Despite being viewed as a first-rounder seemingly all season, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is now being viewed as a non-first-round talent. I dive into the latest reports on the situation, explain why I think he has the talent to be one, and also the demand for quarterbacks is as high as ever with a draft class that is as weak as they come. 09:05 The Las Vegas Raiders just fired head coach Antonio Pierce, which, of course, has led to the discourse of Deion Sanders becoming the coach and drafting his son. I break down how worried Colorado fans should be, and make the case for him as the head coach and also make the case for him remaining in Boulder. 16:16 Lastly, the Buffs added yet another talented player from the transfer portal. I break down his impact, and why I love what Deion Sanders is doing in the transfer portal.

On this episode, I break down why Colorado struggled against BYU, why I was wrong heading into the game. Colorado entered the Alamo Bowl against BYU with a mix of excitement and apprehension. While they had enjoyed a remarkable turnaround season under Deion Sanders, doubts lingered about their readiness for the high-stakes matchup. The Extended Layoff: The long break between the regular season and the bowl game posed a challenge. Maintaining momentum and focus can be tough after a period of inactivity, especially with the allure of the offseason looming. BYU's Strength: The Cougars, despite not being a traditional powerhouse, proved to be a formidable opponent. They boasted a potent offense and a strong defense, capable of disrupting even the most dynamic offenses. Unfavorable Bowl History: Colorado's track record in the Alamo Bowl wasn't encouraging. The program had experienced disappointing performances in the past, raising concerns about a potential letdown. These factors combined to create a sense of uncertainty within the Colorado camp, despite the team's significant progress throughout the season. While they were confident in their abilities, the challenges ahead were undeniable. I also dive into superlatives! We crowned the Heisman Trophy winner, but who were the electrifying players that needed some more shine that didn't get it ? I breaking down the most explosive offensive and defensive stars!
