Colorado Falls to 3–8 as Deion Sanders Pledges Changes After 42–17 Loss to Arizona State

Athletic department support, alongside a costly contract, points to an expected return next season.

Overview

  • Sanders said multiple changes are already in progress and emphasized accountability, declining to specify details to avoid misinterpretation.
  • A fourth-quarter substitution of little-used Ronald Coleman led to a fumble that preceded an 88-yard Arizona State touchdown and shifted the game’s momentum.
  • Arizona State piled up 580 yards as Raleek Brown rushed for 255 yards, while Colorado turned four Sun Devils turnovers into only three points.
  • True freshman Julian Lewis made his second start and went 19-of-38 for 161 yards and a touchdown, with his redshirt status for the Kansas State finale still undecided.
  • Colorado athletic director Rick George publicly backed Sanders this week as the coach fell to 16-20 at CU, with the Buffaloes closing the regular season next week at Kansas State.
