Jimmy Horn Jr. is in his senior season and second year at Colorado. He began his college career at USF, and after two years, he transferred to the Buffaloes. Last season at Colorado, he caught 58 passes for 567 yards and six touchdowns.

Deion Sanders frustrated with Colorado's Week 1 win

The Colorado Buffaloes picked up a win over North Dakota State in Week 1, but coach Deion Sanders was not happy with his team.

Colorado was a 10.5-point favorite, but the Buffaloes had some struggles, which led to the game being much closer than Sanders wanted.

"You ever feel like you won but you didn't win?" said Deion Sanders, via ESPN. "Let's move on from that. I'm going to try my best to hold back my anger. But we got a 'W' so I'm happy."

Despite Sanders not being happy with the performance, Colorado still got the win and avoided a Week 1 upset.

The Buffaloes will next be on the road to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers. After the Week 1 win, Colorado is +2800 to win the Big 12 and +1400 to make the playoffs.
