Here's what you need to know after a handful of new eras started with spring games on Saturday
New eras are all the rage in college football, and several major teams showed off new visions of their programs during the second big slate of spring games on Saturday. Replacing a Heisman Trophy quarterback was on the docket at Alabama, while new coaches took the field at spring games at Nebraska and Wisconsin.
The biggest story of the day had to be at Colorado, where Deion Sanders debuted with the Buffaloes. After hosting fewer than 2,000 fans in 2022, the Buffalos fielded a packed house of 47,277 on hand to watch Coach Prime lead his team onto the field. The game was broadcast nationally on basic cable, joining Georgia as the only teams in the country to receive the benefit.

The Buffalos offense, led by former Kent State coach Sean Lewis, took center stage. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders connected with former No. 1 overall recruit Travis Hunter to score the first touchdown of the Coach Prime era. Both names will be on full display as Colorado tries to climb its way back into national relevance.
