Colorado Spring Game 2023 Preview
The Colorado Buffaloes are gearing up for the 2023 football season with Black & Gold day, which is airing their spring football game on ESPN. It will be former NFL standout cornerback Deion “Prime Time” Sanders’ first game as the new head coach for the Buffaloes after he took Jackson State to two conference titles in two years, going undefeated in conference play.
According to the Buffaloes website, the university has already sold 35,000 tickets to the spring football game, making it “the highest attended spring game in CU history.” It is also the only spring football game to air on the main ESPN network.
The website also says of the weekend activities:
Also part of Black & Gold Day will be a Field Day presented by Children’s Hospital of Colorado where there will be inflatables and other games for kids along with field day activities with student-athletes from other sports and an autograph session with current and former Buffs that played in the NFL. That will take place on Franklin Field from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
The CU volleyball and soccer programs will also have spring games on April 22, both at 11 a.m. with the soccer game taking place at Kittredge Field and the volleyball match at the CU Events Center.
In a press conference ahead of the spring game, Colorado quarterback Ryan Staub said that playing for “Coach Prime” has been like hitting the jackpot.
“How could you not want to be here? It’s beautiful, it’s an amazing school and things just even worked out even better. Obviously, I committed early, I was the second commit in our class, and I hit the jackpot here,” said Staub, adding, “I think I hit the jackpot with [offensive coordinator] Coach Lewis, Coach Prime, the whole staff. I think there’s a whole new energy here and I’m just happy to be under such a great team and especially a great offensive coordinator … my knowledge of the game has massively increased. Going from high school, where stuff’s pretty basic, to college football under Coach Lewis, my knowledge of the game has gone through the roof and I’m still learning. A lot of room to learn and grow.”
He added that he’s “super excited” about the spring game, adding, “Full house, packed out. I’m super excited. It’s a big jump from high school. I think I’m ready and I’m excited,” said Staub.
The University of Colorado spring football game airs Saturday, April 22 at 3 p.m. Eastern time on ESPN.
