Seems like he has found a purpose in teaching effective defense to the young men of Colorado's defense and they're playing well. He went back and got his Bachelor's degree and is taking graduate classes at CU and appears to be providing a lot more than football wisdom to the fellas. Good on him. Warren Sapp and Colorado’s new attitude

It's interesting how much hype there was a year ago compared to now when you put the results side by side. Yes, they changed conferences. Yes, they have a veteran led team with a lot of players who will be in the NFL next season. Be that as it may, they're quietly positioning themselves for a potential playoff spot.

Utah at home, away to Kansas at Arrowhead Stadium is what remains.

In his post game speech he told the players that not one of them gave their best effort today against Kansas. I'm sure he did as coach though.

Shedeur also not receiving a suspension for pushing a referee last Saturday. Going to be "handled internally by the CU program".

Coach gonna give him a stern talking to. Lol.

Bad decision. He blatantly and rather aggressively shoved the ref from behind. It wasn't a little bump you sometimes see when a referee tries to break up some extracurricular activities.

Sanders is just annoying. Quite frankly everything that is wrong with America. If you don’t get what Uou want or what You think you deserve, butch enough until you get something. Sanders has got to be the worst D1 football head coach in the game. He has had the absolute luck of having two extremely talented players playing for him in a cupcake conference. Yet this dude flat out makes bank between his coach salary and media opportunities. In a commercial with Saban, the best coach there was and Sanders, the flatout worst.Give me a break!!

Colorado's Travis Hunter wins 2024 Heisman Trophy in closest race since 2009

Hunter is the fifth non-QB to win the Heisman in the 2000s.

QB heavy award goes to a WR/CB.

TH said on the Pivot Podcast that FSU was not going to let him play both ways. He wants to play both ways in the NFL.

Good kid who seems to have a very proper perspective and has his eyes on the prize.

Playing both ways is fine when you're on a mid level p4 team surviving off the talent of a handful of guys. But you aren't out athleting Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson. First time he gets roasted at corner because he's tuckered out, they'll bail on that experiment.. if they ever get to it.

Most kids don't even play both ways in high school anymore. He did it at an HBCU, then the Big 12 and won the Heisman. I get what you're saying, and it was proposed to him by Channing Crowder and Hunter said he wants to do it and isn't afraid of failure. Those conversations are going to happen leading up to the draft, but good for him for being willing to do it.

I think he's a better corner than receiver.

I give him credit for even wanting to entertain the idea. He's not opting out of his bowl game either.

Maybe this is the future of CFB recruiting in the modern NIL/porty era, who knows. It seems like Belichick is going this way too (he needs more time to spend with his child bride, er, I mean his girlfriend) Colorado coach Deion Sanders again made no recruiting trips: 'I'm not doing that'
Click to expand...
Who knows. But Colorado just signed the 37th-ranked recruiting class in the country. (And 26th in the portal rankings for what they're worth). That's not going to win you a lot of playoff games. If that's even the goal here.

Not gonna lie, I expected him to do the smart thing and bolt with his son out of the picture. I can't see how they're going to perform better unless they strike gold with a transfer QB, but the chance one is good as his son is unlikely. Plus they're losing Hunter, their other star. They weren't world beaters to begin with, and with a lack of team chemistry from bringing in all these NIL mercenaries? Next season feels like bad news for Sanders.

I mean, who knows. One saving grace is they play in the Big 12 and that entire conference feels like a year-to-year crapshoot. Last year they got better as the season went on, and narrowly missed the conference championship game. They must have some other good players? And looking at next year's schedule, they play most of their seemingly toughest opponents at home (BYU, Arizona State, Iowa State, Ga. Tech).

But, yeah, there don't appear to be another Hunter and Sanders coming up through their robust developmental pipeline.
