Overview
- A Texas Tech fan reported finding a booklet of Colorado offensive planning pages in the Omni Interlocken hotel lobby before the Oct. 3 game, and images circulated online showing those pages.
- Shared photos labeled sections such as “Series Openers” and “Must Calls” and comparisons by multiple outlets matched several plays from Colorado’s scripted opening drive.
- Head coach Deion Sanders acknowledged portions appeared real at an Oct. 13 news conference and repeatedly downplayed the episode as a routine mistake that will not be pursued publicly.
- Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire said his staff never saw the material before kickoff and no reporting to date has shown the Red Raiders used the pages in planning the game.
- The episode has shifted scrutiny toward Colorado’s handling of sensitive game-planning documents and procedural security, and the program could face review only if new evidence emerges.
