Colorado Buffaloes and Coach Prime still a must-see regardless of the outcome

Colorado’s Week 2 matchup against Nebraska drew an astounding 6.3 million viewers on NBC and Peacock, marking the highest viewership for a "Big Ten Saturday Night" game since the series debuted last year. Despite the game's lopsided final score, with Nebraska securing a dominant 28-10 victory, the spectacle of the Buffs under Sanders continues to pull fans in from all corners.

Sanders has undeniably turned every Colorado game into must-watch television.

Even in defeat, the storylines surrounding Colorado remain compelling. It’s not just about wins or losses but the showmanship, the tension, and the boldness that Sanders brings to the program.

Nebraska, a long-standing rival, had its fair share of fans tuned in as well, contributing to the game's impressive viewership. With a resurgent program under Matt Rhule, Husker fans showed up in droves to witness their team take control early and never look back. The Huskers' dominant first half set the stage for what ended up being a comfortable win, but it was still a game filled with intrigue, even as the score widened.

Whether it’s a hard-fought victory or a crushing loss, millions are tuning in to witness the drama unfold. Week after week, Colorado football is proving itself to be one of the premier stories of the college football season, and the audience is growing with each passing game.
