Coming out of another emotionally charged rivalry week for Colorado football that included plenty of smack talk from Colorado State, the Buffs’ next opponent has decided to take a different approach.
CU will host its first Big 12 Conference game since 2010 on Saturday when the Baylor Bears come to Folsom for a 6 p.m. MT kickoff. The Bears are 2-1 with blowout wins over Air Force and Tarleton State and a narrow loss to Utah in a technical nonconference matchup.
Baylor head coach Dave Aranda met with the media on Monday to discuss the Buffs and their head coach, Deion Sanders. Aranda gave Sanders high marks for his work in Boulder:
“I got a lot of respect for him (Sanders),” Aranda said. “The enegry, the noterity, the juice he’s brought to that program, he’s doing a great job.”
The nice words didn’t stop with Coach Prime, as Aranada also complimented quarterback Shedeur Sanders and his weapons out wide.
“A lot of respect for what they do offesively,” Aranda said. “Quarterback makes some really hard throws. If he (Shedeur Sanders) knows what you are in, he eats you up. The skills (positions) are such that you can’t double cover so many people. You can see the talking, the communication up front where they’re able to hold off. Quarterback is stepping in and taking hits as he’s getting the ball out. That’s a whole NFL thing right there.”
