And Colorado going 4-8 overall and 1-8 in Pac-12 conference play in 2023 surely added more doubt from those who didn&#8217;t believe in Sanders even if he turned in a number of impressive individual showings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">Thus far, things are different in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">Colorado is off to a 2-0 start in Big 12 play thanks to a stunning win over Baylor and a statement victory over UCF. Sanders launched a Hail Mary to LaJohntay Wester on the final play of regulation against the Bears to force overtime and then guided the Buffaloes to a win in the extra period.<\/p>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">But it was Saturday&#8217;s road win over the Knights that removed some of the doubt that the Baylor victory was a Hail Mary-inspired fluke.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<div class=\"youtubeEmbed molecule\">\n<div class=\"iframe atom\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fh3JotsS0FE?autoplay=0&amp;cc_load_policy=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;playsinline=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;height=100%25\" class=\"content\" title=\"Colorado Buffaloes vs. UCF Knights Highlights | FOX College Football\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fh3JotsS0FE?autoplay=0&amp;cc_load_policy=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;playsinline=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;height=100%25\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">Colorado went on the road as underdogs and came away with a convincing 27-point victory behind 290 passing yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions from Sanders. The timing was also notable, as the Buffaloes also started 3-1 last season before collapsing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">They don&#8217;t look like they&#8217;re going to collapse this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">With Sanders and versatile star Travis Hunter leading the way, they could challenge in a Big 12 that doesn&#8217;t offer as many daunting opponents as last year&#8217;s Pac-12. Games against Kansas State, Arizona and Utah, among others, won&#8217;t be easy, but having a quarterback like Sanders elevates the overall ceiling for the team.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; It&#8217;s easier to stay focused on the task at hand when you&#8217;re fueled by providing doubters wrong.
