FORT COLLINS, Colo. — There’s a pulse at Colorado . No, that’s not reflected in the head coach wearing shades at night while (seemingly) filming an endless series of commercials during the day.
There’s a pulse at Colorado that doesn’t involve silly media feuds that distract from the build Coach Prime has underway.
There’s a pulse because on Saturday night at Colorado State , it looked like there was an actual heartbeat from the Buffaloes who have been inconsistent — to put it mildly — under Deion Sanders. But that wasn’t the best beat of the night in the Buffs’ 28-9 win over the Rams.
Colorado beat its blood rival . Again.
OK, so the Rocky Mountain Showdown may not register on your list of must-see rivalries, but this is a series that has featured everything from tear gas (1999 at Mile High Stadium) to a (arguable) cheap by Colorado State’s Henry Blackburn against CU star Travis Hunter (more about him later) last season. This was different. This was progress for Sanders’ program that has shown scant little of it three games into his second season.
