As the Colorado Buffaloes gear up for the upcoming season, uncertainty swirls around key positions and schematic changes. Is Juju Lewis ready to command a complex offense, or will his development lag in Boulder’s pressure cooker? With a challenging early schedule and high expectations, the team faces tough calls on how long to let young talent grow before shifting direction. Running back hierarchy, wide receiver rotations, and Brendan Marion’s go-go offense present both opportunity and dilemma as depth battles heat up.

On the defensive side, Colorado’s new-look line raises hopes that a G5- and FCS-fueled rebuild can finally deliver the physical edge Coach Prime craves. Eligibility questions surrounding Ezra Christensen, Boo Carter’s diverse role, and which freshmen will crack the rotation add further intrigue. Can the Buffs’ revamped defensive front hold up in the Big 12, or will experience gaps be exposed?

Host Kevin Borba dives into ten pressing questions—tracking every storyline from offensive readiness to defensive breakthroughs and the broader uncertainty hovering over Deion Sanders’ program. Are national pundits sleeping on Colorado? Will the go-go offense mask remaining weaknesses, or are the Buffs still a season away from bowl glory? Locked On Buffs is all over the critical developments, asking: Can Coach Prime’s squad turn doubt into statement wins and rekindle belief in Boulder?

Deion Sanders and Colorado land near the bottom of the latest Big 12 coaching rankings, sparking disbelief and pushback from Kevin Borba. Is Coach Prime really being underestimated, or do his recent results justify the skepticism? Kevin Borba dives deep into the logic (and flaws) behind Brett McMurphy’s controversial list, comparing Sanders’ progress and adaptability against peers like Scott Frost, Jimmy Rogers, Dave Aranda, and more. Does Coach Prime deserve more credit—or does he have more to prove heading into his second Power Four campaign?

With recruiting battles intensifying, Kevin Borba details Colorado’s rollercoaster week on the trail. Despite losing a flip from Steven Alexis, the Buffs are trending for top running backs Kylan Bobo and Marquis Fennell, plus linebacker target Jameer Daniels Portis. A potential haul of versatile playmakers could supercharge the Go Go offense, and ready the Buffs for a tougher Big 12 slate.

Locked On's 10th birthday sets the stage for Kevin Borba’s list of ten things to watch this season: from Brennan Marion’s Go Go offense and the long-awaited emergence of a balanced ground attack, to physicality at safety and the high ceiling of Julian Lewis at quarterback. The Buffs face key early road tests and an ever-shifting media narrative—can Deion’s squad turn doubters into believers, or will another up-and-down year fuel more hot takes?

Will Colorado’s new-look roster and recruiting momentum translate into on-field redemption? Or are the Buffs still fighting for respect in a crowded Big 12? This episode unpacks why 2024 could be a turning point—or another chapter in Colorado’s wild ride under Coach Prime.
