This is the matchup we all wanted to see at the USC vs Colorado game.
Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders began his press conference with a touch of humor by joking about a "wonderful win" that didn't happen.
Despite the 48-41 loss to No. 8 USC, the Buffaloes showed resilience and determination, particularly in the second half,
where they outscored the Trojans 27-14 and staged a 14-0 comeback in the fourth quarter. They also outgained USC offensively.
Both Deion and Shedeur Sanders rejected the idea of "moral victories," but they acknowledged the positive aspects of Colorado's strong second-half performance against a team led by the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Caleb Williams.
This display of competitiveness raised optimism for a program that had struggled with a 1-11 record in the previous year.
Coach Deion Sanders expressed his pride in the players, coaches, fan base, and the student body for their representation of Boulder in the game.
Shedeur Sanders, the quarterback, played a crucial role in the comeback, alongside standout Omarion Miller, who set a freshman receiving yardage record.
Despite a difficult start to the season, the Buffaloes displayed resilience and a determination to improve.
Young players like Miller and Cormani McClain emerged, making significant contributions to the team.
Deion Sanders, while acknowledging his son's talent and maturity, emphasized the team's need to improve their performance in the first halves of games.
The coach noted that while the strong finish was important, the team was still in search of its "true identity" after a September where Colorado garnered significant attention in college football
