Coach Deion Sanders boasts an ego as large as a solar system. But can his team win more than one game this season?
. That day, the Buffs were facing the heavily favored Nebraska Cornhuskers, yet somehow they jumped out to a 14-3 lead thanks in part to a 100-yard kickoff return by Howard Ballage. I remember thinking that CU had a chance to pull off an upset — at least until Nebraska reeled off 49 consecutive points en route to a 52-14 victory.
Also on hand were loads of former CU players, many of them also past and current NFL players: Kordell Stewart, Michael Westbrook, Alfred Williams, Green Bay Packers David Bakhtiari and Mason Crosby, Chidobe Awuzie of the Cincinnati Bengals, and many more. The format of the"contest" called for possessions pitting the first-team offense against the second-team defense, the second-team offense against the first-team defense, the third-team offense against the third-team defense and so on. But evaluating most of the individuals on the field was a fool's errand, particularly since Sanders has made it clear that he's still hoping to lure more standouts from other schools to CU via the transfer portal.
