The Buffaloes kicked off fall camp 2026 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, over an hour and a half away from their home in Boulder. In doing so, the coaching staff limited the players’ access to the outside world, which created an invaluable focus on football and the program to begin the season.“We love it,” Sanders said on Thursday. “We're bonding. We're getting closer. We're getting to know each other. We're getting to know each other a lot more because we're in one unit at all times, night and day, and it's been phenomenal.” The Buffaloes traveled by bus, allowed no visitors to players, allowed no outside food and even monitored player phone usage during the first week of fall camp. Sanders and the rest of his coaching staff saw nothing but positive results from the strict regulations, with one such result being the bonding that Sanders spoke of.Brennan MarionSacramento State Hornets head coach Brennan Marion listens to one of the assistant coaches yell at players on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025, at Dana J.

He and Sanders were both pleased with the work of the offensive line in the first week of fall camp, with the former citing it as one of the most encouraging things he saw to start the campaign.“So, for our guys, the guys that we recruited up front, that's their natural habitat of being violent and over the top,” Marion said on Wednesday. “So, we just have to scale those guys back a little bit and continue to work their technique, but as far as the physicality and the violence, if you were able to see practice today, you would see a lot of bodies hitting the ground. It was very violent in the trenches.” Physicality and violence have been two words the Buffs have lived by in fall camp, with defensive coordinator Chris Marve being one of the coaches on their staff who was most promotional of them.Chris MarveFSU linebackers coach Chris Marve at the FSU National Signing Day Party on Feb. 5, 2020.
