Deion Sanders<\/a><\/strong>\u2018 first spring game as the Colorado Buffaloes<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 head football coach was a history-setting spectacle. Despite the team\u2019s 1-11 record from last year, fans were eager to see what the team looked like underneath his direction. And while there were plenty of oohs and aahs from a number of big plays in the game, at times, the Buffaloes\u2019 headman appeared visibly frustrated. And in the postgame press conference, he explained why he was so animated at times.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I get animated when somebody\u2019s not hustling,\u201d said Sanders.<\/a> \u201cI only get upset when somebody\u2019s not giving it their all. I mean, if it\u2019s an effort play, it\u2019s an effort play. It\u2019s hard to get mad at somebody giving the ultimate effort. But when somebody is lollygagging or when somebody doesn\u2019t make it on the field, then there\u2019s a penalty and just doing stupid stuff; it\u2019s stupid stuff. Overall, it was good. It was good. The players that I expected to perform, they performed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colorado fans would set a new spring game attendance record with 47,227 in attendance. That equates to roughly 88 percent of Folsom Field\u2019s maximum capacity of 53,613. That 47,222 more than doubled the previous attendance record for a spring game at Colorado, 17,800, that was set 15 years ago in 2008. And when comparing this year\u2019s attendance numbers to last year\u2019s, there is a stark difference between the two. For 2022\u2019s spring game, just 1950 fans, mostly students, attended the Buffalo spring showcase. While Sanders was frustrated at his players at times, many viewed the showcase as a huge success.<\/p>\n

Klatt tabs Deion Sanders a \u2018major success\u2019 after Colorado\u2019s spring game<\/h2>\n

Colorado<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s spring game offered just a taste of what Sanders will bring to Boulder, CO, this season. A packed crowd, a raucous environment and most importantly \u2014 a winning football mindset.<\/p>\n

There was snow on the ground, but that didn\u2019t stop ESPN from sending Chris Fowler, a Colorado alum, as well as Robert Griffin III<\/a><\/strong> and Quint Kessenich in front of 47,277 fans in freezing temperatures to cover the game. Fox Sports analyst\u00a0Joel Klatt\u00a0was so blown away<\/strong><\/a> that he kept trying to get his wife and children to understand the magnitude of what they were watching. He\u2019s also a bit jealous that he wasn\u2019t there covering the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was electric. Even I tweeted out when you look at what this has been so far, it has been a major success,\u201d\u00a0Klatt said<\/a>\u00a0on Monday. \u201cThe spring game was incredible to watch, wish I could have been there \u2026 I\u2019m so excited for what Coach Prime is doing there in Boulder. And by the way, from what I saw on the field, I think they\u2019re going to win 6+ games this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
