Colorado's 3-6 season has cooled the TV surge of 2023, with Fox confirming a record-low 374,000 viewers for the Nov. 1 loss to Arizona.

Overview

  • Colorado sits at 3-6 and must win out to keep bowl eligibility in play.
  • The Nov. 1 defeat to Arizona averaged 374,000 viewers on FS1, a Sanders-era low that coincided with World Series Game 7 on Fox.
  • Average TV audience this season is roughly 2 million, down from about 4 million in 2024 and 6 million in 2023.
  • Deion Sanders restricted media access to players and assistants and said he prefers to absorb criticism himself.
  • After cycling Kaidon Salter and Ryan Staub, Sanders named true freshman Julian Lewis the starter for Saturday’s game at West Virginia as Brett Bartolone assumes play-calling.
