Deion Sanders' emotional speech—Is he the heart and soul the Buffs needed to turn things around?

The Buffs are gearing up for their next match against the University of Baylor now. But at the moment, Deion seems to be shedding tears over his feelings of pride over his players.

The Buffaloes ended their game against the Rams with a clear score of 28-9, squashing down all the heat of the rivalry along with avoiding any injuries to the players. The entire clash was full of friction. The CSU players were putting heavy pressure on the Buffs’ with their constant fouls. However, Deion Sanders’s team didn’t crack. They went on to silence their iconic rivals on the grand stage of the Rocky Mountain Showdown. Now, he’s expressing his pride for the players with sheer emotions and a few tears along with it. Jay Grime, an avid Buffs fan, took to Instagram to share a video from the locker room where Deion was seen giving a post-game speech to his players.

CSU’s Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi and Tory Horton had harsh words to say for their rivals where they were heard saying things like, “We should have murdered them guys, we’re coming for revenge” and “We’ll see how far Instagram followers gets them.” As such, during the post-game conference, Deion Sanders claimed that the game was “wonderful”. He also called it “personal” as he celebrated the monumental win.

Furthermore, the HC highlighted the constant disrespect that they were subjected to and said, “The disrespect was uncalled for during the week. We knew coming into the game would be a bit personal. I just pray that our kids would never act in that matter, cause y’all would have a field day with it.” CSU’s players went a bit far and made some horrendous remarks against Colorado, but after yesterday’s performance, they will be compelled to eat their words with a pinch of salt. Thus, this win was fully being played for respec. That’s exactly what the Colorado team has now in the eyes of the world of college football.
