Coach Prime and Colorado Are For Real. But is That Enough to Beat Oregon?

When Deion Sanders was named head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, everything in Boulder, Colorado changed. Suddenly, every game for the Buffs is primetime television – home or away – night or day.

Going Green: The History of Notre Dame's Special Jerseys, from Rockne to Today

Tradition is one of the most polarizing aspects of college football. One on hand, there are teams like Oregon, who seem to roll out a new uniform combo every week.

Some of the Irish’s signature victories have come in green…but so have some of their most humiliating defeats. So are the green jerseys a blessing, a curse, or just a piece of fabric? Our good friend, Ryan McGee, helps us find that out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
