Travis Hunter and Xaiver Weaver dealing with flu; Shedeur Sanders questionable vs. Utah
Deion Sanders admitted that the Colorado Buffaloes are dealing with a few issues going into the season finale matchup with Utah. We knew Shedeur Sanders was banged up last week against Washington State and his status might come down to a game day decision.
Coach Prime added to that by saying Xaiver Weaver and Travis Hunter were two players dealing with flu symptoms. He spelled out all the details on his weekly coaches show. There’s really nothing on the line for the Buffs on Saturday with postseason play off the table. However, a win would boost the program going into an important off-season with early Signing Day around the corner.
Sanders is a touchdown away from setting CU’s single-season record. He’ll be itching to be out on the field, if he’s good enough to go in the finale. As for Hunter and Weaver, they’ll have to be down pretty hard not to be out there. They’re both cut from a different cloth when it come to competing.
Hunter was recovering from a lacerated liver and was begging Coach Prime to return early. Weaver has one last time to lay it all out there for NFL scouts. You know that means a lot for him. The USF transfer needs 92 yards for his first 1,000-yard season. He’s also two touchdowns away from matching his career-best.
Colorado heads to Salt Lake City for a battle with Utah. A 3 p.m. kickoff with coverage on the Pac-12 Network.

Deion Sanders confirms Warren Sapp will be on his CU staff next year
Warren Sapp has wanted to break into coaching and another Hall-of-Famer will help his journey. Deion Sanders confirmed the former NFL great will be on his staff next year. He broke the news during his coaches show on Wednesday.
“I’m excited about coach Sapp,” Sanders said. “He’s a dear friend that I love to life. He’s going to be invaluable with what he bring to the table.”
Sapp has been around Boulder since Sanders took over nearly a year ago. He has openly talked about joining Sanders’ staff several times and told the Rich Eisen Show about it back in September.
“I’m going to go get my degree and I’m going to ask Prime for a spot on his staff,” Sapp said. “I got my transcript. I’m starting the process.”
The defensive beast made his name with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before joining the Raiders to end his career in 2007. Sapp and Sanders worked together and were part of the NFL Network’s coverage lineup. The two were built up as some of the most decorated players for their respective positions in NFL history. Coach Prime spoke out about the need for an “upper room” in Canton, and I’m sure Sapp would be joining him.
