Colorado Buffaloes fans were left disappointed after their team fell short against Kansas State, losing 28-31 following back-to-back victories. Despite the recent successes, the defeat highlighted challenges that could affect their position in the Big 12. Who would have thought that coach Prime would lose after a bye week even after displaying phenomenal performances so far?

Their defeat against No. 18 Kansas State is not the only reason that has ruined the night for fans. With the loss, the Buffs faced some significant injuries last night, which impacted their game. However, neither fans, experts, nor NFL legends anticipated Kansas State’s victory over Colorado. After the game, NFL legends Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson discussed Deion Sanders’ blunders involving Shedeur Sanders last night.

Shannon and Ocho, on their show, Nightcap, reflected on the critical challenges faced by the Colorado Buffaloes during their recent game. Talking about the Buffs’ run defense, Shannon Sharpe said, “He couldn’t stop the run in the first three quarters; yeah, I got a job late the b–l game. I think it had 11, 12, and 13 yards. Ochocinco, you can’t let a team run the b–l like that on you. I don’t care what level of football you play, if you can’t stop the run, you can’t win. Yeah. And again, another thing that I saw early on, they were bringing pressure to get your door late for the b–l game.”

Further, Ocho questioned Sanders’ strategy and stated, “That was just poor man pressure. That was just four guys, and they wouldn’t even bring an extra man early in the game. They were bringing extra man and guy, yeah, you know what happened now, you know, as the game goes, you get to the get to those, those late quarters that, you know, boy, get tired now you get lackadaisical. Your technique, you know, it squanders a little bit.” The defense failed to stop Kansas State from moving the b–l throughout the game. Even though the offense rallied to take the lead late in the game, Avery Johnson easily took it back.

Although Shedeur had a great game, some could question his last play, where he went for a long pass instead of getting a first down. The Buffs could have taken the game to OT with a field goal. That shouldn’t take away from the Buffs’ QB’s heroics during the game.,

Shedeur Sanders’ efforts fall short as injuries hurt Buffaloes in close loss

Following their recent defeat, the Colorado Buffaloes now hold a 4-2 record. Last night’s game was a nightmare for the team, as three key wide receivers had to leave the field due to injuries. Fans who entered the stadium filled with hope and positivity had to leave with disappointment. However, the Buffs did not lose by a huge margin. Now you must be wondering, if not Travis Hunter, then who kept the Buffs alive till the fourth quarter?

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders stepped in again and displayed some impressive game. Even though he has been questioned for his incomplete pass, which would have helped the Buffs in turnover, he still managed to lead his team till the last quarter. With the help of LaJohntay Wester, he scored an 11-yard touchdown, which helped the Buffs with a 28-24 lead when 3:13 was remaining.

Shedeur completed 34 out of 40 passes for 388 yards and also scored three crucial touchdowns. He was sacked six times but delivered a strong performance against a top-20 team. His game this year so far highlights his ability to lead the Buffaloes in challenging circumstances.

Deion Sanders’ statement after the game highlights his mindset for the upcoming game, “Sometimes, when you lose in life, you get your butt kicked, and you just have to take it.” Sanders added, “But sometimes you lose, you say, dang, we should’ve won that. We should’ve had that. And that was one of those types of games.”
