Coach Prime’s Colorado Buffaloes had seen their lowest in the 2023 season. To overturn their fate, Prime came up with a revamped plan to enable the program to be at their best form on the field.

Knowing about this shift in philosophy while some analysts are deeply convinced, others have exhibited their doubt fearing the failure of their playoff contention. The detailed analysis revealed the Big 12 power rankings while Sanders produced a substitute training program.  

The YouTube show Prime Time for College Football shared a video of Deion Sanders from a few days back where the Buffaloes coach talked about their new strategy. According to Coach Prime, instead of focusing from the outside in, they have adopted an inside-out approach. Mesmerized at the coach’s confidence, the host said, he further disintegrates his stance layer by layer,Colorado was really good at the skill positions last year quarterback running back wide receiver defensive back but they struggled in the trenches and they need to get better there.”

However, for the prominent figure hosting Late Kick Live, Josh Pate, the CBS Sports analyst injects a note of skepticism. As per Pate’s assessment, Colorado’s standing in the Big 12 program seems volatile. According to Pate, “And there’s a ton of energy pumped into the program. So, I don’t know, it’s very volatile. You could put them at 7. You could put them at 12. I don’t know. I have no clue as to where to put Colorado. So, I put them at 10.” Surprisingly, Sanders is looking forward to making a gigantic comeback and is taking the road less traveled.

The standout participants of the grueling sessions included five-star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton, who contributed by steadily carrying boxes of ammo down the field, and the Paul Hornung Award winner Travis Hunter, who bear-walked and ran tirelessly.  

Even though, as per Pate’s analysis uncertainty looms around Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes standing in the Big 12 Program, Coach Prime is not letting it stop him from pursuing his dream. The infusion of energy into the program adds an intriguing layer to the narrative.  What do you think about the Colorado Buffaloes making it to the Big 12?
