In what appeared to be an uphill task for many, including Coach Prime Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes, the last game against the Stanford Cardinal has brought Buffaloes back to the reality. This was especially true considering the poor performance of Stanford Cardinal, who was 1-4 before they met Colorado.

However, the tables were turned when Cardinal handed over a defeat by 43-46 to Buffaloes who looked to be in control of the situation. This defeat has surely acted as a cruel blow for Deion Sanders’ new hope to re-establish an undefeated streak. Additionally, the coach has put a strong full stop to any pity party from the team as he pondered on the terrible recent loss.
