Anthony Hankerson has been listed as one of three co-starters ahead of Saturday’s opener at TCU, Adam Munsterteiger of 247Sports.com reports. Hankerson, alongside Alton McCaskill (knee) and Dylan Edwards, has been listed as a co-starter in the backfield. With McCaskill’s status for Week 1 still in question, Hankerson could see a significant workload with Edwards if McCaskill is unable to suit up.

Colorado vs. TCU Betting Prediction
I’m going to drink the Kool-Aid and buy into the Deion hype, at least for the first week. He brought in some notable transfers but the rest of the roster is filled with players that were at smaller programs around the country. Still, if the Buffs play with the same amount of swagger that their head coach oozes on a daily basis, they’ll give the Horned Frogs a game today in Fort Worth. Give me the points.
