The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Colorado Buffaloes</a>’ momentum came to a screeching halt as their three-game win streak snapped in heartbreaking fashion during the team’s 31-28 loss to Kansas State Wildcats at Folsom Field. Making his return from a broken forearm, defensive back Shilo Sanders struggled in his first game back since September 7th, drawing sharp criticism from his father and head coach, Deion Sanders.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion</a> did not sugarcoat his thoughts on his son and team safety’s play against the Wildcats. Against a powerful ground attack, Shilo struggled with his tackling form and was on the bad end of many explosive plays for the visiting team. “I thought he played horrible,” Sanders said. “I thought he was rusty. He was coming up trying to make the play but open field, one-on-one tackle, with that kind of back, that ain’t an easy task.”



Shilo was asked on the subject during his media availability on Tuesday. Ahead of Colorado’s matchup with the Arizona Wildcats, the Buffaloes safety broke silence and expressed he is eager to flip the script and return to his best form in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a>‘s week 8 matchup. 



“We got on the phone right after the game, actually. I know I played horrible. You know I played horrible,” Shilo Sanders said, per On3. “It wasn’t like anything bad. It’s just, you play horrible. That’s what happened.”

<h2>Shilo makes honest admission on his game vs Kansas St</h2>



While Deion’s postgame remarks may have come across as harsh, the game tape tells the full story—Shilo’s performance against Kansas State was undeniably poor. Missed tackles in open space and questionable positioning in zone coverages made for a forgettable outing. It’s a game Shilo undoubtedly wishes he could have back and a stain on his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> resume. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/ncaaf-news-shedeur-sanders-makes-honest-assessment-of-performance-on-buffaloes-loss"></div>


“You work to get back, then you get back and have the worst game of your life,” Sanders said, per DNVR Buffs. “It’s really disappointing for me and especially the fans, you know? I’ve been seeing everybody turn on me and stuff, but I’m not worried about that because as soon as you do good, they’ll be right back on your side.“



The Buffaloes hope to bounce back on their upcoming visit to Tucson to take on the Arizona Wildcats on October 19th. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:00p.m.ET.

Saturday’s action ended in dramatic fashion with the Colorado Buffaloes defeat to the Kansas State Wildcats at Folsom Field. Colorado is now on walking the plank with little to no margin for error moving forward on their season. Quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> was straightforward when addressing his individual play on the 31-28 loss to Kansas State.



Heading into the game, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Buffaloes</a> knew they faced a tall task in hosting the Wildcats. However, nothing could have fully prepared them for the events that unfolded, making their job even harder. Four receivers sustained injuries, including star Travis Hunter, who exited in the second quarter. Despite losing many of his familiar targets, Shedeur and the Buffaloes fought hard but ultimately came up just short of victory.



“It was aight,” Sanders said, via DNVR Buffs. “There was definitely some sacks I shouldn’t have took, some reads that I gotta make. I’ll watch the film and see where I can improve because I don’t think anyone ever plays a perfect game and I didn’t play a perfect game.”



Despite the injury bug to Colorado’s wide-receiver room, Sanders finished the game with 388 yards and three touchdowns. In terms of passing yards, it was Shedeur’s best game of the season. However, a bad interception, on an overthrown pass inside the redzone, stains his outing and was a decisive factor in the final score. In addition, Shedeur was sacked six times.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20241013_BUS_251628_Shedeur-Sanders-2-and-head-coach-Deion-Sanders-of-the-Colorado-Buffaloes-walk-the-sidelines-prior-t-1024x576_7a12aa6a.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-251693" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Shedeur-Sanders-2-and-head-coach-Deion-Sanders-of-the-Colorado-Buffaloes-walk-the-sidelines-prior-t-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Shedeur-Sanders-2-and-head-coach-Deion-Sanders-of-the-Colorado-Buffaloes-walk-the-sidelines-prior-t-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Shedeur-Sanders-2-and-head-coach-Deion-Sanders-of-the-Colorado-Buffaloes-walk-the-sidelines-prior-t-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Shedeur-Sanders-2-and-head-coach-Deion-Sanders-of-the-Colorado-Buffaloes-walk-the-sidelines-prior-t-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Shedeur-Sanders-2-and-head-coach-Deion-Sanders-of-the-Colorado-Buffaloes-walk-the-sidelines-prior-t.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Shedeur Sanders #2 and head coach Deion Sanders of the Colorado Buffaloes walk the sidelines prior to the game against the Kansas State Wildcats at Folsom Field on October 12, 2024 in Boulder, Colorado.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Perfect Timing </h2>



The Buffaloes suffered their second loss of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> season, and once again, the opponents’ locker room celebrated to the tune of Shedeur’s rap song, “Perfect Timing.” It seems the track has become a double-edged sword for Colorado’s QB, just like his signature watch celebration. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/ncaaf-news-deion-sanders-makes-harsh-admission-on-shilo-after-colorado-buffaloes-loss"></div>


However, Shedeur can still take some pride—if opponents are imitating him, he’s clearly doing something right and getting under their skin. 



<h2>Deion’s kudos to Kansas State</h2>



Deion Sanders offered high praise for the Wildcats’ program, giving them their due credit for the statement win in Boulder. Kansas State walked away with a huge victory when all of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> had its eyes on them.



“Sometimes you lose, you say, dang, we should’ve won that,” Deion said, per Coloradoan. “We should’ve had that. And that was one of those types of games. That’s not taking anything away from our opponents, because they played their butts off, and they’re in that locker room right now celebrating having a good time, and they deserve it.“

Just when everything seemed to be clicking for the Colorado Buffaloes, the wheels came off. Colorado fell to Kansas State, and now their season is in jeopardy once again. Head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion Sanders</a> made something clear on the Buffaloes after the 31-28 loss to the Wildcats.



It was heartbreak for the Buffaloes on Saturday night at Folsom Field. The win over Kansas State slipped away in the final minutes and Sanders’ team took a huge blow to their season aspirations. On Deion’s second year at Boulder, the Buffs hoped to make the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> playoffs. After six games, that seems out of the picture and focus now shifts to making a bowl game.



However, Deion addressed his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Buffaloes</a>‘ mindset and made something clear on his team after the loss that set their record to 4-2, 2-1 Big 12.



“That’s not in our thought process whatsoever, we’re one game at a time. Really, one game at a time,” Sanders stated, via Coloradoan. “We definitely want to, you know, the goal is to get Miss Peggy to a bowl. You know that. But we’re one game at a time. That’s the target. You know, you hate dropping those games but you can see that we’re trending in the right direction.”

<h2>Get right game</h2>



The Buffaloes’ chances on the Big 12 are now at stake. Their 2-1 conference record has them tied for third place with a bunch of teams. The loss to the Wildcats is hurtful for their season but the sky is not falling on the Buffaloes, yet.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/ncaaf-news-deion-sanders-makes-harsh-admission-on-shilo-after-colorado-buffaloes-loss"></div>


Next week, Colorado will have their shot to get back on track when they face the Arizona Wildcats (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) on the road. The Buffaloes hope to have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> sensation Travis Hunter, as well as Jimmy Horn Jr, back healthy for this matchup. Regardless, Deion is confident on his roster’s WR depth.



“We’re deep. I mean, that room is deep. Those guys step up tremendously. And we have freshmen that’re able to step up. And Drelon Miller did a wonderful job. Did a wonderful job of coming in there and making plays. So I’m happy with who they are, what they are, and how they work.”

The Colorado Buffaloes suffered a heartbreaking defeat to the No. 17 Kansas State Wildcats at Folsom Field. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion Sanders</a>‘ Buffs fell just short against their ranked Big 12 opponent. The head coach did not hold back in his postgame assessment, offering harsh criticism on the performance of his son Shilo Sanders.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Buffaloes</a> let an unbeatable opportunity slip away. A win over the Wildcats would have secured Colorado a spot in the AP Top-25 and improved their standing in the conference. Instead, Kansas State left Boulder with a 31-28 victory, resurrecting some old ghosts for Sanders’ program.



Colorado entered this big <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> matchup riding high on a three-game win streak and the return of defensive back Shilo Sanders. However, by the end of the night, the Buffaloes were left in sorrow and regret, with key injuries to star players and a deflating loss to a direct competitor. To make matters worse, Shilo’s performance was below par, and his father/coach didn’t hold back in his criticism.



“I thought he played horrible,” Deion commented, via Coloradoan. “I thought he was rusty. I thought he didn’t have his footing. I thought he wasn’t breaking down. He’s trying to make the play, but open field, one on one tackle with that kind of back, that ain’t an easy task, but he’s going to do better. I know what he has in him.“

<h2>Heisman favorite Travis Hunter left the game with injury</h2>



It was not Colorado’s night by any means. Even though the Buffaloes lost by one possession and the scoreboard could’ve changed had a PI call gone their way on their last offensive play of the game, the Buffs took too many blows and made some crucial mistakes.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/ncaaf-news-longhorns-qb-quinn-ewers-makes-major-admission-after-victory-against-oklahoma"></div>


Travis Hunter abandoned the game during the second quarter with an upper-body injury and did not return for the night. The WR room was depleted with Hunter’s exit, along with injuries to Jimmy Horn Jr, Omarion Miller, and Terrell Timmons Jr. Despite the light workforce, quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw for 388 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception.



“I never thought four receivers would get hurt in one game. That’s just ridiculous,” Shedeur said, per ABC. “But things happen. Life happens. So, we’ve just got to roll with it and do what we’ve got to do for next week.”



The Heisman Trophy rankings have shifted after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football’s</a> week 7. Odds are now in Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty’s favor. Hunter only managed to total three catches for 26 yards during his limited outing. Whereas Jeanty had another monstrous game against Hawai’i with 237 total yards and two touchdowns.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter">Travis Hunter</a> is undoubtedly one of the breakout stars of the NCAAF season. The versatile player for the Colorado Buffaloes has shown why he is among the best this season, making the Heisman Trophy a real possibility. His coach, Deion Sanders, was enthusiastic about this.



In the lead-up to Week 7, where the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Buffaloes</a> will face Kansas State, the eccentric coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Sanders</a> made an appearance on College Gameday and made it clear about his player and the chance to dethrone Ashton Jeanty in the Heisman Trophy race.



“How do you even fix your mouth to say [Travis Hunter is not the Heisman favorite]?” Sanders stated. “Second? Travis Hunter is second? Travis Hunter and second have never gotten along.”



It’s worth noting that both Hunter and QB Shedeur Sanders have been key players for the Buffaloes, who have serious intentions of winning the title. Additionally, the possibility of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football/ncaaf-news-raiders-owner-mark-davis-sends-intriguing-message-to-buffaloes-star-shedeur-sanders">Sanders becoming a next-level NFL prospect is growing stronger.</a>

“It’s not me against Travis,” Sanders stated, per Sports Illustrated. “I had my turn, man. I’m not a door knob anymore. You can’t just turn me on and off like a light switch anymore. I don’t do that. Travis is everything. He is ‘it.’ It’s his turn now. I want him to have all the accolades, all the praise, all the love, all the attention, and all the focus that he desires. I’ve had my turn.“, the HC concluded.

NCAAF News: Buffaloes HC Deion Sanders is firm about Travis Hunter and the Heisman Trophy

NCAAF News: Buffaloes HC Deion Sanders is firm about Travis Hunter and the Heisman Trophy - Bolavip US

The Texas Tech Red Raiders are set to face the Colorado Buffaloes on November 9th in an electrifying Big 12 matchup. Texas Tech fans are already buzzing with excitement about hosting <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion Sanders</a>’ squad for this late-season encounter. Adding to the anticipation, the school recently announced a special tribute to Patrick Mahomes, making the date even more significant.



Both Texas Tech and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Colorado</a> are among the top teams in the conference. Currently, the Red Raiders sit atop the standings with an impressive 3-0 record in Big 12 play. However, as November 9th approaches, the landscape of the standings could change dramatically.



Patrick Mahomes will be honored during the game against the Buffaloes with a tribute that few have ever received. When the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-tech-red-raiders">Red Raiders</a> take the field, they will don unique uniforms inspired by the legendary quarterback, featuring Mahomes’ brand logo on the left chest of the jersey.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> has remained actively involved with his alma mater since his rise in the NFL. Earlier this year, the school hinted at this collaboration by painting Mahomes’ logo on the field. Now, on November 9th, they will wear his brand against none other than the Colorado Buffaloes, coached by Primetime and led on the field by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> superstars Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter.

<h2>Mahomes stats and accolades at Texas Tech</h2>



Although Patrick Mahomes didn’t achieve the same level of collective success at Texas Tech as he did with the Kansas City Chiefs, his statistics are nothing to be ashamed of. His <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> production set him to be selected with the 10th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. 


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/ncaaf-news-deion-sanders-makes-something-clear-on-buffaloes-star-travis-hunter"></div>


Mahomes arrived in Lubbock, Texas, in 2014. During his freshman year, the quarterback played in seven games, recording 105 completions for 1,547 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions. His sophomore year saw an increase in production, as he played in 13 games and threw for 4,653 yards, 36 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions on 364 completions.

The Colorado Buffaloes football program has a unique gem in their ranks. Head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion Sanders</a> made something clear on star Travis Hunter and addressed the comparisons between themselves.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Colorado</a> will host Kansas State on Saturday October 12th, the Buffs will be looking to make a statement win over a ranked opponent. Deion Sanders knows what’s at stake on this matchup, and it’s much more than a single win.



On the one hand, the Buffaloes could finally make the AP Top-25 with a victory over the Wildcats. On the other hand, and individually, standout <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter">Travis Hunter</a> could take the top spot in the Heisman Trophy rankings with a solid performance. Ahead of the match, Sanders made something clear on his coaching of Hunter.



“It’s not me against Travis,” Sanders stated, per Sports Illustrated. “I had my turn, man. I’m not a door knob anymore. You can’t just turn me on and off like a light switch anymore. I don’t do that. Travis is everything. He is ‘it.’ It’s his turn now. I want him to have all the accolades, all the praise, all the love, all the attention, and all the focus that he desires. I’ve had my turn.“

<h2>Heisman’s final sprint</h2>



The Heisman Trophy race is heating up in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a>, with three top candidates in the mix. Colorado’s Travis Hunter holds an edge due to his exceptional two-way play. However, the challengers are closing in after standout performances, while Hunter and the Buffaloes were on a bye week. He has some ground to make up.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/ncaaf-news-deion-sanders-makes-blunt-admission-on-colorado-buffaloes-frustration"></div>


Cam Ward and Ashton Jeanty are also strong contenders for the trophy, with solid cases to win in December in New York City. However, Deion Sanders’ talented two-way star at Colorado is widely regarded as the most complete player in the nation and could reclaim the top spot as he returns to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> action this weekend.

The Colorado Buffaloes are riding a three-game win streak and gearing up for a pivotal test against the Kansas State Wildcats. While the team’s spirits are sky-high, head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion Sanders</a> acknowledged there is some regret and frustration simmering inside the Buffaloes’ locker room



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Buffaloes</a> are among the top teams in the Big 12 Conference, boasting an impressive 4-1 record. Colorado has already matched its win total from last season, a testament to the team’s growth. However, their lone loss this season still stings, serving as a chip on the Buffaloes’ shoulder as they move forward.



Ahead of a crucial <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> matchup, Deion admitted the Buffaloes’ big loss against the Nebraska Cornhuskers still lingers in Boulder, Colorado: “Some of us are still upset about the Nebraska game,” Sanders admitted, via Sports Illustrated. “We wish we had that right now. Because we feel we aren’t then where we are right now.”



That <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> rivalry game is now water under the bridge, as Colorado shifts its focus toward conference play and the task at hand. The Buffaloes are using that loss as fuel and will aim to take down No. 18 Kansas State in an electric showdown on October 12th at 11:15 p.m. ET.

<h2>Shilo Sanders returns from injury</h2>



The Buffaloes loss to the Cornhuskers understandably left a sour taste. Colorado’s season was shaken up with the wide-margin loss in enemy territory, furthermore the Buffs sustained a big injury to their safety Shilo Sanders. After a three-game absence, Shilo recovered from his fractured forearm and will return to the field on Saturday against the Wildcats.

“Shilo’s ready. He’s practicing. He’s full go,” Deion Sanders said, via ESPN. “Has a rubber cast on. He’s doing his thing. I can’t wait to see him back there.”

“Shilo’s ready. He’s practicing. He’s full go,” Deion Sanders said, via ESPN. “Has a rubber cast on. He’s doing his thing. I can’t wait to see him back there.”
