Deion Sanders says CU Buffs safety Shilo Sanders “not counted out” for UCF, expects RB Dallan Hayden, DT Chidozie Nwankwo to play vs. Knights
BOULDER — The Buffs’ revived run game could be adding another option back into the fold.
CU football coach Deion Sanders said Tuesday that tailback and Ohio State transfer Dallan Hayden “looked good” during practice earlier in the day and is expected to play on Saturday against UCF.
The sophomore from Memphis, Tenn., hadn’t played since CU’s loss at Nebraska with what ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported was a high ankle sprain. Meanwhile, the Buffs’ run game has picked up considerably with the 1-2 punch of freshman Micah Welch and sophomore Isaiah Augustave. CU rushed for 109 yards on 19 carries in a win at CSU and ran it 42 times for 91 yards and three scores vs. Baylor this past weekend.
