Hunter, Edwards and Shedeur Sanders lead an entirely new roster after new head coach Deion Sanders cleaned house following the Buffaloes 1-win season last year. Sanders hired former Kent State head coach Sean Lewis as Colorado’s offensive coordinator, and it looks like he’s engineering another electric and exciting offense. Coach Prime’s quick rebuild is trying to produce just the third winning record for the Buffaloes since 2005.

Colorado is competing in the Pac 12 for the last time before moving to the Big 12 next season and playing TCU more often as a conference rival. What’s next for Colorado? The Buffaloes return to Boulder and a Week 2 clash with former rival Nebraska. Folsom Field will be surrounded by a full house of more than 50,000 fans waiting for Ralphie the Buffalo to run wild and Coach Prime to unveil college football’s most talked about team in their home opener.
