Deion Sanders and the Colorado football team kicked off their 2024 season in style, securing a gritty 31-26 victory over FCS powerhouse North Dakota State. The win was a statement, not just on the scoreboard but also in the way the Buffaloes are redefining college football under Coach Prime’s leadership.
Travis Hunter wasted no time launching his Heisman campaign, delivering an electrifying performance with 7 catches for 132 yards and three touchdowns. Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders, the team’s standout quarterback, showcased his arm strength and accuracy, throwing for an impressive 445 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. The Buffaloes’ offense was firing on all cylinders, and their victory was a testament to their hard work and preparation.
After the game, the celebration continued in true Coach Prime fashion. The locker room turned into a concert venue as the team welcomed rap star BigXthaPlug for a private performance, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The event was even more special with the presence of hip-hop personalities Gillie da Kid and Wallo, who joined in the post-game festivities.

This kind of post-game celebration is emblematic of the unique culture Sanders is building at Colorado. By blending football with entertainment, Sanders is setting his program apart from the rest of the nation. It’s not just about winning games; it’s about creating an experience that players and fans alike will remember.
However, as much as these celebrations add to the allure of Colorado football, the pressure is on to keep winning. Coach Prime knows that the excitement can fade quickly if the victories don’t keep coming.
Next up for the Buffaloes is a road trip to Lincoln to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday, September 7. The stakes are high, and all eyes will be on Sanders and his team to see what they have in store next. With Coach Prime at the helm, there’s no doubt that whatever happens, it will be anything but ordinary.
