The roughest patch might be yet to come, but Nebraska is executing its transfer plan. So is Colorado. Plus, a walk-on addition and a potential home for a former QB.
I have a vague recollection of hearing or reading that Deion Sanders secret heart (lacking the ability to footnote I'm referencing the Shogun series) was to juice up his kids' performances so that they get drafted well and then blow town.
That sentiment is definitely out there, and the looming departure of his kids is part of why I think he won't be there next year. I'll say this, benching OC Sean Lewis midseason was curious then--only Michigan (45) scored more than CU's 36 on NU last season--but it makes a little more sense to hire longtime NFL OC Pat Shurmur if you view this through the "it's all NFL prep for Shedeur" lens. CU's offense under Lewis: 32.1 ppg, under Shurmur: 20.3. Them's the facts.
Also, thanks for the reminder that I haven't watched Shogun yet. It's on my list.
