TCU’s Sonny Dykes gives early thoughts on opening game vs. Colorado

When speaking about the #cubuffs, Sonny Dykes brought up the fact that Colorado is going to be extremely difficult to evaluate

The Buffaloes will open their 2023 season against the TCU Horned Frogs, who ended last season in the College Football Playoff national title game.

Deion Sanders’ first game as Colorado’s head coach will be a tough one, but TCU head coach Sonny Dykes knows it won’t be an easy task, either (h/t Zach Barnett of Football Scoop).

“They’re going to have a bunch of good players,” Dykes said on ESPNU’s set on Wednesday. “One thing (Sanders) done a tremendous job of is attracting players — a lot of really high-quality transfers. They’re going to be hard to evaluate. You’re going to be watching like 60 different teams, trying to figure out who these guys are and what they do.”

The Buffs head to Amon G. Carter Stadium for the opener, and it will be on Fox’s “Big Noon Kickoff,” so surely a ton of eyes will be on this game.

Dykes is right: There will be a ton of different teams and players to watch ahead of this one, but he went on to speak about Shedeur Sanders in detail.

“You go back and you look at Shedeur (Sanders), his son, who’s a really good quarterback. It starts there. How are we going to defend him and what we’re going to do.”

The Buffs and Coach Prime begin the new era in a difficult way, but that’s exactly how they want it to go down.
