Deion Sanders is making his Colorado debut<\/u><\/a> against No. 17 TCU on Saturday after eight months of hype.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sanders was hired in December in order to turn around a program that went 1-11 in 2022 and has had just one season with double-digit wins over a 21-year period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Coach Prime” has gone about the turnaround in a way that has caused a stir, using the transfer portal to add talent. The Buffaloes return just 10 scholarship players from 2022 with 68 new scholarship players<\/u><\/a> on the roster, according to The Athletic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sanders also used an NCAA rule<\/u><\/a> that stipulates that first-year head coaches may cut players from the roster, though the university must honor the players’ scholarships.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The roster overhaul has rubbed some people the wrong way, including Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi<\/u><\/a>, who said it “looks bad on college football coaches across the country” in an interview with 247 Sports in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prior to the 12:00 p.m. ET kickoff against the Horned Frogs, Sanders sat down with Troy Aikman for an interview that aired on “College Gameday.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sanders said the criticism from coaches didn\u2019t surprise him, adding that his roster overhaul wasn\u2019t “unconventional.”<\/p>\n

“No, because it happened like that at HBCU\u2019s. It happened like that in high school,” Sanders said. “It happened like that in youth football. This ain\u2019t no different. It\u2019s just a different level. Same devil. Just a different level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s really not unconventional. We just did it at an alarming rate,” Sanders said of the roster overhaul. “Our roster was horrible. I only brought like 20 kids in and had the real discussion with them that it was not going to happen anymore. The rest of them quit. They quit.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sanders never hid his intentions when he took over at Colorado, telling his players in his first meeting to “get ready to go ahead and jump in that [transfer] portal” as he was bringing players with him from Jackson State University. <\/p>\n

Now, the college football world<\/u><\/a> will see what Colorado can do on the field with Sanders running the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shedeur Sanders, Deion\u2019s son, will be under center after throwing for 70 touchdowns and just 14 interceptions in two seasons at Jackson State. Travis Hunter<\/u><\/a>, the no. 1 recruit in the 2022 class, also followed “Coach Prime” to Colorado and is expected to play both ways.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TCU, coming off a national championship game appearance, has some new faces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Horned Frogs<\/u><\/a> lost offensive coordinator Garrett Riley, Heisman finalist quarterback Max Duggan, running back Kendre Miller and wide receiver Quentin Johnston.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
