Deion Sanders Takes Blame as Colorado’s 3-7 Mark Ends Bowl Hopes

He argues the team is underperforming its talent, with a long-term contract keeping NFL talk in the realm of speculation.

Overview

  • Colorado’s 29-22 loss at West Virginia on Nov. 8 clinched a losing season and eliminated bowl eligibility.
  • Sanders told reporters, “This is not who we are,” accepting responsibility and saying the results don’t match the roster’s ability.
  • The Buffaloes have dropped three straight, including 53-7 and 52-17 defeats to Utah and Arizona, and have been outscored 105-24 in those two games.
  • True freshman Julian Lewis started against WVU, threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns, is set to burn his redshirt, and is slated for his first home start Nov. 22 vs. Arizona State.
  • Sanders is 16-19 at Colorado and is signed through 2029 on a reported $54 million deal, as media chatter linking him to the NFL, including a speculative Browns scenario, remains unconfirmed.
