The Colorado football team started the season with a bang, going 3-0 and achieving new heights. Unfortunately, their momentum came to a screeching halt on Saturday when they were soundly defeated by the No. 10 ranked Oregon Ducks, 42-6. Despite the loss, head coach Deion Sanders warned opponents that the Buffaloes will only get stronger.
Saturday's game was marked by Colorado's inexperience and the absence of two-way star Travis Hunter. The Ducks had a 13-0 lead after the first quarter and a 35-0 lead at halftime. The Buffaloes finally scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter, but the Ducks blocked the extra point to hold them to six.
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders had 22 completions for 159 yards and one touchdown, while Xavier Weaver caught nine passes for 75 yards. However, the Buffaloes struggled to move the ball and keep Oregon from scoring.
In his postgame press conference, Prime Time admitted that his team was outplayed. He said, "It was a good old fashioned butt-kicking, no excuses, no nothing. Their coach staff did a heck of a job preparing their team; obviously, we didn't. That was good, that was a really good old-fashioned butt-kicking."
Despite the loss, Sanders reminded future opponents that now is the time to get Colorado while they are weakest. He said, "One thing that I can say honestly and candidly, you better get me right now, this is the worst we're going to be, you better get me right now, cause I like what I see. I know I have on shades but I can see the future and it looks really good."
The Buffaloes, who fell out of the AP Top 25, will face the No. 8 USC Trojans on Saturday, Sept. 30. It will certainly be a test for the Buffaloes, but Sanders is confident that his team can rise to the challenge.
