The second year of the Deion Sanders era with the Colorado Buffaloes kicks off on Thursday at home against the North Dakota State Bison.
The Buffaloes have not seen a winning campaign since the COVID-shorted 2020 season — for full seasons, the futility stretches back to 2016. The program’s nadir came in 2022 when it finished 1-11 but the new regime is looking to turn things around.
The Bison have not posted a losing season since 2009 and have put up double-digit wins in 12 of the 14 campaigns since, earning nine FCS championships during that stretch; North Dakota State has earned a total 17 NCAA FCS national championships.

Is Coach Prime all talk or will his words play out on the field this season? Typically, an FCS opponent represents a warm-up exercise for a Power Four team, but NDSU is not your average FCS team. What’s that smell in the air? That’s the scent of a possible upset in the making.
Colorado takes on North Dakota State at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, Aug. 29.
