Follow Us
The Colorado Buffaloes entered the season with three straight wins, leading the program to become one of the most-watched teams in college football. But they’re leaving the season on a disappointing note with an overall record of 4-8. But while some applaud Coach Prime Deion Sanders for turning the Buffs this season, a former NFL head coach mocked him with his mirthful remark.
Ever since the first defeat at the hand of the Oregon Ducks, Colorado failed to make up for the remainder of the season after one more victory over the Arizona State Sun Devils. The eight losses shattered the sweet period of Coach Prime’s honeymoon phase. But despite the dismal record, is Deion Sanders still worth the hype he received this season?

Colorado may not have passed the regular season with flying colors, but it is definitely an upgrade from the 1-11 record last season. The last 23-17 defeat in the hands of the Utah Utes has rendered them 4-8 after a promising 3-0 start. The last game was played without star QB Shedeur Sanders who was unavailable because of an injury. Freshman Ryan Staub filled his place and finished with 195 yards and a touchdown.
After the end of the regular season, Coach Prime Deion Sanders is still confident and hopeful. He said, “I could not grow if I didn’t go through what we went through. I’m truly thankful. This isn’t the first challenge in my life but I know it’s gonna finish.” Staub also said in his postgame speech, “With the foundation that Coach Prime has built here, we are on an upward trajectory. We’re going to be great.“
