CU Boulder Fans Excited for Upcoming Season

Buffs Aim to Bounce Back After Disappointing 2022 Campaign

After a disappointing 2022 season that saw the Colorado Buffaloes finish with a 1-11 record, fans are excited for the upcoming season under new head coach Deion Sanders.

Sanders, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and former NFL coach, has brought a renewed sense of optimism to the program. He has recruited a talented group of players and has implemented a new offensive scheme that is expected to be more explosive than in recent years.

Key Players to Watch

• Shedeur Sanders, QB: The son of Deion Sanders, Shedeur is a highly touted quarterback who is expected to be one of the best in the Pac-12.
• Travis Hunter, CB: Hunter is a five-star recruit who is considered to be one of the best cornerbacks in the country.
• Mekhi Gray, RB: Gray is a talented running back who is expected to be a key part of the Buffs' offense.

Schedule Highlights

The Buffs' schedule includes some tough matchups, but they also have some winnable games.

The Buffs open the season on the road against TCU on September 2nd. They then host Nebraska on September 9th before traveling to Air Force on September 16th.

The Buffs' Pac-12 schedule includes games against Oregon, Utah, and USC. They also have a non-conference game against Cal.

Outlook

The Buffs are expected to be much improved in 2023. They have a talented roster and a new coach who has a proven track record of success.

If the Buffs can stay healthy and avoid injuries, they should be able to compete for a bowl game in 2023.
