tOfficial "Deion Sanders to Colorado" Thread

[Across The Field]

Colorado is entirely winning because of Sanders at QB. Reminds me a bit of when we had Denard and we were winning games just because of his ability to make things happen during chaos.

Colorado is entirely winning because their only two games have been vs. the worst P5 defense in the nation statistically in TCU and a Nebraska team that is a trainwreck from top to bottom.

Yeah, Sanders is my biggest concern. USC has struggled with mobile QB's for years. Hopefully, facing Caleb Williams in practice every day will help them be better prepared.

They have a bye this week, so they get an extra week to prepare for him.

Sanders is "mobile" but he really is not a runner in the sense that he is always looking to gash you for yardage with his legs.

Dude gets pushed back 20 yards and still....

This has to be a fucking joke. He gets his ass handed to him and then commits a facemask penalty and we're supposed to be impressed?

 

[osubuckeye89]

Colorado's oline, lack of real running game and not very good defense will keep them from being a top 15ish team. 8-4/7-5 is a great record though considering they were 1-11 with no hope last year.

Fox Sports app was so annoying to watch on these first couple of weeks

Tons of commercials either deep throating Colorado or fucking John Cena. Both equally annoying.

Careful. Deion could be listening and collecting receipts. Don't want to disrespect them.

So Colorado is your new Cincy?

I can't believe you went there.

Since i can't get the tweet to show up, I found this on twitter:

This morning Colorado State HC Jay Norvell got up, made himself a cup of coffee, and started his day just like any other.

What he doesn’t realize is he messed up big time. The way he got up and poured his coffee has disrespected the Prime family.

This is now personal.

Just make sure your team doesn't pray at midfield before the game and they should be ok.

That's true, but those are also teams they probably lose to last year; or at most split with. Having 1 player be dynamic, and that 1 player be your QB...that changes a lot. At this point I think they win games against bad teams, and lose games against most everyone else. So a 5-7 or 6-6 year is probably what they're shooting for.

I think they could get to 8-4

Ill chalk Oregon, USC & Utah (if healthy) up as losses.

They could maybe go 2-1 against UCLA, Oregon State & Wazzu

Colorado State, Stanford, Arizona State & Arizona should be Ws

I think 6-6 is the low.

The schedule is interesting from top-to-bottom and nothing will surprise me with the execption of them beating USC.

I think they lose to Oregon, USC, Utah, UCLA, Oregon State and Washington because by that time, Colorado will be exposed for exactly what they are and Deion's antics will be costing them dearly.

They very well could lose to all of those teams, But I think they beat at least 1 of them.

Yea them beating USC would be a huge surprise. Oregon would be somewhat surprising too, but considering Oregon just almost lost to Texas Tech, I wouldn't be so shocked anymore. The Game being @ Oregon does make it tougher though.

 

[osubuckeye89]

UCLA Oregon State and Washington State are all wild cards, I think they could beat most teams on the right day but they could also lose to about anyone on the wrong day.

I resemble that. Nebraska's defense has played well enough to be 2-0 rather than 0-2. Special teams has improved slightly thru two games from what it was last year. Tackling is much better. But when your office shits the bed time after time, has no deep threat at WR and a QB who has turned it over 7 times in two games, it's hard to win.

Nobody's doubting they are a better team than they were last year, but they have two wins over two teams that aren't gonna sniff a bowl game. Sanders might be good but we have no idea yet. He has the most passing yards through two games of any college QB since 2020. That QB? KJ Costello.

I'd be pretty shocked to this point if they lost to Arizona State, Arizona or Stanford. They'll beat Colorado State as well. Pretty much locked in at 6-6 minimum unless they have a total meltdown in 1 of those games. Don't think they'll finish above 8-4 and even 8-4 might be a stretch. 7-5 is doable though.

Also Sanders will probably but up big numbers even in losses, gotta remember the Pac 12 pass defenses were all completely awful last year. I doubt there's that drastic of improvement this year. Factor that in with Colorado's inability to run very effectively, he's going to be airing it out a lot.

Defensively, they're not horrible, that's fair. However I'm not sure I'd say it's been good enough to be 2-0. They're a LONG ways away offensively if what we saw vs Colorado's BS defense is the best they have.

Yeah that sounds about right. 6-6 seems fair. It'll be interesting what the narrative is the first time they soundly lose, though.
