“This is hard,” Deion Sanders said during the post-game conference. Colorado Buffaloes fell short and experienced a 26-19 loss against Oregon State. The Buffs’ defense kept the team in the game in the first half, but their offense didn’t find a rhythm. Did this happen because of Colorado’s coaching switch?

As per multiple reports, former NFL head coach Pat Shurmur took over the team’s offensive play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Sean Lewis. Whatever may be the reason for the loss, Deion Sanders was not happy with his team’s performance.

Deion Sanders shares his disappointment

Sanders didn’t mince words when expressing his disappointment. “This is hard. The reason it’s so hard is because you know you’re capable of doing better, playing better … and you’re coming up short.”

“I don’t sense the same passion. I do sense the same attention to detail… The passion of those games, we are missing that,” he said, which has since resonated across the sports community. His strict slamming was not just directed at the team but also at individual players, particularly his QB son Shedeur Sanders.

“It had so much to do,” said the coach while talking about the team’s offense. However, he also pointed out how multiple factors were involved behind the scenes.

Reality of Deion Sanders?s team offense

The recurring offensive line problems have posed a consistent issue for the Colorado team this season, affecting not only Shedeur but also other key players. In Week 9, Shilo Sanders was ejected during a game against UCLA, and despite his efforts, the Oregon State’s defense managed to restrict his passing yards, particularly in the first half.

Shedeur Sanders also struggled in the game against Oregon State. Despite leading a nine-play, 75-yard drive that resulted in a touchdown, his performance was crippled by the team?s offensive line issues. He was sacked many times and was forced off the field at times to patch up.

The continuing effect of this loss on the Colorado team could be serious. It has not only affected their current standing but could also sway their approach to future games. The team will need to look at the issues pointed out by Sanders to bounce back. This includes improving the offensive line to protect key players like Shilo and Shedeur Sanders and avoid similar situations in future games.
