Deion Sanders makes “toughest” admission as Colorado star aims “selfish” dig

Deion Sanders admits the Colorado Buffaloes are playing without an identity amid their five-game losing streak, saying their breakout team is playing too selfish.

Colorado Buffaloes football coach Deion Sanders admitted that the team’s losing season was the most difficult period of his football career.

Despite starting the season on a positive note with a 3-0 record, the Buffaloes have suffered a sharp slump in college football, losing seven of their last eight games and snapping a five-game losing streak.
The team’s recent 56-14 loss to the Washington State Cougars highlighted further concerns about the team’s identity and overall performance.

Colorado quarterback Sheder Sanders suffered an injury during the second quarter of the game.
According to Coach Prime, Sanders had to be ejected after the second goal for not handling the ball.

Sanders opened the game completing 6 of 10 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown.
Despite scoring seven points in the first quarter, the Buffaloes didn’t score again until the fourth quarter.

Coach Sanders said he was proud of his team’s effort and competitiveness in the second half despite being down 35 points at halftime.
In a postgame interview, Sanders admitted that the losing streak was one of the “toughest times” of his coaching career.

“It’s probably the hardest part of my life,” Sanders said.
“I encouraged them to come out and stand up for themselves and their families and the names on the front and the back.
I urged them to advocate for this and they responded.
They don’t stretch.
I’m proud of them for going out and fighting.
I’m real.”

Coach Prime also admitted that the team’s poor play contributed to their downfall.
“It’s unfortunate the way we played,” Sanders said.
“We prepared like no other for this week.
It doesn’t matter who we are or how we’re going to put on a performance like this.
I was proud that we haven’t seen a single stoppage or layoff since the start of the season.\”

“There were a few moments in the first half where I didn’t see the passion I wanted to see.
“We met at halftime and they came back and scored.” I applaud them for fighting back in the second half.
“We’re not like that,” Coach Sanders said.
“I’m still trying to figure out who we are, who we are, and after a few weeks, I still don’t know.”

Colorado State’s Kavosius Smoak took to social media to express his belief that his team could have achieved an undefeated record had they not played so selfishly.
“The simple fact is, we could have gone undefeated this year.
There’s too much selfishness.”

“(We) can’t win like that.
“You have to play as a team to win, but if you go the other way, you’ll get the same result,” Smoke said.
