Deion Sanders Responds to Barack Obama Comments

After Colorado's impressive 34-7 victory over Arizona, head coach Deion Sanders playfully pushed back against former President Barack Obama's pregame comments that the Buffaloes had 'a couple good players'. Obama, speaking in Tucson, had predicted a Wildcats win, citing Arizona's previous two victories over Colorado. In his postgame remarks, Sanders expressed admiration for Obama but emphasized that his team has more talent than suggested, saying, 'We have more than two good players.' He attributed Obama's comments to the need to appeal to local supporters while criticizing the political nature of such remarks. With this win, Colorado improved to 5-2, marking their best start since 2018 and moving closer to bowl eligibility. Sanders highlighted the overall performance of his team, particularly noting receiver LaJohntay Wester's standout game with 127 yards.
