Colorado coach addresses concerns over team's size ahead of season opener
Summary

Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, commented on the perception that his team appears undersized following viral videos from practice. Observations highlighted players listed at 5-foot-9 or under, contrasting with larger programs like Ohio State and Texas Tech. Despite the narrative, Sanders and new offensive coordinator Brennan Marion remain focused on preparation for the upcoming season. Colorado kicks off against Georgia Tech on September 3, where they look to improve from a disappointing 3-9 record from last season.
