CU Among Offensive Turnaround Stories
While the Buffs’ year-end win total didn’t improve enough to get them back to their first full-season bowl game since the 2016 Alamo Bowl, it did warrant national attention.
With superstar quarterback Shedeur Sanders and a host of blue chip talent likely to return in 2024, there’s good reason to believe CU could turn a corner next fall.
For now, at least Buffs’ fans can take pride in how well the team’s offense performed this season, with Sanders throwing for 3,230 yards and 27 touchdowns (to three interceptions), while renaissance man Travis Hunter is likely to return at wide receiver and cornerback after finishing the year with 721 yards and five touchdowns on offense and three interceptions.
With non-conference games against North Dakota State, Nebraska and Colorado State awaiting them and a first-year Big 12 slate that includes home games against Utah, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Cincinnati, sports fans will need the best Colorado sportsbook promos available to bet with in Year Two of the Coach Prime Era.
