CBS Mornings and The NFL Today host Nate Burleson is very enthusiastic about the future of Colorado football. In speaking with Nate during Super Bowl coverage in Las Vegas, he echoed those sentiments. “Shout out to Coach Prime, first of all…he came in hot, had the world on fire. You either loved him or you hated him. I just feel like players that were on that roster gave everything they got. Deion [Sanders] was looking at getting better talent and they landed some pretty big fish this offseason…They have the building blocks for success and they have exactly what they need to be a dominant team next year. But they have to finish what they started.”
Burleson was a part of the Nickelodeon SpongeBob Super Bowl broadcast. Across all channels, Super Bowl LVIII was the most watched television event of all time.
Despite finishing the 2023 season with a 4-8 record, the Buffs still enjoyed ratings success. The matchups against Oregon and Colorado State were among the top five most viewed games in all of college football last season.
With Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders returning to Boulder for their final season, all eyes will still be on Colorado football. Burleson added, “Shedeur’s a top tier talent, he’ll be successful in the NFL. Travis being able to play both ways, that’s unreal! You don’t see that. I’m all for supporting them and what they’re doing.”
