00:00And of course, with the newcomers into the Big 12, we have to highlight Colorado.
00:08Prime era year two in Boulder.
00:11See you off to an illustrious start at the beginning of last season.
00:16Four wins by the time September was done.
00:19Over their preseason win total of three and a half.
00:22Immediate improvement from a one win season the year prior to Deion Sanders taking the
00:27reins in Boulder.
00:29But from that point on, not many more wins.
00:31In fact, no more wins for Colorado.
00:34A four and eight record.
00:36Five and a half the win total for the Buffs entering 2024.
00:40Things are a little bit different in terms of the scale and everything that follows Coach
00:43Prime.
00:44And that's the notoriety that he wants in Colorado, frankly, deserves.
00:48But what does it mean from a success perspective?
00:51What does success look like this season for CU?
00:54Six and six bowl eligibility.
00:56That's what it has to be.
00:57And Deion did a fantastic job in year one.
01:00Started right from the get-go.
01:0120 and a half point underdog knockout TCU.
01:04Offensive line needs to get better.
01:06Shador Sanders hit multiple times and sacked 50 plus times last year.
01:10They could not run a dead last in FBS averaging 68 rushing yards per game.
01:15If they could have that type of success, more offensive balance, that'll lead to six or
01:20potential seven wins.
01:22And that is success in year number two.
01:25When you look at the Heisman Trophy odds, Shador Sanders is a little bit down the list
01:29at 40 to one.
01:30You could keep going to the dynamic playmaker who does it all in Travis Hunter at 65 to
01:36one as well.
01:37Both have legitimate shots and being in the Heisman Trophy conversation throughout the
01:412024 college football campaign.
01:44Colorado will be on center stage week number one, a primetime game for Coach Prime.
01:50The Thursday night before the first full Saturday against FCS Powerhouse, North Dakota
01:56State.
01:57It is less than a two-score spread.
01:59Frankly, I can't believe Colorado scheduled the game, but we'll see what happens, followed
02:04by a trip to Lincoln the following Saturday in week number two against what we both expect
02:09to be an improved Nebraska Cornhuskers football program.
02:13Deion Sanders has built his program through the transfer portal.
02:17Transfers out, transfers in.
02:19They are hoping for the talent to gel together quickly this year in Boulder.
