Colorado Takes Down Cincinnati 34-23 And Is Now Bowl Eligible
No, your eyes are not failing you. The success we are all witnesses of is very real and absolutely impressive. Colorado takes down Cincinnati 34-23 and is now Bowl eligible.
While Deion Sanders may not get the respect or credit he deserves. The proof is in the pudding. And his work is speaking volumes on the field this season. Deion is also responsible for an increase in revenue. The man has admissions up, crowds pack and sell out games and he is bringing more bucks to Boulder.
However, now this year it gets even better…Colorado will be “going bowling.” This accomplishment is something the school has not experienced in almost an entire decade. The last time this has occurred, when Colorado was eligible for a Bowl in a full season was back in 2016. As college football analyst, Max Chadwick for PFF puts it:
“Colorado going bowling two years after going 1-11 is an absolutely ridiculous turnaround.
Incredible how Deion Sanders changed that program overnight.
And there’s still four games left with Big 12 title hopes very much alive.”
SportsGrid’s Ben Stevens also had glowing remarks regarding Deion Sanders and the performance of Colorado. Sanders at the helm has been a game changer. Stevens states,
“Deion Sanders took over a Colorado program that won one (1) game the year prior.
Two years later, and just 8 games into the year, the Buffs are bowl eligible in a FULL season for the 1st time since 2016.
It’s just CU’s 3rd 6-win season since 2007.
Impressive, rapid turnaround.”
Now while some fans may say all of this Buffs success is due to a more lenient schedule. When you look at the roster, you still have to acknowledge there’s some good talent there. Like the phenomenon TRAVIS HUNTER! Just Superman on grass.
The player that looks in the mirror and sees a DAWG staring back at him. Against Cincinnati Hunter’s stats were:
9 Catches
153 Receiving Yards
2 Touchdowns
4 Pass breakups
A generational talent. Just give him the Heisman. Even AP’s midseason All American poll has Hunter ranked First Team for Offense and Defense.

Nevertheless, this drastic change in Colorado is also due to the staff surrounding Sanders. It takes a village and Deion is shaping the right group to get the job done.
On College Game Day, Nick Saban commented on this topic. We’ll leave you to simmer on his thoughts. He says, “I think the team to watch out for is Colorado. One of the things that Deion told me this summer was he finally had 2 coordinators. Offensive and defensive coordinator Pat Sherman, Robert Livingston, that believe like he believe. And was going to do what he wanted to do. And I think that shows up dramatically on how they have improved and show up playing both sides of the ball.”
