It will be interesting to see how Sanders' Colorado football program fares in year two of his tenure. Year one got off to a hot start, but the Buffaloes tailed off as conference play started. In year two, Sanders hopes the Buffaloes can be more consistent.

In year two, Sanders hopes to have more talent that can help the team reach expectations that he had when he was hired. Hopefully Russell is a player who fits that billing for Colorado.

Sanders' program gets a lot of attention, and they hope that continues with them getting wins next season. Shedeur Sanders is returning, so it will be worth watching to see if Russell can become a reliable weapon for him in Colorado's offense in a pivotal season.
