The amount of hits that Shedeur took in just the UCLA game alone
is the equivalent that most quarterbacks will take over a multitude of games.
He got sacked seven times against UCLA,
and he was under pressure for half of his snaps.
I know that he had to get a cortisone shot in the middle of the game,
but it really does speak to how tough this kid is.
What do you want to do, Shedeur?
Hyperbaric chamber.
Hyperbaric? Sounds good.
Right now, my ankle and my hip hurt.
All right, the recovery process is just... just getting treatment on it a lot.
Realistically, you're feeling it wherever you're hurting.
But you know not playing or quitting is not an option,
so you just deal with it.
You ready?
I'm just doing everything I can in my power every hour of the day
to make sure I'm able to be out there and perform my best Saturday.
It's not sustainable because eventually one of those hits is gonna break him.
And I don't know who this team is without Shedeur Sanders.
Coach Prime.
It's official, and it has sent excitement throughout the entire country.
Coach Prime led Jackson State
to back-to-back undefeated SWAC championships.
Now looking to turn around a Colorado program
that's had two winning seasons
in the last 17 years.
This ain't last year. This ain't an old team.
He's bringing Shedeur with him,
he's bringing Travis Hunter with him--
two of the biggest transfers in the country.
Do you know what he said to his players?
He said, "Jump in the portal."
Now there's a big deal because
over 50 players have hit the transfer portal.
Does anyone on this roster make it?
I need my purpose right now! I need everything you got!
This is the biggest experiment that we've ever seen in college football,
and I'm excited to see what this team has.
Pat Shurmur will take over play-calling duties
for offensive coordinator Sean Lewis.
The decision comes on the heels of Shedeur Sanders
getting absolutely pummeled against UCLA last weekend.
Was it Sean Lewis's fault that the offensive line can't block?
I guess.
This looks like a demotion to me.
Sean Lewis has had, I thought, a pretty damn good year.
When I got the alert that Sean Lewis was gonna be the co-offensive coordinator
and Pat Shurmur was gonna call the plays, I was shocked.
Anybody who's been around college football for a long time
and knows the reputation of Sean Lewis was equally, if not more, shocked.
We're going hard. Game-like tempo, okay?
When I make a change in personnel on the field or in the coaching aspect,
it's long thought out.
I don't make any changes of that nature based on emotions
because I'm not a seesaw type of a person.
I rock steady.
Back up! Back up! Back the ball up! Back up!
This summer, Coach Prime called and said he would like to have, you know,
somebody with my background join his staff.
Most often, working behind the scenes.
That's it. Good. Lookies, lookies.
And obviously that's ramped up a little bit now.
But, you know, I think we're all just still working together.
He wanted me to have a little bit more of an impact.
This should be good 'cause there's no edges.
When you're seeing a quarterback
take the pounding that Shedeur Sanders has taken,
I mean, that had to lead to replacing his play-caller.
Coach Shurmur is a man who's had 21 years
of professional experience, and he's done it at the highest of levels.
Give it a chance.
They started off so hot, and then things went a little bit awry,
and it felt like they just had to make a change.
They need to do a better job of protecting Shedeur.
So, you never want to have mid-season coaching change,
but it felt like this is one of those things
that's like, "We have to try something at this point."
This is not emotional.
I don't dislike Coach Lewis or what they're doing.
It just was time.
I'm consistently trying to take us to another level.
Hey, take a hitch and throw it.
There's no reason to make an inaccurate throw in that, right?
At this point, we're all grown men
and we're all here for a purpose, and that's to get to the next level.
Each person has to make a conscious decision to make that effort.
It is my obligation to this university
and to these young men that I put them in the best position
not only to win a football game, but to advance to the next level.
That's my obligation, and I'm gonna stick to that.
The one thing we've tried to do is coach the players that are here.
But understand, recruiting is the lifeblood of your program.
The better players you have and the better developed they are,
the better team you're gonna have.
If we can go into 2024 with a ten-piece.
We have, what, 11, 12 commits? We'll get some more.
Transfers could factor into that.
But, like, we ideally gotta use all 20 of them spots.
You gotta use all 20 spots, but you may not have to use all 20 visits.
Correct.
Expectations are always a fun word.
When you look at 2024 in Colorado, I know the expectations of Coach Prime.
The truth is, though, you've gotta develop, in year two, the roots.
You better watch church on TV. Man, we got work to do.
I would describe my role in the program as the keeper of our roster.
I don't wanna practice. I keep telling y'all.
I'm just saying we need to close the loop.
Yeah, we'll have a conversation with them.
My conversation always starts with Coach.
We're down the stretch, the last quarter of the season.
We'll continue our advanced scout, but now we'll start
to really self-scout us and see what our needs are.
Compare him to him at the same position.
I mean, I think the second one is more athletic.
Yeah.
- But, like... - He's young.
Quicker-footed, like it has more years left.
Of course, you wanna upgrade the roster by any means necessary.
And the transfer portal has allowed us to do that.
That block of time...
it's just us.
And if we have one meeting with Coach and one over here and one over here...
The more people and points of contact
helps alleviate that.
So, with that being said,
I have to be able to anticipate the potential portal kids and say,
"What are the pieces that we need to make 2024 magic?"
You've got four games left.
You have to win two if you're going to get to a bowl game.
This is an incredibly daunting task
because the schedule has only gotten harder and harder
as the team has gotten more and more banged up
and you have Shedeur dealing with injuries.
And meanwhile, you're running into some juggernauts.
It's funny that it's the last year of the Pac-12
because this is the best the conference has ever been.
Tomorrow night, he's gonna lead the Buffaloes
to play the Oregon State Beavers for Homecoming.
It's not gonna be an easy game that we play, especially from here on out.
Every game, we need to fight every single quarter,
every single down, every single minute, to get that win.
Let's bring up Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders!
The thing I love about what we've done this year
is we got our butts kicked one game.
Every other game, we've had an opportunity to win.
And we're gonna learn how to win, and we're gonna win for you.
And we're gonna give you what you deserve and what you desire,
and that's a championship-caliber football team.
If our head coach is confident,
we gotta be confident right there with him, you know.
But at the end of the day, we're the players out there on the field.
So, Coach Prime done did all his dirty work,
all the other coaches, they done did their dirty work.
That's why he put out 11 players on the field that believe.
God bless you. I love you.
You remember when we was down in Fort Worth
and I said, "I believe."
I believe.
I talked about, "We're not coming no more, we're here."
You remember that passion? You remember that fire?
You remember that intensity? You remember that dog?
You remember that want? You remember that need?
You remember the way we took the field?
You remember the way we went out there on offense?
The way we went on defense?
The way we went out there on special teams?
The way we went, period?
When we came back at halftime?
The way we went back out there?
Do you remember that?
Yes, sir.
- Because we believe, don't we? - Yes, sir.
That's how we started, and that's how we're gonna finish.
Look. Man, really?
Dog, really?
Amen.
My aunt! My aunt pray for me before every game.
We got a team going on in here, man!
We got a team going on!
It ain't about you, it's about us!
Oh, my goodness!
Ralphie is about ready to be unleashed out of the panels.
Here comes Coach Prime and the Buffaloes.
With the Buffaloes back home to take on Oregon State tonight
here at Folsom Field, the big story leading up to this ball game
was the coaching adjustments by Coach Prime.
Former NFL head coach Pat Shurmur now the co-offensive coordinator.
He'll be in the booth, calling the plays.
- What are we gonna do? - Win!
What are we gonna do? - Win!
Let's not beat us! Play your game! Confident!
Beat him! Beat him! Beat him! Beat him! Beat him!
Buffs gotta play four quarters.
This is a rock-solid Oregon State football team,
and it's gonna require playing start to finish.
Snap, fakes the inside handoff, throws a quick pass.
Travis Hunter. Oh, what a jump cut!
Slides to the left.
Now here comes pressure in his face.
He got hit and sacked.
A loss of 11 yards on that play.
Shotgun snap Shedeur. Here comes pressure in the face.
Lobs it down.
And Antonio's out there. Ball just overthrown.
Hey, bro. Bro. You gotta hit that.
Hit that.
Gets away from pressure.
Now running, grabbed from behind, and he comes down.
They needed six. He got five.
Snap taken by Shedeur, backpedaling.
Runs out to his right, steps back, rifles it off the back foot.
And Shedeur got knocked down.
He's getting hit every time he throws. Okay? He's getting hit.
Chiles takes the quarterback-designed draw.
Runs up inside and he gets by Bentley.
Running at the five to the end zone.
Dives. Touchdown.
Hey, we need to help three.
We need to help three 'cause that's definitely where they're going.
Buffs have got trouble here.
Snap, drop to throw, scans.
Looks right side. Caught.
Fenwick. Touchdown.
I'm in a little pain over here right now in this series.
I'm just... That's just painful.
Snap taken by Shedeur.
Drops, flush forward now, in trouble, grabbed, and he is sacked.
I don't care what you have to do.
You gotta get the ball out there.
Try your best not to take the sack, dog. This kills me.
Shedeur snap, steps up in the pocket.
Grabbed and sacked back to the 19-yard line.
Backpedals. Here comes pressure.
Gets away from one guy.
Rears out to the near side. Now hit as he throws.
Took a heck of a shot.
Fuck!
Shedeur's banged up, and...
Yes, he is.
You could tell he was in a lot of pain.
That showed itself as he was limping badly
as he went up the tunnel.
Fuck!
Fuck, man!
Mark, I think we're all in wait-and-see mode
to see what looks different with Pat Shurmur tonight.
So far, it looks similar.
And boy, you can just feel it in the crowd here.
Fifty thousand people here tonight, sellout,
and they're just sitting there waiting for something.
The Buffs fall to number 16 Oregon State.
They're sitting at 4-5 on the year.
We haven't found that level of consistency yet,
and that's what's truly disheartening.
Defense, y'all held your own. Y'all did what y'all supposed to do.
Offensively, we didn't do that.
Well, here we sit now, late in the season,
with three games remaining,
and Colorado still looking for win number five.
You got to be kidding me, guys. Come on! Defense, come on, man!
The Buffaloes' offensive line is just crumbling.
Come on, guys. Come on, guys.
Tied at 31.
For the lead.
Mata set, snap, swings the right leg.
Kick is up.
And it is no good.
Mata missed.
I challenge you today to be different.
I challenge you today to get it right.
I challenge you today to be the best that you can possibly be
and give it your all.
We're set for college football.
It's not a sellout.
First time this season the Buffaloes will not play
in front of a capacity crowd.
Got hit, ball pops loose.
Picked up, and it's running it in to the end zone.
Guys, I've never...
been a part of a team, or been part of a game
that I've actually witnessed coaches
and players quit.
And the whole thing that has kept me going, and kept me encouraged...
No matter what the media may have ever said about us,
I said, "One thing about these guys is they haven't quit."
You guys are quitting, man.
When you're somebody like Coach Prime,
that his entire life has competed and excelled at a certain level,
and when you're a Hall of Fame type of athlete like that,
you expect things to be that way all the time.
Coach Prime never before in his coaching history, his leadership history,
has he had a losing record.
This is the first time he's gone through something like this.
Um, these stats are...
Shoot, when you look at them...
It's unbelievable.
After the game, what did you tell your team?
What? What are you gonna say?
What do you say?
I'm still trying to figure out our identity,
trying to figure out who we are in turbulent times.
Is this the toughest stretch of your coaching career?
Oh, this is the toughest stretch of probably my life.
When you're not winning and you're not everybody's darling
and you're not everybody's favorite,
then it starts to be looked at a different way.
And so how do you handle the dark?
How do you handle the suck?
'Cause in the end, we'll see what he's made of
and we'll see what these boys are made of.
You're the laziest fucker I've ever seen. And I promise you, I'll let people know.
Set, go!
It's a fucking tackling drill, not a push!
You look at where this team was at the beginning of the season,
that TCU win, beating Nebraska by a good margin,
that exciting game against CSU,
there was so much belief that this team could be bowl eligible.
Right there. Go!
Unfortunately, that hasn't been the Buffs' reality,
especially with Shedeur's injury last game.
He finally went up and saw the ankle specialist.
High ankle sprain.
He's got a little bit of an Achilles strain too.
That's why he's having so much pain walking.
He got hurt when he scrambled and fumbled?
His foot went like this.
He's, honestly, got swelling on both sides.
We don't know what Shedeur's gonna do right now.
We're praying for him that he makes it. He's a little banged up, truly.
He's kind of been hurt through these last couple games.
He ain't really been getting his shot out there.
Injury is gonna happen in football.
That's when family comes in to play and lets you know that we've got your back
even when you're down, even when you're up.
All right, let's go. Regular, regular, regular, regular.
Defense, you look real lazy right now.
You look real lazy, defense.
We can't put up with that, man.
I want them to finish strong, and I want them to accomplish it.
And it's much easier with Shedeur, but it's gonna be a challenge without.
But we're gonna have to pull together as a unit if that's the case.
Everybody up.
Guys, right now, the way this practice is going,
you're gonna get your butt kicked.
And coaches, you're allowing it to happen.
I know some of y'all done quit, you ain't down till the end,
and I can see it plain as day.
And I'm not putting up with it.
So what we're gonna do, take your helmet, shoulder pads off.
Let's just get on the line and we're just gonna run for the rest of practice
so we at least can be in condition while we're getting our butts kicked.
Let's go.
Come on, Coach.
When we're not exceeding the expectations that he ordered for us,
it's like us letting him down and letting ourselves down, you know.
Come here, sir. No, Hart.
I'm telling you, dog, we just think different.
You still have an opportunity to play. You still have an opportunity to win.
End on a good note, man. Get something to build on.
They didn't touch the line, run them again.
Even if you graduate, don't you want to put some good film out there,
showing you winning a game or something?
Some of these kids, they ain't built like that, though.
The original question going into this was, can we be a unified and cohesive team
with people coming in the spring, you know,
a whole new batch coming in the summer?
At this point, I don't know if we are that.
First three games, you know, things were looking great.
But I think, you know,
everybody has a plan till you get smacked in the mouth.
I mean, that's what happened to us.
Fellas, y'all are here because y'all serve some type of leadership
and the respect that I have for you.
We can't let this thing slip away.
We can't allow your teammates to dial it in and phone it in.
We're too good to be this bad.
But we gotta finish strong, guys.
We gotta finish, and we can't quit.
And y'all can't let your groups quit. You can't let it happen.
You gotta stay on their butt, and that stuff starts in here.
So, hold yourselves accountable first
because you can't check nobody when you ain't in check.
And let's go.
Let's go.
All right?
It's on y'all, man.
Y'all lead this thing. All right?
Yes, sir.
Watching film after practice,
I mean, it's something I've always done since a freshman at Dartmouth.
I think it is a part of leadership.
And if you're gonna have the same expectations for someone else,
you have to do the same thing you expect them to do.
Comparing teams that I've been on at Dartmouth and how we were together,
win, loss, workout, summer, film study session,
no matter what it was, that was a team, that was a family.
I don't think we're there yet.
I think we've learned from the great experiment
that they were calling Colorado early on,
football takes camaraderie, football takes togetherness.
And no matter how many great players you bring together,
how many people are excited to wear your colors,
that actually takes time to cultivate.
Today's Thanksgiving.
What are we thankful today for?
- Family. - Family.
- What else? - Football.
Football.
Who said that?
Football. Amen.
Our faith.
Friends.
What about the food we're gonna consume a little later?
What else we got, fellas?
Each other?
Hell yeah.
Each other.
Some things you just take for granted I don't want you to take for granted.
We're playing a game that's measured by wins and losses,
and some of us are determining our lives based on the game.
You understand that, right?
So, make sure you prioritize some things in life that are dear.
Let's have a great day, and let's unite even closer today.
- We're good? - Yes, sir.
How you feeling?
Hurting. I ain't feeling good, bro.
How you feel about the season? How do you feel about this?
It's our last game.
We gotta come back next year and figure it out.
Yeah, I know you hate not playing
because you don't like to leave them stranded.
Yeah. I wanna play, but I just can't, like, physically.
Ain't no chance.
Just physically unable, brah.
I got you. We just gotta get Staub ready.
That's why you gotta put it up high, right?
Hey, repeat, repeat.
Shedeur's not gonna be able to go, but that gives Ryan Staub
a great opportunity to go out and put a winning performance on the field.
Sixteen, we gotta show him what he's capable of doing.
Right.
Go.
There it is. I love that one. There it is.
Shedeur wanna win and not only win, he wanna be great at it.
But if he's down, sometimes key players go down, you know.
Everybody just all that next man up.
Get up, get your tap.
At the end of the day,
we the players out there playing on the field.
Ryan's had a great week of practice. I feel like he knows what the plan is.
I think the players around him this week have executed in practice,
so it's a great opportunity for them to go out and show us what they can do.
Give it to him. Run, run, run, run, run! Score!
You can't keep dwelling on what we did in the past.
You gotta go on to that future.
If you're going into another game thinking about the game last week,
that can affect your game for the next week.
So, you just gotta come together and flip that page
and live where your feet is at.
Tighter, tighter, tighter.
You don't wanna end this season on two really down notes.
So, getting blown out against Utah would be really harmful for this team.
This is going to show what they really have,
what kind of foundation they have.
They're gonna be tested to see if they can come together
without their biggest on-the-field leader and put a performance together.
Coach, you okay?
I'm just hurting.
Just real stiff, and it's hurting right now.
They need to go out there, play for pride,
and give this fan base a reason to continue believing,
going into the off-season.
We come to you from Rice-Eccles Stadium,
where today it's the Rumble in the Rockies.
The Buffaloes at 4-7.
They have lost five in a row.
As Coach Prime said this week, they wanna end on an exclamation point.
They've got a chance against their rivals here in the Rocky Mountains,
that being the Utes of Utah.
First time I'm ever playing without you.
You've played without me.
Make this be the last.
We ain't doing this no more.
All right?
Well, you got guys out there, Gary, that have taken
virtually no snaps or none at quarterback.
This should be kind of interesting. I'm not sure what to expect.
Well, you know, you get to the last game of the year, Mark,
this is the kind of thing that happens.
You still gotta play the game.
The quarterback, Ryan Staub,
six-foot-one, 200-pound freshman.
He's played sparingly but did get quite a few snaps last week
against Washington State when Shedeur Sanders went down.
Off the left hip and Staub drops to throw.
Looks to his right, whips it out there.
The grab is made and it's a first down.
Good-looking pass there by number 16.
Good-looking pass, good-looking protection that time, Mark.
He's gonna have to get rid of the ball quickly.
Shotgun, Staub takes the snap.
Got hit from behind, ball comes loose.
And it's recovered by Utah.
Pulling out to the right.
Bottari tucks, goes to the end zone, dives.
Touchdown.
They haven't thrown one darn pass, man. This is pathetic, man!
And the Utes after the Buffs' turnover
turn it into a short drive and a score.
I got to just chill,
sit...
Quick throw.
- A double pass. - Double pass.
Caught by Jimmy. He's gonna whip it downfield.
Dillon's down there. Makes the grab at the two-yard line!
End zone! Touchdown!
Touchdown, Colorado!
Oh, little trickeration for the Buffaloes!
Dog, good call. Good call. Good call. Good call. Good call. Good call.
Looks, rifles it down the right side.
Travis is out there, dives, makes the grab in the end zone!
Touchdown! Touchdown, Colorado!
Number 12, Travis Hunter, does it again.
Staubs, he's sort of getting the hang of this whole thing.
Ruling on the field, the touchdown is under review.
So, they'll take a look at this one
to make sure that he had control.
After review, the receiver lost control of the ball.
It's an incomplete pass. It'll be fourth down.
That's bad, man. You guys are bad, man.
Field goal, field goal.
No, no! Mata!
It's too far, Coach.
Mata!
Make it. Make it.
Take the touchdown off the board.
Alejandro Mata is coming out now for a field goal attempt,
a 47-yard field goal.
This season, the longest that Mata has hit is 43.
Come on, Alejandro.
Snap, put down, swings the right leg.
Kick is up, it is on its way, and it is...
good by Alejandro Mata.
- Good call, Coach. - Foot down, Mata.
Foot down, Mata. No doubt there, Mata.
Aah!
Appreciate you, Coach.
I believe in you, boy.
I believe in you!
Under center, quarterback keeper for Bottari.
Good push up front.
Finally get the signal. Touchdown, Utah.
You just can't give up a sack, okay? You're doing a great job, yeah. Good job.
Seven and a half to play in the fourth.
Snap to Staub, sets, throws over the middle.
Grab is made by Travis.
Turns upfield! End zone! Touchdown!
Touchdown, Colorado!
And Ryan Staub with his first collegiate touchdown.
Great job.
23-17, Utah. 6:35 to play in the fourth.
Third and one from the 34-yard line.
And a quarterback sneak.
Got a good push up front.
And they got the first down and then some.
This is a classic example of being able to run it
when you have to run it.
- Yep. - And you wanna run it.
They burned almost six minutes off the clock.
So, the Buffs' season's gonna come to an end.
The Utes win the season finale
in the last Pac-12 game the Buffs will play.
They had a couple tough calls go against the Buffaloes,
but they end up falling today, 23-17.
And year number one for Coach Prime and the Buffaloes
comes to an end.
Hey, fellas, there was no quitting.
You guys played your butt off. You fought hard to the very durn end.
And I'm proud of you.
You have nothing, you have nothing to hang your head down with.
One thing about the Boulder faithful, you gave them all hope.
And they cannot wait till tomorrow and the next day and the next day
to see what we build.
I'm proud of y'all, man.
That's it, my boy.
Make sure you give your coaches a hug. Give them some love.
Have a talk with one of your teammates and just let them know how you feel.
All right.
Oh, it is a white tree, so it's kind of good to be up here.
Yeah, I know. And it's blue lights. It matches.
I'll build this. You do the rest.
Season's wrapped up now, so the off-season for me is pretty much,
I took, what, a day off, two days off, after the game Saturday.
Went back to the gym with my girlfriend today,
so I'm gonna be working out still.
Oh, I thought it stood by itself.
Hold on, undo this real quick while I plug up the lights.
Now, on the 2023 season, we didn't get what we wanted.
I mean, we tried our best to get a lot of guys to come in as one,
and that's kind of hard to do, knowing that we got a lot of talent,
but we wasn't able to put it all together
and have years under our belt with the coaches.
So, we just gotta do better next year with bonding.
Wait, no, I gotta admit, I can't reach it.
Yeah, you wanna do the top, but you probably can reach it.
You ain't that short.
Next season, I'm same play style. It's gonna be the same thing for me.
I love to be on the football field, playing and competing with my brothers.
So, that's my main thing, is to go out there and compete,
and I wanna be able to do that on both sides of the ball at all times.
I know what I can get you for Christmas.
What?
I'm gonna buy all your cleats for next year.
Oh.
For Christmas.
I'm gonna get them all pre-made.
No, I don't want them pre-made.
- No? - No, I like as we go.
'Cause we come up with different things as we go.
So, like, if you get them all pre-made, it's not gonna be right.
You used the whole box already?
- Yeah. - Dang.
Most about the 2024 season is we get another chance to play football,
get another chance to go out there and become a winning team.
I'm looking forward for a bowl game.
Hopefully, get to the national championship.
Just go out there and work.
All right. I'm gonna drive you.
You and everybody in the country know what we need to do.
You know what the first order of business is.
- O-line, D-line. - Thank you, sir.
O-line, D-line.
- Then linebackers. - Then linebackers. Yes, Lord.
But you know what? This year, we're going after all starters.
Mm.
Like, started. They've gotta have been a starter.
College football has changed, man. Ain't nothing free anymore.
This past season was the season of hope.
We instilled hope
in everybody that had anything to do with CU football.
Like, now, they, is not...
It wasn't one game that they didn't have hope.
I was having a good conversation with our new, uh...
Commissioner of the Big 12.
He said, a lot of people were coming to him, asking him...
Why are you so excited about Colorado?
And the potential that a--
Head Coach could be leaving to go elsewhere.
He said, Oh, no!
I never worry about him leaving.
He's not that type of guy.
He said, because he builds legacies, he don't inherit them.
I said...
ooh-wee!
We talk about the characteristics all the time
of what we want this team to look like.
Why not put a grade to it?
And can we?
Can you you put a number, one to five, on how fast the kid is?
That's something that's objective.
And then two, is it us, or do we let the coaches do it?
Recruiting is always fascinating, especially now in the portal era.
There's a lot of steps that go into being a competitive team
to being a championship team.
So, right there on that front left, we'll put what our needs are.
We know how many O-linemen we need, how many in each position.
As we continue to attain talent, those needs will just come off
until we don't have any more positional needs.
At the beginning of the season, the cupboard was empty.
We had nothing.
But now you have more of a keen sense of understanding what you have
and what you lack.
Now it's about getting those players
and then truly dropping roots into this community.
Okay.
This is therapeutic, bro.
You know, as I look back on the year,
would we like a few more wins?
Yes, but the energy that Coach Prime
has brought to our fan base and our community is significant.
I can't get over this crowd, first of all.
Oh, my God, this is unbelievable.
This is unbelievable. Look at this. Look at this.
Deion Sanders is not just a coach.
We ain't coming no more.
We here!
Things that we're trying to do here is bigger than wins and losses.
When you talk about Deion Sanders and the excitement...
All recruits, did you hear what he said?
...the fun, and, you know, the fashion
that he's bringing to college football.
Put them on if you can, please.
It's Deion.
Not only is he changing the coach, he's bringing the coach with him.
I think a multitude of people believed from day one.
A multitude didn't.
The love and the hate, that's what makes us who we are.
Thank you. I love you.
Whoo!
Being a part of, like, the restoration
within this season has been wonderful.
We're close to having success, we just ain't found a way to do it yet.
I'd rather have high expectations than no expectations.
So, we just gotta stay focused, stay patient.
This season was more of a hope.
And, although record-wise, we may have not reached our goals.
But there's a lot of goals that we did reach.
Next season, it's expectations,
and I cannot wait to see
what we put on the field next season.
Jordan Seaton, next year you will attend, dot, dot, dot,
which school?
The University of Colorado.
If you ain't rocking with us and you claim you're a dog,
why are you not coming to Colorado?
