Colorado coach Deion Sanders has stayed mum on who will start at quarterback when they go up against Houston on Friday. A report, however, claimed that Ryan Staub will get the nod after his valiant effort in their win over Delaware, 31-7, on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Staub, who came off the bench in the closing seconds of the first half, went 7-of-10 for 157 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Buffaloes. He has been relegated to a third-stinger this season behind Kaidon Salter and Julian Lewis after playing backup to former Colorado star Shedeur Sanders for the past two years.<\/p>\n
While the elder Sanders refuted the report and refused to reveal his plan against the Cougars, he shared that his son called Staub to congratulate him<\/a> on his breakout performance.<\/p>\n \u201cYou gotta understand that Staub is a lovable dude. Everybody who\u2019s played here previously has reached out to him and congratulated him. They did something to let them know how proud they are. He\u2019s always been a stand-up guy, no matter who\u2019s starting. He\u2019s always been there in support. He\u2019s not gonna be one of those guys where someone else is starting and he\u2019s on the bench mad. He\u2019s not built like that,\u201d\u00a0said the Colorado coach in a report from Sporting News.<\/p>\n In a twist of fate, it’s the younger Sanders who’s now glued to the bench, as he did not see any action in the Cleveland Brown’s opening loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.<\/p>\n Staub hasn’t started a game since 2023. Still, he has remained engaged with the squad, and his outspoken coach touted his work ethic and exemplary attitude ahead of their game against Houston.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s gonna be there and support and make sure you\u2019re prepared and make sure the scout team is prepared. He\u2019s gonna give you everything he has when he gets the opportunity to practice,\u201d added Deion Sanders.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a real life story happening right before your eyes. Hats off to him because he\u2019s the ultimate teammate. Those are the type of guys we\u2019re looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n Colorado improved to 1-1 after the win over Delaware.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Colorado coach Deion Sanders has stayed mum on who will start at quarterback when they go up against Houston on Friday.
