Deion Sanders tore into his protection on stay TV
“Sizzling rubbish,” Sanders mentioned of his protection. “Can’t cease them on first downs. First downs, that’s after they’re making the massive performs.”

Colorado’s outlook
Colorado entered the sport 1-1 with a win over Delaware and loss to Georgia Tech. With a convention loss to Houston, the beginning of the 2025 season has not appeared nice for Colorado. The Buffaloes are of their first season with out Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders, so some bumpiness was to be anticipated. That’s precisely what we’re getting.
That mentioned, with Colorado failing to deal with opponents early within the season and looking out unhealthy within the losses, it is truthful to marvel if Sanders’ workforce will even be bowl-eligible. The Buffs have bouts in opposition to 2-0 Wyoming, 2-0 BYU and 1-0 TCU looming. Then they’ve back-to-back showdowns in opposition to ranked groups — No. 14 Iowa State and No. 20 Utah. Then they shut out the season to 2-0 Arizona, 1-1 West Virginia, 1-1 Arizona State and 1-2 Kansas State. The place will 5 further wins come from?
