"Somebody was going to come out of the pack": Deion Sanders hints at QB shake-up after Ryan Staub’s breakout game vs. Delaware Blue Hens

Deion Sanders' Colorado got its first win of the 2025 season against Delaware in Week 2 on Saturday. The Buffs played three quarterbacks against the Blue Hens in their 31-7 win, but it was their third-string signal-caller, Ryan Staub, who grabbed headlines.

After the game, Sanders heaped praise on Staub, who completed seven of 10 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns.

“He’s just been waiting for his opportunity,” Sanders said on Staub. “He never jumped in the portal. He had every right to think that way. He’s just been a great human being and a great young man. He’s like a leader amongst that room, all he needed was that opportunity. I thought it was time.”

Before the start of the 2025 season, Colorado confirmed Kaidon Salter as its starting quarterback, with Julian Lewis as the backup.

Coach Prime also explained his reasoning behind using three QBs against Delaware.

“I wanted it to tell its own story,” Sanders said in the Buffaloes’ postgame press conference. “Instead of me telling the story, I wanted it to tell its own story. The plan was going to be each quarterback gets two series apiece. They did. And somebody was going to come out of the pack.”

Sanders' CU suffered a 27-20 loss to Georgia Tech in Week 1 before getting the win over Delaware.
