… CU in a few minutes … 

CU List of Injured Grows: “Prayerfully, we shouldn’t lose anyone for a couple of weeks” 

From the Daily Camera … While CU won the game, it was a costly night on the injury front.

Star left tackle Jordan Seaton hobbled to the locker room at halftime and did not return. In the second half, right guard Zy Crisler and running backs Simeon Price and DeKalon Taylor all went down with injuries and didn’t return.

Sanders wasn’t concerned about the long-term for any of them, however.

“Jordan Seaton is alright,” he said. “Simeon and DK, they’re cool. They’re good. Prayerfully, we shouldn’t lose anyone for a couple of weeks, but they went out to take care of themselves. We’re praying that they’re gonna be OK.”

CU was also hit hard on the defense line. Starter Brandon Davis-Swain and key rotational player Tawfiq Thomas were both injured during the week and didn’t play. Gavriel Lightfoot continues to be sidelined, too.

Then the Buffs lost a fourth defensive lineman when Anquin Barnes was ejected for targeting in the second half. Barnes will have to sit out the first half of next week’s game against BYU, too.

“Thank God for the depth (on the offensive and defensive lines),” Sanders said. “It’s paying off really well, especially just think about a season ago. Losing a couple linemen, what it would have been like. I mean, it would have been hell, pure hell. … Thank God for the recruiting team that we have because they got the depth that we need.”

Defensive end Samuel Okunlola, cornerback RJ Johnson and safety Terrance Love also missed the game with injuries.

Ralphie VII shines in her debut 

Form the Daily Camera … Colorado could not have scripted a better debut for its newest live mascot, Ralphie VII.

The one-year-old bison, who is the latest in a long time of live mascots to run before CU games at Folsom Field, dazzled the sold-out crowd with a speedy run before Saturday’s game against Wyoming, sprinting past the 50-yard line before making the turn back to her trailer.

She repeated the effort just before the second half, showing energy and speed that her predecessor, Ralphie VI, rarely did.

“I heard she was energetic,” CU head coach Deion Sanders said. “She started out well and then finished strong, unlike us.”

Sanders’ Buffs started slow and didn’t finish the way he wanted, but still rolled past Wyoming 37-20 in Ralphie VII’s debut.

Although Ralphie energized the crowd, Sanders said he wasn’t sure she impacted the team. But, he gave Ralphie VII some love for her debut.

“Ralphie did a wonderful job, doing her doggone thing,” he said. “I’m thankful. I’m happy that the new Ralphie is doing her thing because the old Ralphie said. ‘I’m done with this.’”
