BOULDER — Deion Sanders dunked on Cormani McClain so hard, Samari Rolle flinched. In Florida.“I know what’s going on.

McClain, presumably, feels frustrated. Coach Prime? Sanders passed “frustrated” about five exits ago.After McClain’s cameo — three snaps, two tackles — against Oregon late last Saturday afternoon, I asked Prime Tuesday if his young cornerback, with a bunch of bad, fast dudes coming to town this weekend when CU hosts No. 8 USC, had finally turned a corner himself.I mean, did you see the tire tracks Brenden Rice rolled up on the backs of Arizona State’s D la...
