FORT COLLINS — Colorado State sophomore quarterback Clay Millen is a year older and a year wiser after taking his lumps as a freshman starter last season.The Washington native and Nevada transfer has shown glimpses this spring of how much he has improved, and he put his progression on display Saturday in CSU’s annual Green and Gold Game at Canvas Stadium to conclude spring practices.The game’s format of “1s vs. The World” started with Millen and the rest of CSU’s starters behind by 21 points. By halftime, the 1s had made up the deficit and led 27-24.They went on to win, 34-24.Millen, one of the national leaders in completion percentage last year, completed 11 of 16 passes for more than 180 yards.

BOULDER — Lord help the Buffs if Peggy Coppom ever jumps into the transfer portal.The best kick of a sold-out CU spring football game broadcast nationally by ESPN came from a right leg that’s two years short of 100. In a sweet touch that shows just how much Deion Sanders gets it — a spring football tilt that isn’t between two different schools is all about the show, not the stats — Coach Prime escorted Coppom like a prom date to a tee at the 35-yard-line.One of the greatest defensive backs that ever lived then leaned down gently with her so that the 98-year-old Buffs superfan, left hand waving a gold pom-pom, right hand clutching Sanders tight, could officially kick off the first spring game of the Prime Era.Two bounces. Four yards. Thousands of eyes getting misty. Fan service for the best dang fan imaginable.“Peggy was the MVP of the game,” Sanders said later. “She was quick, the first step was unbelievable. She was very physical. When she grabbed me and made sure I had...
