After a heartbreaking 46-43 double-overtime loss to Stanford, the Colorado Buffaloes were met with a stern postgame speech from head coach Deion Sanders. Despite their impressive 29-0 halftime lead, the Buffaloes couldn't hold on and were outscored 43-14 in the second half and overtime.
The game had a star-studded audience, with Emmanuel Sanders, Byron Leftwich, Cedric The Entertainer, Anthony Anderson, and Luke Grimes all present. Coach Sanders' postgame address was direct and to the point, letting the team know that the critics would be coming for them and that they’d be practicing the next day.
“What we just did today was pathetic,” Sanders said. “All the love that you received and all the love that we were receiving, oh you be getting ready to see that flip. And don’t get beside yourself on social media and start responding to the foolishness, because [the critics] are right. They’re right. And we are practicing tomorrow.”
The Buffaloes had a strong offensive performance, with quarterback Shedeur Sanders completing 33-of-48 passes for 400 yards and five touchdowns. Receiver Travis Hunter, playing in his first game since being injured in week three against Colorado State, had 13 receptions for 140 yards and two TDs.
Unfortunately, the Buffaloes defense couldn’t keep up, and Stanford’s Elic Ayomanor had 12 catches for 264 yards and two TDs in the fourth quarter alone. This loss puts the Buffaloes at 4-3 on the season, including 1-3 in the Pac-13 Conference.
The upcoming weeks will be critical for the Buffaloes, who are off this weekend before playing 25th-ranked UCLA Saturday, Oct. 28. Rapper Snoop Dogg even called Deion Sanders to speak to receiver after the breakout game. It’s clear that the Buffaloes are being taken seriously and have a lot to prove.
