Under the guidance of Head Coach Deion “Prime” Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes Football team kicked off the season on a high note, securing unexpected wins against formidable opponents like TCU. However, as the season progressed, the Buffs faced challenges closing out games, often trailing or surrendering leads in the second half. Despite the team’s struggles, the program has undergone a remarkable transformation, winning four games, boosting ticket sales, and garnering increased attention for the university.

A football icon, Coach Sanders attributes the team’s difficulties to the learning curve associated with rebuilding. He contends that the star-studded players are still figuring out “how to win.” Despite the team’s newfound fame, they have encountered setbacks, losing six games and currently ranking 11th in the PAC-12. The prospect of rejoining the Big 12 in the next season prompts questions about the Buffs’ ability to contend, considering their challenges in the PAC-12.
Following a recent loss, Coach Deion “Prime” Sanders issued apologies to both players and fans. Expressing regret for not sending out departing players on a high note and acknowledging the disappointment of home game sellouts resulting in a 2-4 home record, Sanders emphasized the team’s closeness to success but lamented the lack of knowledge on securing victories.

Sanders acknowledged the fans’ expectations for victory, seeing it as a sign of progress. Despite inconsistencies in certain positions, he emphasized the overall progress, stating that the team is often competitive and attributing one significant loss to Oregon.

As the Buffs look to the future, questions arise about their ability to adjust in the remaining two games of the season and heading into the next. Coach Sanders’s support level is evident, but the looming uncertainty revolves around whether the team will secure a postseason spot or conclude with eight losses. The upcoming games will undoubtedly be pivotal in determining the program’s trajectory and aspirations.
