Colorado Buffaloes Third-String QB Staub Leads Decisive Win, Celebrates with Sanders Tribute

The Colorado Buffaloes, coached by Deion Sanders, secured a comeback win against Delaware behind third-string quarterback Ryan Staub, who threw for two touchdowns after being inserted at halftime due to the struggles of starters Kaidon Salter and Julian Lewis. Staub notably celebrated a long touchdown pass with the iconic watch celebration popularized by Shedeur Sanders, Deion Sanders' son and the Cleveland Browns quarterback, who reacted positively to the tribute on social media. Staub's performance helped Colorado extend a 24-7 lead in the third quarter, marking a bounce-back after their season-opening loss to Georgia Tech. Deion Sanders appears to be experimenting with a multiple-quarterback strategy as he evaluates who will replace his son as the team's starter. The Buffaloes will continue their season with an upcoming road game against Houston. This celebration and the quarterback change have created a narrative of legacy and transition within the Colorado program.
