The Utes coach is excited to have the former Pac-12 foes transition to the new conference
Kyle Whittingham expressed admiration for Deion Sanders and the direction of the Colorado football program. He acknowledged the significant changes in Boulder since Coach Prime took over last year and recognized the positive impact Sanders has had on the team.
"Coach Sanders has done a great job of infusing excitement and talent into that program," Whittingham remarked ahead of his 20th season leading the Utes. "His own sons are terrific players. I know we didn't get to see Shedeur, but from watching the tape, he's a terrific talent. Essentially, Sanders has put Colorado football back on the map."
Despite Sanders' efforts, Colorado couldn't snap a seven-game losing streak in the "Rumble in the Rockies" Rivalry. However, their last win in the series did occur at Folsom Field, where the two teams will meet on November 16."We have to go to Boulder this year; it's a tough place to play," Whittingham noted. "Last time we were in Boulder, there weren't many people in the stands.
