What's standing out tonight is that Shedeur Sanders didn't inherit his daddy's speed. He looks kind of slow out there.

I never really noticed it before because he didn't have to scramble a ton vs TCU and Nebraska.

Colorado survives in OT. CSU pissed their pants during the final few minutes of the 4th qtr.

Had them pinned downed at their own 2 with 2 minutes to play and they decided to go with a soft zone defense. Their normal defense had Colorado locked up all night up until that point.

As much as Deion, FOX Sports, and ESPN have been going on and on about "it now being personal", Colorado had better win tonight's game by at least 4 scores.

A 10 point win after all this chest thumping would look weak, IMO.

It's starting to feel manufactured now to me.

Y'all are such haters.

I doubt any other team could have defeated the CSU powerhouse that has won seven games total in the last four years.

To be fair, Colorado is 5-19 in their last two seasons, so them turning it around like this is impressive.

But yeah, they are definitely over hyped.

If they beat Oregon I'll be impressed. Oregon is usually overrated some also, but at least they're a legit program.
This is the point that irritates me.

I've never seen a team get so much credit for barely scraping by bad/down football programs. There is zero context applied when it comes to Colorado's wins.

TCU is in a rebuild. Everyone wants to keep pointing to the fact that TCU played in the National Championship game last year but no one wants to discuss how that was a completely different TCU squad that only had 10 returning starters.

Nebraska has been an absolute train wreck the last few years. They had a RB masquerading as a QB (Jeff Sims) playing vs Colorado.

Then last night they beat a shitty Colorado State program led by a run of the mill freshman QB.

They beat crap teams then everyone celebrates it like as if they just beat Ohio State. I'm not even rooting against them. The way that they're covered is just annoying.

Yeah I mean it's still a big turn around for a god awful program but they aren't a playoff team either. It is what it is, I'm happy for Colorado. But they still have work to do.

As much as the media is firmly entrenched on Deion’s junk, the polls aren’t. Colorado dropped one spot in the AP poll.
Washington State is 3-0 as well and their wins have been more impressive than Colorado's. Yet Washington State is behind them in the polls.

WSU even destroyed this same Colorado State team that Colorado struggled to beat.

WSU isn't the media darling that CSU is. Helps when your coach is a pimp.

The part that annoys me about the "Coach Prime" hype is he isn't even coaching. They showed him a hundred times on the sideline of the CSU game and only once did I see him bring his headset microphone down and talk to someone. Otherwise, he's just listening in to the coaches do the job and being the face on the sidelines.

The media has all they need to create and perpetuate a sensationalistic and controversial story each week. Without Deion it’s just a run of the mill everyday story with local interest. With him however he is a more than willing participant than most in the same circumstance. To me he is a fortunate coach to be 3-0. What will be his disposition when a loss rolls around and it will.

The Travis Hunter injury:

Was it really a dirty hit?

Little late, but didn't look dirty to me.

Hell, it didn't even look like it was that hard. He was kinda pulling up when contact was made.
