TROUBLE: Deion Sanders and Colorado are HUGE Underdogs Against Kansas State

They also dig into the high stakes of Senior Day in Manhattan, circling key decision points for both coaching staffs, and highlight the recruiting and retention uncertainties facing both programs as another wild transfer portal season looms.In candid, rapid-fire fashion, the hosts break down matchup x-factors—Kansas State’s ball-hawking defense, Colorado’s need for a strong start, and whether turnovers could transform this clash from an assumed blowout into a trap game. The looming off-field question: Could this be Deion Sanders’ last game in Boulder, especially with an athletic director transition in play? Both agree that while gossip will swirl, it’s likely Coach Prime stays put, but the pressure for 2024 has never been higher.Predictions land with a thud for Buffs fans: both Kevin and Christian anticipate a convincing Kansas State win and an entertaining, high-scoring contest.
