Colorado Coach Deion Sanders Takes Responsibility After 36-20 Houston Loss

Colorado Buffaloes football coach Deion Sanders expressed deep frustration and disappointment following the team's 36-20 loss to Houston, which dropped their record to 1-2 for the season. Sanders described the Buffaloes' defense as "hot garbage" after surrendering 431 yards of total offense, including 209 rushing yards and multiple touchdowns by Houston quarterback Connor Weigman. He took full responsibility for the team's poor performance, acknowledging that the team was not just struggling but being decisively beaten, and admitted being "dumbfounded" by how badly the team played. The quarterback situation remains unsettled, with Sanders unsure about who will lead the offense after starting third-string quarterback Ryan Staub struggled, throwing two interceptions late in the game. Despite some offensive sparks, the overall performance highlighted issues in all phases of the team, prompting Sanders to emphasize the need for urgent improvement. The Buffaloes face a critical stretch ahead as they attempt to rebound and salvage a winning season.
