Deion Sanders faces pressure to rebuild Colorado following 3-9 season

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders is under significant scrutiny after a disappointing 3-9 record last season. Following the departures of top talents Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders to the NFL, Sanders has focused on a major roster overhaul, bringing in 42 new recruits and letting go of 34 players. ESPN analyst Dan Wetzel criticized Sanders' recruitment strategies and emphasized the need for depth within the program moving forward. Wetzel pointed to quarterback Julian Lewis as a potential key player to address quarterback depth issues, as Colorado's performance fell short in multiple areas last season. The Buffaloes are looking to improve their status as they gear up for the new season amid ongoing challenges.
