YIKES: ESPN Expert SHREDS Deion Sanders and Colorado Ahead of College Football

Colorado faces national skepticism as ESPN analysts cast doubt on the Buffaloes’ Big 12 aspirations and playoff hopes. Can the Buffs defy critics under Deion Sanders and Brendan Marion, or will deep roster questions hold them back? As bowl droughts, quarterback chatter, and massive production turnover dominate the conversation, expectations for year two of Coach Prime’s tenure remain fiercely debated. Kevin Borba dives into Colorado’s projected win total, the reality behind its 55% returning production, and why a six- or seven-win season could still count as a big step forward.  The show unpacks why Julian Lewis being compared to Quinn Ewers is an ideal trajectory, mapping out how a solid, steady QB presence can anchor a program in transition. Plus, key position battles come into focus: will a rebuilt defensive line and an unproven running back corps finally deliver, or are these the red flags that could derail the season? With bowl wins eluding Colorado since 2004 and skepticism swirling over new transfers and coaching hires, this episode breaks down what it will actually take for the Buffaloes to overachieve. Can a new-look offense, improved run defense, and a more mature Lewis rewrite the narrative? Will Colorado shatter expectations—or are national pundits on the money?  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
