When the Colorado Buffaloes were defeated 28-10 by the Nebraska Cornhuskers, naysayers were all aboard the Coach Prime hate train. Quick to predict that the Buffs were going to have a similar season as last year. However, Ryan Clark was quick to jump to the Colorado HC’s defense, even as he gave a solid thrashing to his haters.

“When you hear Prime Time, what do you think of?” asked Channing Crowder on their Pivot Podcast. “Deion Sanders,” replied Clark, and that was enough of a push for the analyst to call out the Coach’s haters. He earnestly expressed:
“Nobody is telling the story of a man that took a team that won 1 game [last year] and is now 7-2 and competing with an opportunity to win the Big 12.”
Citing Sanders’ impact on ticket sales to the increase in school enrolment, Clark highlighted how his detractors often overlook these positive aspects in a bid to undermine the HC. Clark also pointed out that all Sanders has done is stand up for the team as a leader.
Furthermore, he once again made a case for Sanders to join the NFL next year. Given Mike McCarthy’s potential exit from the Cowboys next season, Clark lined up the perfect landing spot for Coach Prime’s NFL debut.
His addition to the team would invite the eyeballs of the world, and Jerry Jones would love that, per Clark. After all, Sanders is a trademark name, and its prints are evident. Take the recent clash against Utah, for example. It was a testament to the HC’s skills and the players’ commitment.
Latest win takes Buffaloes closer to the Big 12 championship
On Saturday, the Sanders-led Colorado Buffaloes crushed the Utah Utes 49-24. The team collectively delivered a sensational performance with spotlights on Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders, and the defense.
The dual-threat player scored a 5-yard rushing touchdown and caught 5 passes for 55 yards on offense. On the defense, he made 3 tackles and an interception.
Meanwhile, Shedeur delivered some promising stats with 3 touchdowns for 340 yards and a QBR of 86.9, despite a shaky start to the game. Hunter’s two-way deliverables had Coach Prime saying, “Travis is the epitome.”
With this victory, the Buffaloes are 8-2, and only two games are left in their regular season. If they manage to win both, they will enter the Big 12 championship in Arlington, Texas, on December 7.
