Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders expresses both frustration and optimism following a 31-28 loss to No. 18 Kansas State. He highlights defensive struggles against the run, critical mistakes, and the impact of key injuries while praising his team's heart and depth.
After the Colorado Buffaloes ’ narrow 31-28 loss to No. 18 Kansas State, head coach Deion Sanders reflected on the game, expressing both frustration and optimism in his postgame remarks. His message primarily focused on the inability of the Buffaloes to stop the run, their defensive breakdowns, and the impact of key injuries, while also praising the heart and depth of his team.
He also praised Kansas State’s head coach, Chris Klieman, for having his team well-prepared for the game. Coming from a similar background in the FCS as Klieman, Sanders noted his respect for his counterpart’s ability to coach at a high level. On offense, the Buffaloes struggled with execution in the running game and pass protection. Sanders recognized the play-calling was solid but felt that the players didn’t execute properly. “We didn’t execute. We miss a block here. We missed this there. We just didn’t execute,” he said, noting the six sacks allowed by the offensive line, though he acknowledged that Shedeur Sanders, his quarterback, also needed to get the ball out faster at times.
Despite the loss, Sanders remained proud of his team’s resilience. The Buffaloes had battled back from a 10-point deficit late in the game, showing their fighting spirit. “I mean, you guys know this is a totally different team. This team has heart, they have integrity, they're tough, they love to play this game. We just came up short.”
