The unexpected appearance of a breakthrough squad is typically one of the best tales in sports, and this one is a blockbuster bolstered by star power.

The Buffs are energetic, dynamic, and captivating under visionary/revolutionary coach Deion Sanders.

Sanders has seen it all over his incredible athletic career, but being in the middle of a field storm was a first.
