If the wife said it, you gotta do it. It’s all about Deion Sanders once again. With the Colorado Buffs ending the year with Bowl eligibility and facing off against BYU during the Alamo Bowl, who do you think could take the win? See, Deion Sanders is not going to go easy for this game. Coach Prime has made it clear that he wants to end the year on the right note and even though the playoff didn’t happen, no one is going to complain if they grab the Bowl win. The best part about this game is that the Buffs pretty much survived the transfer portal exodus. So this means they gonna be at full strength to defeat the Cougars.

But now with all that aside, what do you think the former legendary coach Nick Saban said when he was asked to take his pick between Colorado and BYU on College GameDay? “I am not allowed to pick against Deion. Ms. Terry’s orders,” Saban had pointed out. Looks like Terry Saban is a Colorado fan. Who could’ve thought? We always knew Nick enjoyed Deion. Remember back in August? When Nick pointed out the impact Deion has had on SWAC and Colorado football?

“No one realizes the impact that Deion Sanders had on the SWAC,” Nick Saban had pointed out. It is quite true. The way the Colorado Buffs have changed in the last 2 years is quite wild. Going from 1-11 to 4-8 and now 9-3? This is called progress. 

Regardless, did you know this ain’t even the first time Terry has supported Deion? Yeah, when Coach Prime and his boys took to the gridiron against UCF (which used to be one of the best run offense teams out there), Nick had picked UCF to take the win.

Terry, however, went with Coach Prime. And the rest is history. The Buffs embarrassed the Knights with a 48-21 win and Shedeur Sanders was on fire with 290 yards and 3 touchdowns. “Miss Terry had my back. I love you. I love you, Miss Terry!” Deion Sanders had thanked Terry Saban. Coming to the Bowl game, though. Now, folks, this will be interesting.

The Buffs coming in for the win

See, the Cougars won’t be an easy team to tackle. They ended the year with 10 wins and have been pretty impressive as well. But going into the Alamo Bowl, BYU is going to feel the heat because QB Jake Retzlaff is going to miss out on his right-hand man.

WR Darius Lassiter will be out for the entire first half because of the ejection he faced during the Houston game. Yeah, the entire fight between him and Houston CB A.J. Haulcy has returned to haunt him.

And for the Buffs? Well, both Shedeur and Travis Hunter are coming back for this game. This is a massive deal. Where normal teams lose out on their senior players because of the upcoming NFL draft, Deion is going to have both of his wonderboys on the gridiron.

Buffs fans, get ready for one massive endgame!!
