Takeaways from Colorado football’s offensive coaches’ press conference

What were your takeaways from CU’s offensive coaches’ press conference?

On Thursday, the Colorado Buffaloes’ offensive coaching staff met with the media to discuss a wide range of topics, from the personnel at CU to all things Deion Sanders.

Offensive coordinator Sean Lewis was first up at the podium, followed by running backs coach Gary “Flea” Harrell, offensive line coach Bill O’Boyle, wide receivers coach Brett Bartolone and finally, tight ends coach Tim Brewster. In those five names alone, the Buffaloes have scored three former head coaches in what has become quite the staff for Coach Prime.

Expectations have been through the roof with what this staff has done through recruiting, and here is everything you need to know from the press conference:

Pac-12 is deep and loaded at the QB spot heading into 2023

Caleb. Nix. Penix. Shedeur Sanders. Cam Rising if he comes back for one more year. The #Pac12 will have some gunslingers. We talked to the @VoiceOfCFB.

The quarterback position in the Pac-12 was neglected in 2021. Washington, Oregon, and USC had less-than-ideal situations at the QB spot.

One year later, that all changed in a very big way.

Bo Nix had a big year in Eugene in 2022. Michael Penix lit up the Seattle skies with his NFL-level throws. All Caleb Williams did at USC was win the Heisman Trophy.

None of those men won the Pac-12 championship. That’s what Cam Rising did. It was a strong year for Pac-12 quarterbacks, and it’s only going to get better in 2023.

Caleb, Nix, Penix, and maybe also Rising will return. Shedeur Sanders will accompany his dad, Deion Sanders, to Colorado as part of a Ralphie transfer portal stampede from Jackson State and other schools. We also need to see if D.J. Uiagalelei can become a big-time quarterback at Oregon State, and if Drew Pyne can evolve at Arizona State.

Pac-12 quarterback play is on the rise. We talked about this with Mark Rogers at The Voice of College Football:

Jackson State forces overtime on touchdown pass with no time left

Jackson State with the miracle TD pass to force overtime in the Celebration Bowl

Sixty minutes wasn’t enough to close the Deion Sanders era at Jackson State.

That’s because the coach’s son, Shedeur, threw a touchdown pass to Travis Hunter, the five-star recruit, on a fourth-and-10 as time ran out in regulation.

The scoring play was good for 19 yards and rather than try for a 2-point conversion and win the game, Deion Sanders went for the PAT, which was good and the game went to overtime at 34-34.

All that was at stake was the HBCU national championship and a perfect season for Jackson State.

There was controversy on the 15-play drive as Shedeur Sanders spiked the ball and then walked toward the Tigers’ bench despite no timeout being called.

The officials somehow whiffed on keeping the play clock going and North Carolina Central eventually called time to settle after the chaotic moment.
