Led by head coach Dan Lanning, the No. 10 Oregon Ducks stole the spotlight from the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday’s game. The Ducks stripped the Buffaloes of their winning streak, rendering them 3-1. This first loss came as a blow to Sanders’ esteem and reputation as the team fell in a devastating loss of 42-6.

Competition started brewing even before the game began when the Ducks mascot strutted in with a cowboy hat and sunglasses, which is unquestionably Coach Prime’s signature style. But the clock necklace with the words “Time’s Up” shows that the Ducks are prepared to put a halt to their staggering success.

After the defeat, Coach Prime said of Oregon’s head coach, “God bless him, man. He’s a great coach. He’s done a great job. God bless him. (Let them) take their shots. They won.” But for the Buffaloes, he said, “Get your butt up and let’s go. We ain’t got time for no pity party.

Coach Prime Deion Sanders is Colorado’s powerhouse

The Buffaloes have never fallen this low, with a halftime record of 35-0. In addition to the upset, they made 12 penalties. But another sad fact is that their valuable quarterback and Deion Sanders’ son, Shedeur Sanders, threw only 159 yards and got sacked seven times.

But Coach Prime isn’t finished yet. He declared, “One thing 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.” Deion Sanders led the Colorado Buffaloes to an incredible 3-0 season start after a dismal 1-11 last season result. He quickly rose as a powerhouse of Colorado college football, and we can be sure that we haven’t seen the last of him.

After recovering from this blowout loss, the Buffs will face another tough opponent, USC, in their next matchup. Stay tuned to see if Deion Sanders will be able to pick his team from the ashes and rebuild it to its former glory.
