Deion Sanders Doesn’t Hesitate in Naming Culprit for Colorado’s 3rd Loss After Taking Ownership

The rematch ended in the same result for Colorado Buffaloes like last year, a loss. It’s now three close-game losses for Deion Sanders, with the Buffs sitting at 2-3 after this gut-punch 24-21 defeat to BYU. What stings most is how it unraveled. CU jumped out to a 14-0 first-half lead before watching it slip away in the same frustrating fashion fans have seen too often. Another winnable game, another one that slipped through the cracks. Coach had to named culprits, plural, after cutting a frustrated figure in the post presser.

Coming from various CU sources, Coach Prime made it clear postgame where his frustrations were bubbling over. He didn’t sugarcoat anything, starting with his secondary: “We have to do a much better job in the back end.” When asked if he was happy with the defense overall, the answer was as short as it was sharp: “No… Next question.”

Coach Prime: “Sometimes it felt like the moment was just too big for some of our athletes.”

“We have to be better as a staff, as a team and I have to do better.”

He doubled down on the broader picture too, saying, “Sometimes it felt like the moment was just too big for some of our athletes.” And yes, he even turned the finger inward, admitting, “We have to be better as a staff, as a team and I have to do better.” Wrapping it up, he pointed at missed chances: “We had opportunities, we just didn’t make it happen.”
