Colorado's coach Deion Sanders used an unusual strategy against Delaware, rotating three quarterbacks to see who performed best. Third-string quarterback Ryan Staub stood out, completing 7 of 10 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns. He turned a close 10-7 game into a comfortable win with touchdown drives of 75 and 71 yards.

Sanders rewarded Staub with a game ball and praised his patience. The quarterback situation had been uncertain after losing to Georgia Tech. Staub, who had limited playing time last season, never considered transferring and remained committed to the program.

His performance may have changed Colorado's quarterback plans for future games.
