The Deion Sanders influence has already taken over the CU. From the moment he arrived, there was a buzz of anticipation, but now it’s become a regular occurrence for experts and analysts to sing his praises. The team’s victory in week 1 was nail-biting, but this week’s win with a 22-point lead was truly impressive. Additionally, the new and improved Colorado has now doubled the wins it had last year. Once again, Shedeur Sanders became the star of the show, showcasing his remarkable athletic prowess.

The final score of 36-14 has sent shockwaves through the football community. However, Coach Prime’s post-game interview was a departure from the previous week’s, when he didn’t even hesitate to silence the critics.

The Colorado Buffalo also had a formidable offense!

Nebraska’s struggle against CU was palpable, evident in their four turnovers, a missed field goal, and six costly penalties. Even their star QB, Jeff Sims, faltered with two mishandled snaps in the first half, which only played to CU’s advantage. Shedeur Sanders, too, faced early challenges with seven sacks, but he quickly rebounded, finishing an impressive 31 of 42 for a remarkable 393 yards. He notched two passing touchdowns and added a rushing touchdown to his tally. Notably, Xavier Weaver emerged as Shedeur’s favorite target this week, catching 10 passes for a stellar 170 yards.
