The Colorado Buffaloes turned the page after the disappointing 2023 season and have become bowl eligible. Moreover, with a win against Oklahoma State and some help, the Buffaloes could make the Big 12 Championship. Deion Sanders has been under heavy scrutiny since his arrival in Boulder, but his second season at the helm has earned him his due respect. Amid NFL coaching rumors, Primetime’s son Shedeur Sanders revealed his dad’s plans for 2025.
The Buffaloes face a season-deciding matchup with the Cowboys on November 29. The Buffs must win and hope for some of the top teams in the Big 12 to slip up in order to make the conference title game. Securing the Big 12 would be Colorado’s best shot to make the College Football Playoffs.
The season finale is paramount for Colorado, and head coach Deion Sanders has made it clear that his focus is entirely on the school in Boulder. However, as some NFL teams familiar with Coach Prime struggle, the buzz surrounding Deion’s possible jump to the big league continues to grow.
However, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders made a big admission on his father’s plans for the upcoming season and may have silenced the noise.
Head coach Deion Sanders of the Colorado Buffaloes talks with Shedeur Sanders #2 during the second half of a game against the UCF Knights at FBC Mortgage Stadium on September 28, 2024 in Orlando, Florida.
