College football news is currently revolving around head coach Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. With him leading the team 3-0 from last season’s 11-1 loss, everything looked promising before yesterday. But Coach Prime is facing different responses since the unexpected blowout loss to the Oregon Ducks.?

The last game indeed stripped Deion Sanders’ team of their three winning streaks against TCU, Nebraska, and Colorado State. But the game did more than just give a wake-up call to the Buffaloes. Dan Lanning’s Oregon dragged them into their grave with a humiliating score of 42-6.?
This epic game saw the Buffaloes facing 12 penalties, with their prominent quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, getting sacked seven times. Son of Coach Prime, it is unsettling to see him achieving just 159 yards compared to Oregon’s quarterback Bo Nix with 276 yards and three touchdowns.?
But as much as criticisms and trolls come, Skip Bayless still defends the former Baltimore Ravens cornerback and Colorado in a post, saying, “Yes, Deion Sanders has done a lot talking? because he’s great at it and he’s trying to send a recruiting message that Colorado is THE PLACE TO BE. The Lannings of the world are SCARED TO DEATH of what Deion is building. So Lanning can take his shots now, while he can. But #HeComing.“

Considering Deion Sanders’ booming popularity among football fans, it should’ve been a terrible blow, but that’s not the case with Coach Prime. Quickly recovering from the 42-6 deficit, he said there was “no excuse” as to why his team “played like hot garbage.” He acknowledged Oregon’s coaches, saying they “did a good job preparing their team.”
Deion Sanders also took to online criticism from people saying that Colorado is not arrogant; rather, they are confident, and it “offends their insecurity.” But he’s as determined to get back up and recoup the loss they faced. He said, “Get your butt up and let’s go. We ain’t got time to have a lot party. Ain’t nobody walking around the locker room with napkins and tissues.“
