After hyping every aspect of college football with a pristine 3-0 season start, the Colorado Buffaloes couldn’t carry their success ahead as they leave the regular season. And who else but Coach Prime Deion Sanders would receive all the backlash for rising on top of the game to sinking to the bottom? But this disappointing season isn’t the end for Deion Sanders who has plans up his sleeves for the next season.
Colorado’s last 23-17 defeat against Utah rendered them an overall season record of 4-8. Despite getting only four wins, the change that Coach Prime brought to Boulder in his first season is still impressive, considering that they were 1-11 last season. And now that he has tasted the fruits of success, even if it’s only for a brief moment, his confidence and determination have grown even bigger.

Coach Prime entered Colorado with star players including his QB son Shedeur Sanders and 2022 No. 1 recruit and two-way star Travis Hunter. And while they gave the nation a lot to talk about, they didn’t manage to make it for a bowl appearance. Following the end of the season after a dreary record, three players de-committed from Colorado in 24 hours. They’re namely QB recruit Danny O’Neil, QB prospect Antwann Hill Jr., and RB prospect Jamarice Wilder. However, Coach Prime remains unfazed by the situation, saying, “A kid ain’t even faithful to his girlfriend. You think he’s gonna be faithful to a school? Come on, man.“
