We're surprised, too. But happy!
Coach Deion Sanders led the Colorado Buffaloes to a 45-42 victory over TCU in their first game of the season. The Buffs have been a humble unranked for years. (Last year, they only won one game.) TCU was 17th -- and the national runner-up last year.
Did TCU do the Michigan thing: get a bighead and assume they didn't have to play hard? At least the Wolverines beat East Carolina 30-3 in their first game of the year...without coach Jim Harbaugh, who is still suspended. (Go Blue!)
Back to the Buffs vs Horned Toads game, played at TCU's home field:
Shedeur Sanders, the coach’s son, threw for 510 yards with four touchdowns, the game-winner a 46-yard catch-and-run by freshman Dylan Edwards with 4:25 left, and the Buffaloes pulled off an opening shocker...
Edwards caught three touchdowns, including a 75-yarder in the opening minute of the second half when he turned another short pass into a big play. He also ran for another score.
Two-way starter Travis Hunter, the former top recruit who came with the quarterback and coach from FCS school Jackson State, had 11 catches for 119 yards.
Guess the coach's son really does earn his keep.
Keep it up, guys. Next game: Sept. 9, 10 a.m. Mountain Standard Time against Nebraska.
GO BUFFS!!!
