Deion Sanders leads Colorado to victory over TCU Horned Frogs in Week 1

FORT WORTH – Anyone expecting Deion Sanders to be humbled in the spotlight of major college football was sorely mistaken. His Buffaloes ran past a TCU Horned Frogs team that went undefeated in the 2022 regular season and reached the national championship game in a 45-42 victory. His son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, threw for 510 yards and four touchdowns. Two-way star Travis Hunter was one of four Colorado receivers to tally over 100 yards receiving. He also recorded an interception. 

And this wasn’t a fluke. Prime’s squad looked like the experienced roster under an experienced P5 coach. Colorado forced a three-and-out on TCU’s initial drive and then went on a 13-play drive that spanned 73 yards and ended in the end zone. The first three Colorado drives lasted at least 10 plays.
