Colorado Players Commit to Upcoming Bowl Game

Colorado Buffaloes' head coach Deion Sanders has announced that all of his top players, including quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter, will participate in the team's upcoming bowl game, defying the trend of NFL-bound players opting out. Coach Sanders emphasized the importance of finishing the season strong and maintaining team structure, stating, 'We’re not going to tap out.' Shedeur Sanders echoed this sentiment, highlighting the team's leadership and the impact of their presence on the game's outcome. Colorado is likely to be invited to either the Holiday Bowl or the Alamo Bowl, marking their first bowl appearance in a non-COVID season since 2016. Despite the declining appeal of bowl games due to the College Football Playoff's expansion, Sanders remains committed to playing. He also expressed a desire for the bowl location to be accessible for the supportive Colorado fanbase.
