In Week 2, No. 22 Colorado is set to take on Nebraska in the Buffaloes’ first home game under the leadership of Coach Deion Sanders. Their debut under “Coach Prime” was nothing short of remarkable, with a thrilling 45-42 upset on the road against the reigning national finalist, TCU. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders made a stunning FBS debut, breaking a Colorado record with 510 passing yards. Moreover, the young Travis Hunter also marked his presence on the field as a two-way starter.

Meanwhile, the start of the Matt Rhule era at Nebraska had a different storyline.

However, the Cornhuskers’ defense held strong, limiting Minnesota to a mere 2.2 yards per carry.
