In Week 2, No. 22 Colorado is set to take on Nebraska in the Buffaloes’ first home game under the leadership of Coach Deion Sanders.

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders made a stunning FBS debut, breaking a Colorado record with 510 passing yards. Moreover, the young Travis Hunter also marked his presence on the field as a two-way starter.
