"Colorado will get destroyed by TCU."
"Colorado will get destoyed by Nebraska."
"Colorado barely beat CSU."
One of these days the haters may actually be correct.
1-11 to 3-0. Sanders has already been a success.
He clearly improved the talent level at Colorado with all his transfers (especially on offense), there is no denying that. But they are also being WAY overhyped and last night was the first true proof of that.
Win over TCU was impressive however TCU should not have been ranked where they were to start the year.
Not sure who you think was saying Nebraska would destroy them.
And as for this past game....Colorado was a 20+ point favorite who needed double OT and CSU to commit nearly 200 yards worth of penalties in order to get the W at home. If CSU doesn't commit stupid penalty after stupid penalty they win that game in a route. Just under 200 yards in penalties...that is an insane number.
So yeah, Sanders has clearly improved Colorado in year one from where they were the past few years. But that team does not deserve the constant hype and attention they have been getting and they were exposed in a big way last night.
Oregon is going to shred that Colorado defense to pieces next week in Eugene.
