Colorado's Deion Sanders Doesn't Want 'Musical Chairs' at Quarterback, Praises Ryan Staub

Deion Sanders denies ESPN report naming Ryan Staub as starting quarterback, emphasizing he has not made a final decision despite Staub taking most practice snaps.

  • Colorado coach Deion Sanders refuted ESPN's Pete Thamel report Tuesday that sophomore Ryan Staub was named starting quarterback for Friday's game at Houston.
  • After the Delaware win, sophomore Ryan Staub outplayed other quarterbacks with three touchdown drives and was seen working with the first-team offensive line in a video posted Monday.
  • Sanders said he hasn't decided on a starter, emphasizing `A quarterback has to make at least three plays a game for us to be successful`, with Staub completing seven-of-10 passes.
  • Sanders said Tuesday he hasn't decided on a starter and declined to confirm ESPN's report about Staub as Colorado plays at Houston on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
  • Amid roster pressures, playing Ryan Staub extensively risks making the other two quarterbacks unhappy, while Sanders wants stability and says he hasn't announced a decision.
