The 2023 Colorado Buffaloes Football Preview
A New Era Begins in Boulder
The Colorado Buffaloes football team is entering a new era in 2023 under first-year head coach Deion Sanders. Sanders, a College Football Hall of Famer, is known for his success as the head coach at Jackson State, where he led the Tigers to three consecutive SWAC championships from 2020-2022. Sanders has brought a new level of excitement and energy to Boulder, and the Buffaloes are hoping that he can turn around a program that has struggled in recent years.
Colorado went 1-11 last season, and the Buffaloes have not had a winning season since 2016. Sanders has made some significant changes to the roster, bringing in several transfers and recruits. He has also implemented a new offensive and defensive scheme, and the Buffaloes are hoping that these changes will help them compete in the Pac-12 Conference this season.
Key Players to Watch
Offense:
* Quarterback: JT Shrout (transfer from Tennessee) * Running Back: Deion Smith (transfer from Southern Cal) * Wide Receiver: Jordyn Tyson (transfer from Texas A&M) * Tight End: Kyle Patterson (transfer from UCLA) * Offensive Line: Jake Irwin (transfer from Colorado State)Defense:
* Defensive Line: Donovan Jackson (transfer from Mississippi State) * Linebacker: Josh Chandler-Semedo (transfer from West Virginia) * Cornerback: Tyrin Taylor (transfer from Texas A&M) * Safety: Isaiah Lewis (transfer from Penn State)Schedule
The Buffaloes open the 2023 season on September 1st at home against the Colorado State Rams. Colorado will also play host to the Air Force Falcons, the Arizona Wildcats, the California Golden Bears, the Washington Huskies, and the Utah Utes. The Buffaloes will travel to face the TCU Horned Frogs, the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Oregon Ducks, the Washington State Cougars, the Oregon State Beavers, and the Arizona State Sun Devils.
Predictions
The Buffaloes are predicted to finish last in the Pac-12 South Division in 2023. However, Sanders has a track record of success, and the Buffaloes have a lot of talent on their roster. If Sanders can get the Buffaloes to buy into his system, they could be a surprise team in 2023.
