Photos: Relive the CU Football Team’s Beatdown of Nebraska

In just two weekends, the University of Colorado football program increased last year’s wins by 200 percent.

That’s not saying too much, since the Buffaloes only managed to win one game in 2022 — but it’s still safe to say that the Deion Sanders era has started off strong.

On September 2, the Buffs narrowly defeated Texas Christian University, which had  played in the College Football National Playoff Championship last year; CU was a twenty-point underdog but won by three points. On September 9, CU trounced the University of Nebraska 36-14. 

While the Buffaloes’ last truly excellent head coach, Bill McCartney, called on Jesus Christ, Sanders himself could be the second coming for CU fans, who’ve battled through decades of lackluster football.
