The Colorado Buffaloes hosted the Utah Utes on Saturday in a game they needed to win to keep their Big 12 Championship and College Football Playoff hopes alive. Deion Sanders' squad sits at 7-2 and No. 17 in the country after finishing 4-8 in 2023.
Although the game kicked off at 10 a.m. MST, fans showed up in full force, with the team’s social media announcing a sellout crowd of 50,000+ fans.
NBA legend Rajon Rondo was also in attendance to support Deion Sanders and get a glimpse of Colorado's stars, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. Before kickoff, the Buffs' social media team shared another post but this time of Rondo delivering a message on the sidelines. "Rajon Rondo out here in Boulder," Rondo said.
"Finally made it. Supporting out for coach Prime, Deion Sanders. Let's get the dub.
Let's get it." NBA legend Rajan Rondo in the building đź‘€ pic.twitter.
