Is there ever a dull moment at Colorado? Fifteen players have entered the transfer portal TODAY. Wide receiver Montana Lemonious-Craig left Sunday. He caught a 98-yard TD pass in Saturday’s scrimmage and had six catches for 169 yards. Deion Sanders is clearing out the roster.

I suspect Deion Sanders will still be bringing a lot of players in through the portal. … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: An Observation On Colorado Proves Valid
