2. Shedeur Sanders passes for over 400 yards

How could Shedeur Sanders possibly follow up his near-perfect season-opening performance against TCU? By almost touching the numbers he had in the opener.

Sanders passed for 510 yards and four touchdowns against the reigning national runner-up and he’s going to approach that in his first home game as a Buffalo in front of a raucous crowd. The Boulder atmosphere is going to be electric and he’s going to feed off it.

From the opening kick, Sanders is going to be red-hot, hitting Travis Hunter and Dylan Edwards early and often en route to a 400-yard day.

Colorado faithful are going to be buying all the Heisman stock after this one as Sanders tosses four touchdown passes and over 400 yards. He’ll also complete over 70 percent of his passes again.

The hype train is going to be out of control after this weekend.
