team. He acknowledged the skepticism the team faced due to high expectations and emphasized the rarity of matching hype and potential with actual on-field performance. Klatt believes that it’s achievable for Colorado with the right adjustments.

His foremost recommendation was crystal clear: “When you match expectations, when you match the hype, it’s quite incredible if they get better in the right spot. If they protect Shedeur, they’re going to be competitive. If they fortify the offensive line, they’re going to be a really good team.” Klatt’s insight aligns with the crucial offseason priority for Coach Prime – fortifying the offensive line.

Coach Primе is activеly taking mеasurе for Shеdеur’s on-fiеld protеction

The Buffalo’s offensive line allowed 56 sacks in the previous season, highlighting the pivotal need to protect quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The importance of this focus on protection becomes evident when reflecting on Colorado’s 2023 performance. Shedeur Sanders faced constant pressure and ranked as the second most sacked QB in the power five category. The team’s rushing output struggled at three yards per carry and the receiving numbers, although substantial, lacked a definitive standout moment.

The 5-star OL Jordan Seaton and guard Tyler Brown, who joined the CU football team under Coach Prime’s leadership, are pivotal additions to the revamped offensive line. Despite facing obstacles, including the NCAA’s denial of his waiver, Brown is expected to compete for a starting spot in the upcoming season. Coach Prime is emphasizing a pro-experience approach in his coordinators and has placed offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur in a key role.

With offseason enhancements and a determined focus on building a winning culture, Colorado aims to reshape the national narrative and ascend to the top under Coach Prime’s leadership. As Prime aptly puts it, “This is the worst we’re going to be. You better get me right now.” The Buffaloes are gearing up for a season that promises transformation and the establishment of a new winning tradition.
