Steve Spurrier is a vocal supporter of what Deion Sanders is doing at Colorado. The Head Ball Coach has high praise for Coach Prime after watching the Buffaloes’ big win over TCU.

Spurrier visited “The Paul Finebaum Show,” on Wednesday. Though Sanders and Spurrier are famously on opposite sides of the Florida-Florida State rivalry, the Gator legend found himself rooting for the FSU great.

“I was watching it with my wife, Jerri,” Spurrier recounted to Finebaum. “She said, ‘Are you pulling for Colorado?’ I said, ‘You’re dang right I’m pulling for them.'”

Spurrier continued to rave about Sanders and the Buffaloes, who are now ranked No. 22 in the new AP Top 25.

“I love Coach [Sonny] Dykes and TCU, and they had a heck of a year last year, but this is historical,” Spurrier said of Colorado. “… You know a lot of media, they say (of Sanders) ‘well he’s real loud’ and whatever, but he’s a ball coach, too. He’s got his guys prepared, and he’s got a good coaching staff.

“His son, Shedeur [Sanders], he is a good player. He throws a catchable ball. That’s how he throws for 510 yards, setting all kinds of records in his first game (in the FBS).”

Sanders’ team faces Nebraska in Week 2. Though ESPN’s “College GameDay” will be in Tuscaloosa for No. 3 Alabama vs. No. 11 Texas, Spurrier thinks the biggest game of the week is in Boulder.

“I know a lot of people think Alabama and Texas is big, but, to me, I think Colorado and Nebraska is the biggest game in the nation this week.”
