How did Kyron Drones perform versus Vanderbilt?

Kyron Drones came into the redshirt junior season with loads of expectations. The former Baylor standout started 11 games during the 2023 season, and he must showcase elite form in what's likely his last year at the collegiate level.

Drones excelled in his team's opening game of the 2024 season. He recorded 322 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Drones thrived during the game, but his teammates couldn't bring the same energy on defense.

Virginia Tech will face off against the Marshall Thundering Herd in their next game and will be looking to enter the winning column, as it's thoroughly unadvisable to start the season with back-to-back-to-back losses.

How did Shedeur Sanders perform versus North Dakota State?

Shedeur Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes entered the 2024 college football season knowing that there was a target on their backs. The Buffaloes have a better following than some professional sports teams, so it shouldn't be a surprise the lofty expectations from the team compared to others.

Sanders had an opening week performance for the books versus the North Dakota State Bison. Sanders put up a stat line of 445 passing yards, four TDs, and one pick and reminded the rest of college football why it's important to pay attention to him.

Let's see whether Shedeur Sanders can maintain the hunger and show the rest of the league that the Buffaloes are here to stay. The Buffaloes' next game is versus the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Sanders and Co. will get the chance to go 2-0 and potentially pad their stats versus a winnable opposition.
