Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes were hoping to win their second straight game and move to 2-1 on the season when they took on the Houston Cougars on Friday night.
Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Sanders’ squad didn’t come close to accomplish their goal.
Not only did Colorado lose the game, but the team lost it in embarrassing fashion. There were not many positives for the Buffaloes to take away from the game.

When all was said and done, Colorado lost to Houston by a final score of 36-20. Sanders was not happy at all with his teams performance throughout the game.
Following the game, Sanders spoke out with some brutal remarks about his team. While they were brutal, they were 100 percent truthful as well.
“Oh, Lord, thank you. I’m thanking God for not allowing me to say what I want to say,” Sanders said. “It wasn’t good. It wasn’t good at all. I take full responsibility of the foolishness that went on out there that we tried to name football. We tried to call it football. It wasn’t that. We’ve got to do better in every phase of the game. We’ve got to do better preparing our kids. We’ve got to do better, period.”
He was also asked about his teams struggle, which led to another pointed message from Sanders.
“We’re not struggling. We’re getting our butts kicked. You don’t have to be polite with me. You don’t have to sugarcoat it,” Sanders said.
Sanders is spot on with his comments. Not only are the Buffaloes getting beat, they’re getting embarrassed. After a 1-2 start, their hope of making a run at the College Football Playoff is already gone.
Fans were wondering what could be expected from Colorado after the team lost both Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter to the NFL. So far, there hasn’t been much to be excited about for the future.

If the current level of play continues forward, Sanders could become a name on the hot seat. More than likely, the Buffaloes wouldn’t move on from him after one off year, but his seat could get relatively warm.
Next up for Colorado will be a matchup at home against the Wyoming Cowboys on September 20. Sanders will try to have his team better prepared for that game.
