This game is an instant classic! The Storyline of Deion Sanders' making his FBS Coaching Debut for the Colorado Buffaloes as they played the TCU Horned Frogs, whose last game had been playing in the national Championship in January.
The 'expert" said Coach Sanders was doing it all wrong. From former Buff's stars leaving in the transfer window, to naming his son the starting QB, and some of the kids he coached since they were 4-years old to starting positions. and White helmets? C'mon Coach Prime!
Well Sander's innovations and culture change had the University of Colorado shock the college football world on September 2, 2023 by outlasting No. 17 TCU 45-42 on the Horned Frogs' home turf in the season opener for both teams.
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw for a school record 510 yards and four touchdowns, freshman running back Dylan Edwards scored four times, and four different Buffs had at least 100 yards receiving (another school record) to highlight a potent Colorado offense.
It was a shootout right to the last minute!
