The Colorado Buffaloes made a huge statement in their season opener against No. 17 TCU, upsetting the Horned Frogs 45-42 in Deion Sanders’ coaching debut. It was a thrilling game that saw the Buffaloes rally from a 21-point deficit in the second half to pull off the upset.
The Buffaloes were led by quarterback Sam Noyer, who threw for 367 yards and four touchdowns. Noyer was at his best in the fourth quarter, leading the Buffaloes on two long touchdown drives to take the lead and seal the win.
The Buffaloes defense also stepped up in the second half, holding TCU scoreless in the fourth quarter and forcing two turnovers. The defense was led by linebacker Nate Landman, who had a team-high 13 tackles and two sacks.
The win was especially sweet for Deion Sanders, who was making his head coaching debut. Sanders was hired as Colorado’s head coach in March and has been working hard to get the program back on track. The win over TCU was a great start for Sanders and the Buffaloes, and it showed that they are ready to compete in the Pac-12 this season.
Overall, it was an exciting game that showed that the Buffaloes are ready to compete this season. With Sanders at the helm and Noyer leading the offense, Colorado looks poised to make some noise in the Pac-12 this year. It will be interesting to see how they fare against their conference opponents in the coming weeks.
