The Colorado Buffaloes are entering week 5 with a thrilling victory last week over Baylor. Their 38-31 win is still a hot topic for fans. Prime Times two-way star Travis Hunter was everywhere, effective in both his defensive and offensive duties. At the same time, Sheduer Sander’s Haily Mary touchdown at the right moment helped the Buffs secure their victory because the Beras were also looking strong; it was just that it wasn’t their day. The Buffs star prevailed, and Coach Prime knows his team got away with some mistakes. The star-studded line-up of the Buffs isn’t limited to their roster. Coach Prime’s staff has some stars too, and a few of them garner headlines for their social media posts.

Former football player and member of Deion Sanders’ staff at the Buffs, Warren Sapp, often makes headlines because of his Instagram posts and stories. This time, his Instagram posts made Hall of Famer Ray Lewis laugh out loud. Sapp posted his photo from a swimming pool and captioned it “Outta body experience!! #SappNotFishing. Good morning.

Lewis knows Sapp’s colorful personality, and for him to capture attention with his aura is no different. Sapp and Lewis have played a lot of football together, and both are iconic figures in the world of college football. At the same time, they share a deep respect for each other’s careers. Moments like this, which are filled with humor and fun, make fans happy and give them a reminder of the bond the former players shared.

Sapp and Lewis were part of the same college program. Warren played his college football with the Miami Hurricanes from 1991–1994. Ray joined the program a bit later and played his first college game in 1993. He continued with Hurricanes till 1995, where he established himself as one of the most formidable linebackers. Hurricanes not only helped them with their football foundation but also forged a strong friendship.

Sapp wants better returns from the Buffs’ defense

Last year, the Deion Sanders team had the worst defense in college football. They played a total of 8 games but could win only 4 out of them, mostly because of their weak defense. They allowed an average of 34.8 points per game, which is a hard reality and stats to accept from Prime Time’s football program. However, this year, a lot has changed for them. And they were trying their best to be on the winning side. Warren Sapp plays a huge role in keeping the Buffs focused on winning.

During the fall camp this year, Sapp made it very clear that he has joined Buffs for a reason, and he is very serious about his business. He strongly warned opponents not to take Buff’s defensive lineup lightly this season. Although he was having a serious conversation, Sapp being Sapp, added a touch of humor by comparing the defensive line to a stockpile of bullets and said, “You get shot with a.38 or.9 mm, you pick.” He added, “Last year, we couldn’t stop the run, and that won’t happen with me here.” 

Sapp made his intentions very clear with his statement. His confidence has helped transform the team’s defensive mindset. His strategy in 2024 so far is on point. Let’s see if they continue to carry forward their winning streak against UCF in week 5.
