Colorado, Deion Sanders fans chant, ‘We want Bama’

Colorado, Deion Sanders fans chant, ‘We want Bama’

Hours before Deion Sanders led his Colorado Buffaloes to a 36-14 win over Nebraska, fans were already screaming for a shot at Alabama.

During the Fox broadcast of the “Big Noon Kickoff,” fans started the all-too-familiar chant.

Sanders has been the talk of the college football world since the season started. Colorado upset TCU a week ago, then took it to Nebraska in Coach Prime’s home debut Saturday.

The fans showed up early to get good seats as Folsom Field kicked off its 100th season in electric fashion. The crew for Fox’s “Big Noon Kickoff” was on hand, too, and welcomed Colorado royalty Kordell Stewart and Michael Westbrook to the set. Hall of Fame receivers Michael Irvin and Terrell Owens also were at the game.

Shedeur Sanders accounted for three scores, Colorado’s defense forced four turnovers and the 22nd-ranked Buffaloes beat longtime rival Nebraska at sold-out Folsom Field.

After Coach Prime’s team was the story of Week 1 with an upset of TCU, the Buffs showed it was no fluke.

Shedeur Sanders threw for 393 yards and two scores, while running for another touchdown. He capped his 6-yard romp with the dance steps his dad made famous during his playing days.

The fans ran onto the field to celebrate with a second remaining. After a momentary delay, the official announced it was over and more rushed out.
