Deion Sanders Ripped by Colorado Fans for Getting Outcoached in 4th Straight Loss | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Sophia Dalton The Colorado Buffaloes have now lost four straight and six of seven after falling 34-31 to the Arizona Wildcats at home on Saturday.
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders fared well by completing 22-of-35 passes for 262 yards and two scores while rushing for 42 yards and one more touchdown. Two-way athlete Travis Hunter caught five passes for 74 yards while adding six tackles (five solo) and one pass breakup on defense.
But Colorado had no answers for Arizona running back Jonah Coleman (11 carries, 179 rushing yards) or wide receiver Tetaiora McMillan (9 catches, 107 yards, one score).
The Colorado offense also went scoreless on its final three drives, while Arizona scored 10 unanswered fourth-quarter points capped by a Tyler Loop 24-yard field goal with no time remaining.

Ultimately, this was another tough loss for Deion Sanders' Buffaloes, whose season started with great promise after a 3-0 start and a No. 19 Associated Press poll ranking. Unfortunately, the Pac-12 slate has been unkind to the Buffaloes, who have now gone 1-6 in conference play.
Colorado must now win both its final games—road matchups against Washington State and Utah--to become bowl eligible.
Although CU has endured a difficult run after a great start, the Buffaloes have still won four times as many games as last year, an 1-11 campaign that preceded Sanders' arrival from Jackson State.
Still, fans are now directing negative attention at Sanders, whose coaching has been called into question after a rough run and especially Saturday, when CU had a great chance to get back to .500.
Denver Broncos 365 @DailyBroncosThe Buffs led all game. Horrible penalties, horrible situational coaching. <br><br>If it wasn't Deion Sanders, questions would be circulating about the man in charge.
Duke Lukas @DukeLukas7On that 3rd down Arizona play, Deion Sanders and the Colorado coaches ABSOLUTELY 1000% HAD to let their players know to let AZ score IF they got the first down, otherwise it's ballgame. Do you REALLY think Deion Sanders and the Colorado coaches told them that? Neither do I.
colorado buffalo enjoyer @therealtronnyDeion Sanders is in over his head.
TLD.org @stocksandflocksDeion Sanders showing once again he's no head coach. You tell the team if they get the first down then just let them walk in. Now you're done.
Silver Buff @silver_buffThis one's on <a href="">@DeionSanders</a> lack of awareness and discipline.
Chris Spomer @C_SpomerWow. <a href="">@DeionSanders</a> and Coach Kelly mismanage yet another end of a half. Absolutely have to let them score there. Also so much for autoMATAica. Good stuff!
All Things Chicago Sports @things_soxDeion Sanders would tell a coach performing like Deion Sanders is to pack his bags and enter the transfer portal.
Justin @ChipparachiColorado sucks & don't know how to win & <a href="">@DeionSanders</a> starting to make me mad with them conservative ass play calls,
Leef @kaleef_7Questionable coaching <a href="">@DeionSanders</a>
Jean Nlandu @JeanNlandu31681Horrible showcase again from <a href="">@CUBuffsFootball</a> just such an immature team performance again when it matters. No tome management, bad play calls al over the place in offence. Man to end the season like this 🤮🤮🤮 . So much work to do <a href="">@DeionSanders</a> this was not good
Suge @Ant__SandersDeion out coached again
The season isn't over yet, however. Colorado will look to keep its bowl hopes alive against Washington State next Friday at 10:30 p.m. ET.
