Keeler: Deion Sanders doesn’t care about CU Buffs’ offensive line? Ha! Not according to this TCU blocker, who almost became a Buff.

BOULDER — Psst! Look, bub, don’t tell anybody, but Deion Sanders, the only football coach in CU history to host “Saturday Night Live,” the only Buffs boss put out his own rap album, beneath all the shades and the swag, deep down, is just a big ol’ offensive line nerd.“Don’t think for one minute just because he played corner and receiver in the NFL, that’s all he wants to know,” TCU lineman and former Jackson State tackle Willis Patrick assured me this week. “His main attention is on the offensive line and defensive line, because he knows the game is won up front. He knows how detrimental not having a good offensive line can be to the team.”Patrick portaled into Froggie Land this past winter from Jackson. Heck, he almost became a Buff himself, but more on that last bit in a second. See, in 2021, Coach Prime’s Tigers gave up 36 sacks over 13 games, the most in the SWAC. Sanders’ response? Prime overhauled his pocket, importing road-graders such as the 6-foot-4, 355-pound P...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:55:11 GMT

SAN DIEGO — One day, the Giants believe, Kyle Harrison will receive Cy Young votes, if not become the first pitcher since Tim Lincecum to bring the hardware home to Oracle Park. He did nothing to dispel that notion in an electrifying home debut.And for his next act, the Giants’ top pitching prospect will put his Cy Young chops to the test against the front-runner for the award this year. Following up his 6⅓ shutout innings and 11 strikeouts against the Reds, Harrison will square off against Padres lefty Blake Snell on Saturday, the club announced.Snell leads all NL starters in bWAR and ERA and ranks second in strikeouts per nine innings.Harrison threw a season-high 91 pitches Monday and often operated on five or more days rest in the minor leagues. But manager Gabe Kapler indicated they are ready to ride his left arm down the stretch, partial payoff for closely monitoring his workload in the minors earlier this season.“What I would say is when you’re in your early to mid...
