Coach Prime's CU Buffs were distracted by the spotlight and it cost them in a disappointing defeat to Kansas.

The game had been hyped up for weeks, with both teams vying for a chance to compete in the Big 12 title game. The stakes were high, and the Buffs knew that their destiny was in their own hands. But on Saturday, they were faced with a Kansas team that seemed determined to snatch away their dreams.

The first half was rough for the Buffs, with Kansas dominating both offensively and defensively. As the clock ticked down to halftime, a KU player couldn't contain his excitement and let out an expletive about CU. It was hard not to join in, especially for one fan named Peggy. It was clear that the Buffs were not playing up to their potential.

This game was supposed to be a statement for the Buffs, a chance to prove themselves on a big stage. But now, they would have to wait and see if they could still make it to the championship game. It all hinged on their next game against Oklahoma State, and even then, things were looking messy with tiebreakers and multiple teams in the mix.

The original plan had been simple: win two games and secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. But now, the game against Kansas had thrown a wrench in those plans. The Buffs didn't even look like they had a game plan, let alone a blueprint for success.

This was a crucial game for the Buffs, their biggest in eight years. And yet, they seemed to crumble under the pressure. Instead of talking about their talented recruits and future prospects, the conversation turned to their lackluster performance on the field. It was a disappointing and frustrating day for the Buffs, who had been on a four-game winning streak and had gained attention for their strong play.

Coach Deion Sanders didn't hold back in his post-game comments, calling out his team for not matching Kansas' energy, intensity, and physicality. The numbers spoke for themselves, with KU racking up over 500 yards of offense and 29 first downs. It was a far cry from the Buffs' usual strong defensive performance.

Despite the tough loss, the Buffs' quarterback Shedeur Sanders and wide receiver Travis Hunter still had standout performances. But even their efforts couldn't make up for the team's overall lackluster play.

Looking back, it was clear that the Buffs had let their success go to their heads. Coach Prime admitted that they had become "intoxicated" with the attention and media coverage, and had failed to play their brand of football. It was a hard lesson to learn, but one that the Buffs would have to take to heart if they wanted to continue their success in the future.

As for the Jayhawks, they had played with a different energy and determination. Their running back Devin Neal had a standout game, and even KU's punter, who hadn't seen much action all season, made an appearance on the sidelines. It was a humbling experience for the Buffs, who had to face the fact that their inflated egos had led to their downfall.

In the end, the game ended in a 37-21 loss for the Buffs. It was a disappointing and frustrating day, but it was also a learning experience. The Buffs would have to regroup and refocus if they wanted to have a shot at the championship and the College Football Playoff. As for the Jayhawks, they had shown that they were a force to be reckoned with and had taught the Buffs a valuable lesson about humility and hard work.
