Stetson Bennett went on a tear and ended up winning two National Championships in two seasons, finished with a combined career win-loss record of 29-3, threw for 56 touchdowns against 14 interceptions in the two championship seasons, and found himself in New York City as a Heisman finalist. He also was only sacked 23 times in 2021 and 2022 combined. Not too shabby.
His number 13 was worn on the Red Team this past Saturday by AJ Kruah and on the Black Team by Tyler Williams. Not a retired number, in other words.
Meanwhile, in Boulder:
Sanders finished his Colorado career 13-12 as a starter, lost in the lone Bowl game they played against BYU, and was sacked – checks notes – 94 times. He threw for 64 touchdowns against 13 interceptions, but compiled a net rushing total of negative 127 yards with 8 touchdown carries. Travis Hunter is, no doubt, a unicorn talent, but so was Champ Bailey.
Champ’s number 4 jersey is currently worn by KJ Bolden and Oscar Delp.
Standards, amirite?
