The Colorado Buffaloes are headed to a bowl game, and star players Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter will be competing, despite their potential NFL Draft status. Coach Deion Sanders emphasized the importance of the game for the future of the Buffs, rather than focusing on their chances of making the College Football Playoff. Sanders vowed that his team will not “tap out” and highlighted the significance of finishing the season strong.
Sanders took a subtle jab at teams whose players have opted out of bowl games in the past, pointing out that it can have a negative impact on the program. Despite his rocky history with Florida State, Sanders is now fully invested in the Buffaloes and sees the bowl game as an opportunity to pass the torch to the next generation of players.
With a successful 9-3 season under their belt, the Buffaloes are looking to end on a high note and carry their momentum into next year. Sanders and Hunter’s decision to play in the bowl game is unexpected in today’s college football landscape, where many top players choose to sit out, but shows the dedication and commitment of the Buffaloes to their team and future success.
The fanbase is expected to travel to support the team, and with new recruits coming in and discussions about future donations to the NIL collective, the future looks bright for Colorado football. As the season comes to a close, it is clear that the Buffaloes are on the right track under Coach Prime’s leadership, with high hopes for the upcoming bowl game.
