Just two seasons ago, the Colorado Buffaloes were the laughingstock of college football with a putrid 1-11 record. In what is now the second season of the Deion Sanders era, Colorado is a completely different program. After bringing in over 50 transfers again this offseason and appointing two new coordinators, the Colorado Buffaloes have established themselves as legitimate contenders.
Coming into Saturday's Week 12 matchup against the Utah Utes (4-5), the No. 17 Colorado Buffaloes (7-2) were sitting firmly in second place in the Big 12 with a simple goal. The Buffs simply need to win out, and they are in the Big 12 title game, playing for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
While the team's 49-24 victory on Saturday over the preseason Big 12 favorite may show just how good this team is, Sanders revealed after the game that the team hasn't even reached its full potential. Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images "You guys understand the progress and you understand that we haven't even put it all together yet," Sanders said . "Like we haven't even played our best game.
That should be in itself scary. When I said we coming and we still coming. We never stopped coming.
We are coming and we ain't nearly there...
Yet." Considering Colorado has now won its past four games by an average of nearly 20 points, the rest of the Big 12 and the college football world, in general, should be fearful of seeing what a complete game from Colorado looks like. The Buffs will finish off the regular season against two of the Big 12's worst teams, as they'll hit the road next weekend to take on the Kansas Jayhawks at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
After that, they'll finish off the regular season against the only team in the conference without a Big 12 win, Oklahoma State. Safe to say that Colorado got hot at the right time and has a chance to stay hot.
