Deion Sanders Defends Aggressive Play in Colorado's 28-9 Win Over Colorado State

Sanders faced criticism for keeping starters in late, citing disrespect and desire for a decisive victory.

  • Colorado coach Deion Sanders kept his starters in the game during the final minutes, aiming to score rather than take a knee.
  • Quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Deion's son, was exposed to potential injury after taking a hit from a Colorado State lineman in the closing moments.
  • Sanders justified his decision by pointing to trash talk and alleged unsportsmanlike conduct from Colorado State players leading up to and during the game.
  • Travis Hunter, a standout two-way player, had another impressive performance but admitted to feeling fatigued late in the game.
  • The Buffaloes' offensive line showed significant improvement, allowing only one sack compared to six in their previous game against Nebraska.
