TCU hosts New Orleans for season opener

FORT WORTH, Texas – The No. 17-ranked TCU Horned Frogs are set to kick off their 2023 college football season at home, hosting the highly anticipated debut of Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes. The season opener, a marquee Week 1 matchup, is scheduled for Saturday, September 2, at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth.

Coming off a historic 2022 season that saw them make a Cinderella run to the College Football Playoff National Championship, the Horned Frogs, under head coach Sonny Dykes, are eager to build on that success. Fans are keenly anticipating how the team reloads after significant departures while welcoming back key talent and integrating new players.

The matchup against Colorado has garnered immense national attention, largely due to the arrival of NFL legend Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders as the Buffaloes’ head coach. Sanders has orchestrated a dramatic overhaul of Colorado’s roster through the transfer portal, bringing in a host of new talent, including his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, and two-way standout Travis Hunter. The game marks a fresh start for a Colorado program looking to make an immediate statement under its new leadership.

Kickoff for this inter-conference clash is slated for 11:00 AM CT and the game will be nationally televised on FOX, ensuring broad viewership for what promises to be an electric atmosphere. This contest marks the second consecutive season the two teams have met, with TCU having defeated Colorado 38-13 in Boulder to open the 2022 campaign.

Amon G. Carter Stadium is expected to be a sellout, with the excitement fueled by both TCU’s recent accomplishments and the national spotlight on Coach Prime’s debut. For the Horned Frogs, it’s an opportunity to assert their status as a Big 12 contender early in the season. For the Buffaloes, it’s an immediate, high-stakes test of their new-look program against a top-tier opponent.
