North Dakota State vs. Colorado welcome to sports center on YouTube Gary sty Christina Alexander here with you so Dak Prescott said he's not listening to Jerry Jones anymore but there's a bit of a caveat there oh that is so fancy meanwhile a former cowboy riding his Buffalo into their opener Thursday night and he was anything but silent about it out in Buffalo they were stampeding very loudly out of the gates take on FCS Powerhouse North Dakota State But Here Comes Dion there's to on the side line it's going to be a who's who of a-listers and Hall of Famers this season for the Buffs this being one of them Travis Hunter on the receiving end of the shador Sanders Dart 41 yards later listen not a plumber but he will make a house call LeBron also not a plumber but he's on Twitter loving it LeBron though known to drain every once in a while for sure Colorado up 7 to3 after North Dakota State touchdown ensuing CU drive it Sanders amongst traffic pocket crumbling still able to find Jimmy horn Jr 69 yd crib call second longest passing touchdown in Sanders Colorado career what about horn going for seven catches 198 Yards More on that in just a second but first third and three North Dakota State 13 Sanders with time dime Hunter Back In The End Zone got it second score of the day for Hunter played 100 snaps remember this is the two-way specialist offense defense he could do it all early fourth quarter how bending time space is back for another touchdown Hunter after the game joining sdp how do had a lot of confidence in myself I told my coach third down give me the ball we going to win this game we going to get up out of here and I did what I had to do catch the ball get a touchdown and let's go and they did win this game 3126 afterward Dion after his first win focused on two yards what shador Sanders 400 passing yards and four passing scores uh consecutive season openers in doing that remember they opened up the season exploding against TCU who's the other quarterback to do that in the last 20 Seasons you've heard of him Patrick Mahomes here's Dion after that win she do he's goingon to place that ball if that guy's right beside him he's goingon to place that ball first of all there ain't no 50-50 ball with Travis if the ball's up close it's his ball so he's that kind of athlete and shoot or Jimmy went for a buck 98 oh my God why didn't you guys tell me we could have got him two more yards my bad wow awesome that's awesome wow 26 oh wow wow that was a game huh they may stop believing me when I start talking about those two going in the top five picks right I say one and two I mean it's impressive when you can leave Dion Sanders right lost for words wow I can't believe it two more words for Jimmy horn college football analyst Trevor matage joining us now this morning on Sports Center what specifically did you see from shador last night that was impressive in your eyes he was fantastic I mean he's a Trevor Matich on Shedeur Sanders’ performance playmaking quarterback with the mindset of a defensive tackle okay Gary and the thing is what we saw was accuracy toughness leadership when he had time he dropped dimes all over the field when he didn't have time when Defenders were running unblocked in his face but they needed a play he stood there delivered the ball downfield and took the big hits and then from a leadership standpoint there were plenty of times when North Dakota state was about to take over this game and should D Sanders will his team to win Deion Sanders saying Hey listen we only rushed for 59 yards shador wiford over 400 we took what their defense gave us and what that was was Travis Hunter finding the end zone three times I mean listen I know we're overreacting after week one but we're like Heisman top five pick but so far he's played up to it yeah he has been unbelievable I mean one of the best cover Corners in the nation but also one of the best wide receivers in the nation and Gary what's really funny is when you watch watch Travis Hunter play receiver he plays with a defensive mindset he knows what messes up a defensive back trying to cover him so he'll give just a little shove at the very right moment and not quite hard enough to get a flag thrown to mess up the coverage of the guy that's trying to outsmart him trying to outplay him but a play like this Gary catch was ins there that is nothing but Superior athleticism so you you start with playing smarter and then you finish with can't cover him anyway yes last couple days in August and listen we know Dion he's the greatest showman so him saying top five pick and best quarterback best two-way player Heisman favorites but there's already some some Credence to that Proclamation right for both of them both of them now the thing is Gary if it were only this one game yes I would say okay let's let's see some more okay but because this is a continuation of last year for both shador Sanders at quarterback and Travis Hunter at corner and wide receiver I'd say absolutely start the hype train for them and let's keep an eye on what they do all right next opportunity for us to keep an eye out on what they do is when Colorado takes on Nebraska next Saturday Trevor matage breaking things down September 8th Cowboys open against the Browns right now Dak and Dallas in a bit of a gray area that's been his contract extension dilemma Prescott has vocalized his desire to stay in Dallas while at the same time Jerry Jones has vocalized his appreciation for his nine-year veteran quarterback that's going into the last year of a four-year deal but Dak well Dak ain't hearing it I mean I stopped honestly listening Dak Prescott’s contract situation to things that he says to the media a long time ago so um doesn't really hold weight with me you don't need a deal done before the season uh I don't need a no no do you what you like it done before the season uh I think it says a lot if it is or if it isn't um but however doesn't doesn't really matter to me to be honest with you what just how people feel I feel like us as the collected media are like the friend in between this couple who have just been sending subliminal messages back and forth to one another as Mike tanom is back with us on Sports Center Dak says it says a lot if a deal does or doesn't get done what does that comment say to you m T yeah Gary what Dak Prescott's doing is he's using the media and the camera to subliminally talk to other owners like Mark Davis or the Raiders or maybe John Mar or the Giants again Dak Prescott cannot be franchised that means he's an unfettered free agent and as Troy Aman said Gary every day we get closer to Dak Prescott being a former Dallas Cowboy and that's why everything he's saying now is he's talking to the broader audience in 2025 to the teams that may need a quarterback all right he's one of half a dozen quarterbacks right now that make $50 million a year he's trying to get that deal that makes him the first to make 60 million and it sounds like he's cool to make it in Dallas or elsewhere that's Mike T back with us on Sports Center thanks Mike from an upset deck to a stunning upset in the US Open Carlos alaras the four-time major Champion number three ranked going against BK vanloo first set vanloo up four games to Carlos Alcaraz upset in 2024 US Open one alcaras an
