The Colorado Buffaloes football team entered Saturday’s matchup against UCF as heavy underdogs, listed as 13.5-point road dogs. However, that didn’t stop them from dominating the previously undefeated UCF Knights at FBC Mortgage Stadium in Orlando, delivering a resounding 48-21 victory.
The win was a statement for Colorado, and they celebrated in true Coach Deion Sanders fashion.
Leading the charge for the Buffaloes was two-way star Travis Hunter, who put on a remarkable performance. On offense, Hunter caught nine passes for 89 yards and a touchdown.
His impact wasn’t limited to just offense, though—Hunter made a big play on defense as well, snagging an interception and even striking the iconic Heisman pose, signaling his aspirations for college football’s most prestigious award.

Meanwhile, Colorado’s quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, had another stellar outing, throwing for 290 yards and three touchdowns, with only one interception. His leadership on the field continues to be a driving force behind the Buffaloes’ strong start to the season.
After the game, the celebration began, and it was exactly what you’d expect from a Deion Sanders-coached team—high energy and full of swagger.
Although they didn’t have rap star Babyface Ray or BigXthaPlug on hand for a live performance, Coach Prime had another trick up his sleeve. He brought in DJ Radio Jamez to set the vibe in the locker room, spinning tracks for the team as they reveled in their big win. The celebration was electric, with even the security guards getting in on the fun, dancing and enjoying the victory atmosphere alongside the players.
With the win, Colorado improves to 4-1 on the season under Coach Prime’s leadership. The team now heads into a much-needed bye week to rest and regroup before facing the Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday, October 12. This break in the action offers the Buffaloes a chance to reset and gear up for a strong finish to the season, with hopes of maintaining their momentum and chasing a spot in the postseason.
Colorado’s start to the season is especially significant considering the struggles they faced last year. In 2023, the Buffaloes got off to a hot 3-0 start but faltered during Big 12 play, ultimately finishing the season with a disappointing 4-8 record. With a more determined and energized roster, this year’s team hopes to avoid a similar collapse and build on their early success.
Coach Deion Sanders has clearly instilled a winning mentality in this group, and with stars like Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders leading the way, the Buffaloes look poised to make a serious impact this season.
After their commanding victory over UCF and a locker room celebration for the ages, Colorado is riding high, and the rest of the college football world is taking notice.
