Boulder: Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders made an electrifying debut as head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, leading them to a thrilling 45-42 victory over the No. 17 TCU Horned Frogs on their home turf in both teams' season opener.

This stunning win marked Colorado's first victory over a ranked team since their triumph against Arizona State in 2019. Coach Prime's arrival has injected new life into the Buffaloes, and the results were evident on the field.

Masterfully orchestrated by Coordinator Sean Lewis, the Buffaloes' offense was a force to be reckoned with, amassing a staggering 565 total yards. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders put on a show, setting a school record with 510 passing yards and four touchdowns. Freshman running back Dylan Edwards made an unforgettable debut, finding the end zone four times, while four different Buffs achieved over 100 yards receiving, another school record, showcasing a potent Colorado offense.

On the defensive front, two-way star Travis Hunter, who shone both as a receiver and defender, made a touchdown-saving tackle and a crucial interception on the goal line. Colorado safety Trevor Woods also came up big with an interception in the end zone early in the game.

Despite Colorado's spectacular offensive display, the game ultimately came down to a pivotal defensive stop, and the Buffs' defense delivered when it mattered most. After taking a 45-42 lead with just 4:25 remaining in the game on a 46-yard touchdown pass from Sanders to Edwards on a fourth-and-2 play, CU's defense rose to the occasion, denying TCU on downs to secure the victory.

Coach Prime summed up the moment's tension, stating, "We were just preaching one stop, just one dern stop. I always had confidence because I knew as long as we had the ball, Shedeur was gonna get us down there. But we just needed to stop."

Throughout the game, the balance of power shifted multiple times. While Colorado took an early lead and extended it to 10 points in the second half, TCU refused to go quietly. The Horned Frogs, who racked up 541 offensive yards, seized their first lead late in the third quarter on a 23-yard touchdown pass from Chandler Morris to Dylan Wright.

The two teams traded the lead four more times before the Buffs secured their final score and then came up with a critical defensive stop to seal the victory.**

Coach Prime expressed his pride in his team's collective effort, saying, "I am so proud of these young men. I'm so proud of everybody because it was a collective effort. It truly was."**

The game's early moments set the tone for Colorado's dominance. After their defense forced a three-and-out on TCU's opening possession, the Buffs embarked on a 73-yard, 13-play drive that culminated in a touchdown. Shedeur Sanders orchestrated the drive brilliantly, completing seven passes, converting three third downs, and connecting with Edwards for a 4-yard touchdown pass.

CU's defense made its presence felt with a pivotal interception by Trevor Woods in the end zone, thwarting a promising TCU drive deep into Colorado territory.

Both teams traded scores in the first half, with Colorado taking a 17-14 lead into halftime. However, the fireworks ignited in the second half as the teams combined for eight touchdowns and 56 points.

The Buffaloes wasted no time in the third quarter, with Shedeur Sanders connecting with Dylan Edwards for a spectacular 75-yard touchdown pass. TCU quickly responded with a 65-yard scoring drive, keeping the game within reach.

Crucial interceptions by Travis Hunter and Trevor Woods prevented TCU from taking control. Still, the Horned Frogs managed to grab the lead again in the third quarter. Colorado didn't flinch, answering back with an 82-yard drive, capped by another Sanders-to-Edwards touchdown pass, giving them a 45-42 lead.

Ultimately, CU's defense rose to the occasion with a crucial fourth-down stop to secure the thrilling victory.

While the game wasn't decided until the final moments, pivotal plays from Colorado's defense, including Woods' end-zone interception and Hunter's interception at the goal line, played a vital role in keeping the Buffs in control.

The standout statistic of the game was Colorado's staggering 565 total yards of offense, with Shedeur Sanders leading the charge with a record-breaking 510 passing yards, completing 38 of 47 attempts (81% completion rate), and four touchdowns, arguably one of the best single-game performances by a CU signal caller.

This monumental win has firmly placed the Buffs on the college football radar. Those who doubted Coach Prime's rebuilding plan have been proven wrong, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see Colorado receive votes in next week's top 25 polls.

The Buffaloes' next challenge comes in the form of a nationally televised home opener against Nebraska next Saturday at 10 a.m. The game marks the kickoff of the 100th season at Folsom Field. It promises to be another exciting chapter in Colorado's resurgence under Coach Prime's leadership.
