Colorado vs TCU Game Preview:
This game marks the first return of Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes to Dallas/Fort Worth since his first power 4 game in 2023. That game might be the high point of the Deion Sanders CU era as it marked a high point in fan optimism. In that game, TCU was coming off a national championship appearance and virtually no analyst in all of College Football picked CU to win that game. On the shoulders of a 500 yard passing performance by Shedeur Sanders and the arrival moment of two-way star Travis Hunter, the Buffaloes won that game in exciting fashion. The tale of this game is not that.
The Buffaloes and the Horned Frogs are both coming off disappointing 3 point losses in their previous games. Neither team has lofty college playoff aspirations early in this season. TCU handled their out of conference schedule but lost a close game to Arizona State. Colorado on the other hand, has been anything but what was expected. A relative game of musical chairs at QB. Coach Sanders seems to be settling in on Kaidon Salter as the starting QB moving forward, but that is not set in stone. Even with an improved offensive line that keeps finding itself at the top of applicable rankings, Colorado has struggled to run the ball or stop the run.
Deion Sanders and the Colorado coaching staff turned some heads after the BYU game when it was confirmed by Prime that WR Dre’lon Miller will be moving to RB full time. Miller came to Colorado with the reputation of being the next Deebo Samuel. Instead of being a WR who can run, Colorado aims to make him the RB1 and the TCU game could be the first glimpse of what that will look like.
