A good portion of the College Football season has already been played, and at this stage, every win is crucial — just as every loss is a tough setback. The Colorado Buffaloes continue their inconsistent journey, alternating results, and this time Deion Sanders’ squad fell at home to the BYU Cougars.
Heading into the game, it was expected to be a tightly contested matchup between both programs, and the Buffaloes’ halftime lead seemed to signal a promising outcome. However, Colorado was unable to hold on to their advantage due to key mistakes, and it was the visiting team who ultimately came away with a 24–21 victory.
True to his style and never one to hold back, Coach Prime expressed his frustration over letting the lead slip away, knowing it was a hard-fought game that ultimately came down to the smallest details.
“Tough fought game,” he said. “I can’t say I’m highly upset, I’m upset with a few things, but sometimes when it seems like you have more talent, but you didn’t quite win the game, it makes it feel somewhat awkward.”
Head coach Deion Sanders of the Colorado Buffaloes.
“At halftime, we challenged certain positions to go out there and up their game, challenge their opponents. We didn’t get that. We got the same thing that we had in the first half.”

Focusing on the mental side of the game
There’s no denying the talent on the Buffaloes’ roster. However, many believe the team plays with a heavy emotional load, which may be affecting their ability to close out games at the right moment — allowing opponents the chance to come back.
“We can try but they have to step up,” the HC said. “I am not going to make excuses for them. I don’t know what else I can say about it.”
What’s next for the Buffaloes?
The road ahead looks more challenging than it may seem, and the Buffaloes will need to prepare in the best possible way to secure as many wins as they can in the games to come.
