Nebraska’s week two opponent earned a big win on Saturday. The Colorado Buffaloes defeated TCU 45-42 on Saturday afternoon.

First-year Colorado head coach Deion Sanders said after the game that the win was a collective team effort.

“I am so proud of these young men. I’m so proud of everybody because it was a collective effort. It truly was.”

He did say that the victory was far from perfect and there is a lot of work to do before hosting Nebraska next weekend.

“We have to fix some things. We had a fumble, we had some special teams mistakes. A couple things happened in the first half that we have to fix.”

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders led the way for Colorado with 510 passing yards and four touchdowns. Corner/wide receiver Travis Hunter played 117 snaps, had 119 receiving yards, an interception, and three tackles.

Colorado will now prepare to host the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday, Sept. 9 in Boulder, Colorado. Find photos of the Buffalo’s victory over TCU below.
