Initial observations from the CU Buffs’ 28-10 loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Deion Sanders’ first visit to Lincoln, Neb., as the Buffs head coach.
Goin’ deep: Every time the Buffs suit up, they bring the two best players onto the field with them in QB Shedeur Sanders and ironman Travis Hunter. The problem? There are still 20 other guys out there. And when CU faces a team like Nebraska, the pecking order for Nos. 3-22 skews too heavily in favor of the other guys. Sanders and Hunter (10 catches, 110 yards) are legit “Gonna play on Sunday” stars. But at the upper reaches of college football, it takes more than that to win big. One game does not make a season, but Saturday gave us more evidence this team isn’t much better than the last.
