Well, this could be because of the Buffs’ Week 2 performance against Nebraska. But making such statements is also very weird, looking at the disappointing loss of 41-17 against the Miami Hurricanes. However, Billy’s job is at stake, as he could be the first head coach sacked this season. Now, Deion Sanders’s Week 2 projection created fret around his position with the Colorado Buffs. The expectations were high looking at their season opener performance, but the team struggled throughout their match against Nebraska.
Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffs’ weak performance
The Colorado Buffs faceoff against Nebraska was their worst on-field display of football so far this season. Since the start, Colorado’s gameplay looked weak, resulting in an untimely 28-10 loss to Nebraska. The Buff’s offense was very weak, which gave an edge to the Cornhuskers defense. Making an easy way towards Shedeur Sanders. Shedeur was struggling to run from the Huskers pass rush.
However, in the second half, Shedeur tried to get inside Nebraska’s field. Shedeur ran for 238 yards with just one touchdown. Even dual-threat Travis Hunter was a big advantage on the team offense. Travis also received 110 yards with 10 catches. Hunter’s performance somehow managed to keep the Cornhuskers offense to zero points and 123 total yards in the final quarter. Despite an improved performance in the second half, the Buffs finally received an embarrassing loss against Nebraska. Apart from the loss, Deion Sanders’ team also suffered two significant setbacks. A targeting penalty led to the ejection of linebacker Trevor Woods and safety Shilo Sanders suffered a forearm injury. It was a tough day for the team. Let’s see if Coach Prime’s Colorado Buffs could make it to the playoffs this season. What are your thoughts on it, do let us know in the comments.
