Deion Sanders and his Colorado football team made quite the impression in his coaching debut at the school.
The Buffaloes, who went 1-11 last season and last had a winning record seven years ago, knocked off No. 17 TCU 45-42 on Saturday.
Sanders overhauled the Colorado roster through the transfer portal, and that included son Shedeur Sanders, who threw for a school-record 510 yards and four touchdowns in the win.
Dylan Edwards’ 46-yard touchdown catch with 4:25 remaining was the game-winner in a contest that featured more than 1,100 yards of total offense and four lead changes in the fourth quarter.

And it came against the Horned Frogs, who played in last year’s national championship.
Here’s how the college football world reacted on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
It cannot be overstated what Deion Sanders did today.
To turn the whole Colorado program around from what it was last season to today beating a team that played in the National Championship last season…
It’s one thing to talk about it.
It’s another to actually do it.

Colorado signed Deion Sanders to a $29.5M deal — without even having the money to pay for it.
“We don’t have the money yet, but I know we'll have it."
Buffs fans donated a record $28M to the athletic department and sold out season tickets for the first time in 27 years.

Can’t overstate how blown away I am by what Coach Prime and his team just did.
Last year’s @CUBuffsFootball were so bad that we wouldn’t let our @seniorbowl scouts evaluate tape when CU was the opponent.
And TCU had plenty NFL talent on that field today. 🤯

Travis Hunter has made at least a 17 POINT DIFFERENCE in this Colorado game!
• Drew a flag in the end zone while playing WR- next play Colorado TD.
• Broke up pass in end zone- 2 plays later TCU misses FG.
• Intercepted TCU pass to end a 95 yard drive.
