Very fun game. Prime is someone to root for here.

I've been on the Prime Train for a while. It says a lot about college football.
1. Coaches with energy and core values are going to attract athletes and NIL money.
2. Offense wins.
3. Fans love energy and offense.

I was surprised with how legit his son looked playing a higher quality opponent. Very fun to watch
You play for Coach Sanders, you WILL say yes sir, no sir!
Look people in the eye.
Be held responsible and accountable and you’ll be respectful.
Core values.
Love it!!!!
What a game...How good is Travis Hunter? The #1 recruit from 2 years ago that shocked the Nation when he signed with JSU...What a Game...And QB Sanders magical game After week 1 ..Both jump into Heisman talk

CONTEXT. CU was getting 4 and 5-star transfers, while Rutgers was getting 3 stars at best. Prime is the pied piper, and I doubt another coach in the country can duplicate what he did in the portal.
The first week Prime met the team he told them:
"I'm almost 60 years old - I don't have time for you to mature."
180 from Schiano

Did TCU hire Ash as DC? Those were some super soft coverage. Congrats to Primetime.

a good win.
But Prime just might make the Buffs a winner in a few years and I won't say he can't.
Facts.
And what happened to TCU? I thought they were the model program a season ago. Flash in the pan?
Good for Prime and good for the Buffs. Happy for them. I love offense but the Big12 plays backyard football. Every possession is a score. That’s boring too.
The haters will use ANYTHING they can.
Coach "Prime" did well. But who out there is, or can be, another Coach "Prime"?
And it is one game. Is it a one-game aberration? I don't think so. But who else is like Deion Sanders, has top recruit kids he can bring with him somewhere... has the same media attention.. same type or reputation? Who can follow in his footsteps if he is successful long-term?
Answer: No one.
And those that try.. lets see what they do.
Coach Prime is not an example from which we can compare.. anyone. So using it to attach Schiano... it just shows the haters for they are.. pathetic.

Bum Philips said "Coaching is not how much you know. It's how much you can get players to do."
Sanders knows how to motivate but he also does know the game contrary to what some critics thought.
The great thing about Colorado is that its going to put a crimp in that yearly SEC recruiting lock. A lot more players in the SEC like Travis Hunter area will be drawn to Colorado. NIL money probably gets more mileage for patrons. Strahan has a business paying NIL to Hunter . Would that inestment be better at FSU? I dont think so.
Georgia probably wins NC again this year but in a few more years I could see Colorado becoming a phenom. Location is actually central to many regions with 2 hr flights. Its not as cold there as people think. I just hope Prime stays healthy because that's a bad situation he has healthwise
He won because his son may be the best qb in the nation
Prime:
"We gonna consistently do what we do because I'm here and I aint going nowhere - and I'm about to get comfortable in a minute. These young men, they believe. Not all of them believed before, but they came up, one by one, two by two, [to say] ‘Coach, we believe.' Now they believe. Boulder believes. People in the front office, people in the building, the fans, the students...Now, everybody wants to believe. I'm good with that we've got room."

Exciting game. Underdog wins in a high scoring game with plenty of lead changes. Sure beats watching a blowout or a 13 - 10 snooze fest.
Or in the least, Colorado is much better because they went from having a consistently awful QB to one who threw for over 500 yards and also happens to be Sanders son. QB is that important of a position.
Winning was not possible with our QB room last year. For whatever reason, there’s a large group of our fan base that doesn’t understand this.
Clueless OP doesn’t realize that Colorado bought much of their team, especially Sanders and Travis Hunter. If we did the same, we’d win similar type games. But we don’t have the support that Colorado does.
You are failing to recognize Coach Sanders part in this.
As Gef pointed out:
His personality, his core values, his energy/enthusiasm and ability to make players and supporters believe….Is the reason they were in position to buy and ATTRACT those players and coaches.
You can appoint any shlub head coach of Texas and the money and tradition will be there.
But if the energy/enthusiasm, belief and discipline is lacking…. NIL alone won’t win

I don't follow NIL closely but how many of these deals were already signed when they were at Jackson State as opposed to Colorado. They came because of Deion and his whole "aura" and "flash" can attract NIL money, especially if they back up all that flash.
I did a quick look and I saw some of them at JSU had already signed deals with Tom Brady's clothing brand and another company called Actively Black and who knows what else. It's not as if it all the money came in now. Getting to the P5 wherever it was would probably amplify that a bit. It's not a Colorado specific thing, it's a Deion specific thing and probably would've happened anywhere on the P5 he went.
I think the bigger takeaway regardless of whether Deion succeeds at Colorado or not is if you're a program down the CFB status pole, you stand a better chance of going off the beaten path than staying on it. It's harder to used the road widely travelled and the road less travelled might have a better chance of bearing fruit. No guarantees just possibly more potential. Deion wasn't thought of as a serious HC and hadn't done it on this level but if you're Colorado what have you got to lose. Take the shot, if he flames out well you are where you were before but if he works well then that's boon for you. So we'll see how it goes.
I wish we were on the Leach/Briles train long ago (10-15) years when it was still new and different and might have been ahead of the curve. It doesn't mean every hire off those trees would've worked but I think it would've had more potential for success. Now those offenses are becoming more widely used and we're still behind the curve imo and haven't gotten on the train.

In the case of Travis Hunter, NIL wasn't as primary as people might think. An unrecognized reason for going to jackson was that Hunter wanted to play two ways. He was a two-way starter in HS and he wanted to continue like that. Sanders is the poster child for breaking boundaries like that. Hunter wasn't going two ways at FSU, Bama et al.
Of course Prime was a top HOF DB with 14 years in NFL (13 more than NDs Marcus Freeman - who incidentally was never a HC). Fran Brown know the DB spot better than Sanders? Sanders' coaching ability really resonated with Hunter but so did the philosophical vigor. Prime sounds like a minister every day. Not a lot of players and teams would like that but Hunter did (Colorado's AD as well). Hunter also like the idea of supporting the black culture of HBCUs. With NIL deals and streaming players dont have to go to the usual big time teams.
Travis Hunter: “They didn’t believe us, but who did? God did!”
1:00 in see Coach's half-time message to the team. There is also post game scenes with players and coaches and admins cheering and tearing-up. If people think Prime rocked the portal last year just wait lol
