Deion Sanders is working to fulfill a significant commitment to a 99-year-old Colorado fan.
Sanders initially intended to take Miss Peggy to a bowl game, but now he's targeting 'THE game'.
Peggy Coppom, a 99-year-old superfan of the Colorado Buffaloes, is highly valued by head coach Deion Sanders, who is determined to express his gratitude to her in the most exceptional manner possible.
Miss Peggy, a lifelong Colorado fan, turns 100 next week.
Sanders stated that her support for the football program has meant everything when asked about it on Tuesday.

When Sanders arrived in Colorado, his hope was to bring Miss Peggy to a bowl game. However, with a 7-2 record this season, he has moved the goal post.

With its impressive performance this season, Colorado has earned a place at the table. However, aspirations for a Big 12 title have shifted to something more ambitious.
This weekend, the Cougars will face another test as they take on the Utes, who are seeking redemption after losing five straight games, including a close loss to BYU on Saturday.
To have a chance to bring Miss Peggy to the big game, Colorado must be flawless for the remainder of the season after suffering two losses.
