JaQuail Smith reveals Colorado's 2026 offensive strategy under Deion Sanders
Summary

JaQuail Smith, a transfer running back, discussed Colorado's offensive plan for the 2026 season during an interview on Thee Pregame Network. The Buffs, under head coach Deion Sanders and offensive coordinator Brennan Marion, aim to utilize a multi-back approach, featuring various running styles rather than a single featured back. Smith, previously at Sacramento State, highlighted the complexity of the new Go-Go offense that employs unique formations and fast-paced execution. With the season opener against Georgia Tech set for September 3, competition remains intense within the running back group, which includes Damian Henderson II, Richard Young, Micah Welch, and DeKalon Taylor. The team has not yet designated a primary running back.
