The Deion Sanders era in Boulder has gotten off to quite the start. Colorado is 2-0 on the year, doubling its win total from 2022, and College GameDay decided to pick its in-state rivalry matchup with Colorado State in Week 3 as its next destination.
Sure, this might be a controversial GameDay location seeing as there are much bigger games taking place on Saturday, but ESPN is striking Boulder while the iron is still hot.
Colorado is probably the most exciting team in the nation. It started the season with a road win over No. 17 TCU behind Shedeur Sanders’ 510 passing yards and then the Buffaloes hosted Nebraska in Week 2 and ran away with a comfortable win. No one expected this team to start the season 2-0, but here we are. And there are two legit Heisman candidates on the roster.
As for Colorado State, Jay Norvell and the Rams are 0-1 on the season after getting blown out by Washington State in Week 1. Norvell has been in the news all week for taking what seemed like a shot at Sanders but he claims he was talking to his own players.
Either way, there should be some fireworks between the rivals on Saturday night.
Here’s how you can watch College GameDay Week 3 online:
Date: Saturday, Sept. 16
Time: 9 a.m. ET
Location: Boulder, Colo.
TV: ESPN
Live Stream: WatchESPN | Fubo
Will we see another home upset after last week’s shocker in Tuscaloosa with Texas upending the Crimson Tide of Alabama? I doubt it, but hopefully we get another fun Colorado game.
