Deion Sanders enters his third season steering the Colorado Buffaloes, having turned a 1-11 program in 2022 into a 9-4 squad ranked in the AP Top 25 in 2024-their best showing since 2016. With quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman winner Travis Hunter now in the NFL, the team faces a critical transition. The quarterback race pits Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter, who amassed nearly 8,000 yards and 77 touchdowns in three years as a starter, against five-star freshman Julian “JuJu” Lewis, who threw for over 11,000 yards and 144 touchdowns in high school.
Sanders’ Deep Dive on Quarterback Competition
On Friday, during Fall Sports Media Day, Deion Sanders provided a detailed update on the intense battle to replace Shedeur Sanders as the Buffaloes’ starting quarterback, emphasizing that Kaidon Salter, Julian Lewis, and Ryan Staub are all in contention.
With two weeks of fall camp in the books, Sanders made it clear he’s in no rush to name a starter for the August 29 opener against Georgia Tech. “I’m looking for these guys to shine in practice, and the best will rise to the top,” Sanders said. “There’s no pressure to decide now. Both Salter and Lewis can play at a high level, and we’re focused on putting the team in the best position to win.”
Salter, a proven veteran, brings a wealth of experience, having thrown for 5,986 yards and 44 touchdowns while rushing for 1,986 yards and 33 scores at Liberty. His dual-threat ability fits Sanders’ vision for a dynamic offense under Leftwich’s play-calling. Lewis, meanwhile, is a rare talent-a two-time Gatorade National Player of the Year finalist who skipped his senior year of high school to join Colorado early. At Carrollton High in Georgia, he posted a staggering 11,563 passing yards, 144 touchdowns, and just 19 interceptions, showcasing pinpoint accuracy and poise.
Staub, though likely third in the depth chart, earns high praise from Sanders for his veteran presence. “Don’t sleep on Ryan Staub,” Sanders noted. “He’s been in our system for two years, bringing consistency and leadership to the room that helps guide these younger guys.” Staub, who saw limited action last season (3-of-7 for 29 yards), offers stability as a backup who knows the playbook inside out.
New Talent and Playoffs Hopes for Colorado
The biggest question mark remains at the quarterback position. The team faces a tougher road to replicating last year’s success. To counter these challenges, Sanders has assembled a dream team of coaches. NFL legend Warren Sapp is training the defensive linemen, Marshall Faulk is coaching the running backs, and Byron Leftwich, Tom Brady’s last offensive coordinator, is designing the offensive plays.
Colorado’s schedule provides early chances to gain momentum, with four of their first five games at home. They will face Georgia Tech on August 29 and Delaware on September 6. A strong start could propel the Buffaloes toward a bowl game and potentially a national ranking by October.

F1 Singapore GP live updates: FP3 latest as Lawson crashes again, qualifying to come at Marina Bay
Between the two red flags — for session-ending crashes from George Russell and Liam Lawson — and the very strange unsafe release incident with Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris (more on that in a moment), second practice in Singapore wasn’t quite as useful to teams as they may have hoped.The lack of time to get in some proper long runs left the teams a step behind their typical preparations, with the added challenge being that today’s final remaining practice takes place in different conditions to both qualifying and tomorrow’s race — basically before the sun has gone down in Singapore. Nevertheless, McLaren will have enjoyed Oscar Piastri topping the session, one-tenth of a second clear of Isack Hadjar who finished a surprise P2 for Racing Bulls. Max Verstappen got third for Red Bull ahead of Fernando Alonso in fourth, continuing […]
Five keys to Bo Nix and the Broncos authoring an upset in marquee matchup vs. Eagles
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos will visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in search of what would arguably be the biggest win of the Sean Payton era in Denver.Just don’t call it a measuring-stick game.“We know we’re a good team and can go into an opponent’s house and win a football game,” said Nik Bonitto, the Broncos pass rusher who may be playing better through four games than any defensive player in football. “I don’t think it’s a measuring stick. We know who we are.”AdvertisementThat may be true, but the world outside the Broncos’ locker room will have a much better idea of what this team is capable of this season following Sunday’s marquee matchup, which precedes a weeklong trip to London for the Broncos ahead of a Week 6 game against the Jets.

Blake Lively surprises Taylor Swift with a gesture of support amid the breakdown of their friendship
Blake Lively appeared to extend an unexpected gesture of goodwill toward Taylor Swift after the launch of her new album, as speculation continues over the breakdown of their once-close friendship. The actress quietly "liked" Swift's Instagram post celebrating the release of The Life of a Showgirl, signaling a possible thaw in their relationship after a tense period full of legal drama.The interaction drew significant attention because it arrived amid rumors that one of Swift's new tracks, "Ruin the Friendship," reflects tension between the two. Online speculation spread rapidly after fans noted parallels between the title and reports of a cooling relationship. However, industry insiders have indicated the song's lyrics, centered on a teenage romance, are unrelated to Lively or their reported fallout as there is no obvious sign of change on the end of the Grammy-winning arist.Swift, 35, marked the […]

Do kabiny přichází první, odchází poslední. Liberec pečuje o fotbalový klenot
Na začátku června Liberec vyhrál bitvu o mladého rakouského reprezentanta do 21 let, jehož získal z Lafnitzu po sestupu ze druhé ligy. „Nebylo snadné ho získat v konkurenci větších a bohatších klubů, ale podařilo se nám hráče přesvědčit díky našemu rychlému jednání a dlouhodobému plánu,“ nepřímo tehdy potvrdil generální ředitel Liberce Jan Nezmar spekulace o velkém zájmu o talentovaného záložníka ze strany Plzně či Sturmu Graz. „Pro Slovan jsem se rozhodl, protože si myslím, že to pro mě teď bude ten nejlepší krok,“ poznamenal Rakušan s bosenskými kořeny, jenž U Nisy podepsal smlouvu do roku 2029.
