Ever since he arrived at Colorado at the end of last college football season, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders told everyone who would listen: "We comin'."

Now, they're here.

Colorado shocked the football world and had social media aflame as Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and Dylan Edwards led the Buffaloes to a 45-42 upset win over defending national runner-up TCU. Quarterback Shedeur had a school-record 510 yards and four touchdowns, while his brother, safety Shilo, was the team's leading tackler in their father's victorious Power 5 head coaching debut.

Here are the best reactions from around social media to one of the most momentous debuts in college football history.
