Colorado Football's Struggles Spark Leadership Debate for Coach Deion Sanders

Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes suffered a narrow 24-21 loss to BYU, dropping their record to 3-2 and reigniting debates about the quarterback position, particularly the role of Kaidon Salter versus freshman Juju Lewis. Despite Salter's mixed performance, including a touchdown pass and rushing score, late-game mistakes contributed to the team's offensive struggles and costly penalties. Sanders took responsibility for the team's shortcomings, emphasizing the need for improvement without making excuses. Meanwhile, his son, Shedeur Sanders, has faced criticism and a lack of playing time since joining the Cleveland Browns, prompting Deion Sanders to publicly support him amid calls for a trade. The Colorado program, rejuvenated under Deion Sanders with better recruiting and national attention, faces questions about whether Sanders will remain despite interest from other programs like Arkansas. Colorado's roster strengths lie in its wide receiver corps, but issues remain in the running back room, highlighted by the recent increased use of versatile player Dre'Lon Miller to add a new dimension to the offense.
