He had the most minutes watched each week, preparing for the opposing team. That's just who he's always been."He's sat there with Shedeur and that staff and that quarterback room, and he understands how he prepared, and he sat there and took notes and he's phenomenal, man. When I tell you, no murmuring, you know, no bickering, no jealousy when other guys are upstarts, right there. He's supporting them, and he's everything you want in a football player. He really is. And I'm excited that he got opportunity."Ryan Staub has been with the Buffs since 2023. He initially ended the season as the third-string quarterback. However, after his impressive performance against Delaware, it looks like Sanders is putting his faith in him this week.
