Keeler: CU Buffs QB Shedeur Sanders says if Cam Ward can tear up Pac-12, so can he. “Bro, it’s the same thing.”

Son Of Prime doesn’t do worried. But he does his homework. The CU Buffs’ celebrated new QB1, Shedeur Sanders, made it a point recently to ask his old Texas pal, Washington State signal-caller Cam Ward, what to expect from the Pac-12 as a first-timer parachuting in from the FCS.“Bro,” Ward replied, “it’s the same thing.”Same chaos.Same song.“The speed’s a little faster,” Ward continued. “You’ve got a little bit better defensive ends. The skill players (are) the same thing.”Same dudes.Same party.“He was just verifying,” Sanders shrugged, “what I already knew.”We know the Buffs will probably go as far in Year 1 A.D. — as in, After Deion — as the younger Sanders can carry them.The situation with Dad — as in, Coach Prime — has no absolute precedent at a modern Power 5 program, which is why nearly every college football lifer has one eye on whatever they’re supposed to be doing and the other on Boulder. It’s a wild-card hire at a wild-card campus, the sort of college football ...

Her rookie year Seattle lost five in a row — the longest one she’s been a part of prior to the current one.“It’s something that’s different,” Loyd said Monday after practice. “But as long as you’re trying to get better, long term that’s what I look at. … No one likes to lose and it’s not something that we love to do.

The Storm have many new faces and Loyd and Coach Noelle Quinn both said that this team is well bonded off the court.“Our group is very tight with one and another,” Quinn said. “There hasn’t been fu...
