Sanders was hired in December to take over a program that has been largely irrelevant for the past 20 years, winning double-digit games in a season just once since 2002. Last season, the Buffalos finished with a dismal record of 1-11.

However, Sander’s arrival has created quite a stir around the show. Earlier this month, the university announced that it had sold out season tickets for the college football season 2023ending a 27-year unsold streak.

Attendance for Saturday’s spring game was 47,277 fans, more than the last nine versions of the spring game combined.
