- NCAA. Deion Sanders makes no excuses for Colorado's crushing defeat: 'Probably the worst beating I've ever had, this is bad'
- NCAA. They don't want him in Colorado anymore: Calls for Deion Sanders to be sacked after embarrassing defeat to Utah
What an absolute disaster for the Colorado Buffaloes under Deion Sanders. They didn't even put up a fight. Utah completely erased them from the field in a blowout so brutal that Coach Prime later admitted he was "stunned" by his team's performance.
Sanders' squad didn't just feel the pain; they were overwhelmed. By the end of the first quarter, they were already down by 17 points, and Utah was feasting. The staggering 46-point differential marked the largest margin in 72 years of the "Rumble in the Rockies" rivalry between Colorado and Utah. It was also the worst defeat of Deion Sanders' tenure as head coach.
An unprecedented humiliation for Deion Sanders
The Buffaloes looked lost as Utah piled up points with ease. Their defense was a mere shadow of itself, offering little resistance. Those first 17 points in the opening quarter were bad enough, but the second quarter was an all-out collapse. Utah turned the Buffaloes into helpless rag dolls, scoring 26 more points as Colorado's defense crumbled entirely.
By halftime, the scoreboard showed a crushing 43-point deficit, utterly impossible to overcome. Yet Utah didn't stop. They stayed professional, continuing to dominate even with the outcome long decided.
Though they eased off slightly, Utah still added a field goal in the third quarter and capped the night with another touchdown in the fourth. It was a complete dismantling of Deion Sanders' team from start to finish.
Where are Deion Jr, Shilo, Shedeur Sanders?
Deion's sons, Shilo, Shedeur, and Deion Jr., are usually visible presences after every game, win or lose. But this time, they've remained silent. Neither has appeared on social media to show public support for their father after the humiliating loss.
In previous weeks, both were quick to post messages of encouragement or share reflections following games, even in defeat. Their absence now speaks volumes, perhaps a sign of deep embarrassment over what happened in Salt Lake City.
Deion Jr. was reportedly at Utah's stadium to support the team, yet after the debacle, he went completely quiet. On Instagram, he only shared casual photos from the facilities, avoiding any mention of the game or his father's team.
For Shedeur, things might be slightly different. Reports surfaced Saturday, October 25, that he would likely miss the Cleveland Browns' game due to injury, though nothing has been confirmed. That could explain his social media silence, but it's still surprising that neither brother has issued a word of encouragement after their father's worst defeat since joining Colorado.
Now, Deion Sanders must face the aftermath alone. He needs to regroup, deliver a clear and powerful message to his players, and demand accountability. Performances like this one, which bring shame to the program and the university, cannot be repeated under his watch.
