Deion Sanders Reacts to Colorado’s Costly Loss to TCU
After Colorado blew another early lead — this time a 14-0 advantage — and fell 35-21 to TCU in Fort Worth, head coach Deion Sanders didn’t hold back. Turnovers, missed opportunities, and familiar late-game struggles defined the night, and Sanders made it clear that both players and coaches need to take a hard look in the mirror.
Opening Thoughts
Sanders called the loss “truly disappointing” and told his team postgame that the issue wasn’t just losing — it was beating themselves with repeated mistakes.
“This isn’t the first time we’ve been in this situation,” he said. “We keep making the same errors in critical moments. Until we change what we’re doing, the results won’t change either.”
While Colorado was outmatched in their Houston loss, Sanders believed they had every chance to win the last few games — but failed to execute when it mattered most.
On What Needs to Change
Sanders emphasized the need for stronger leadership — not just during games but also on the practice field. He noted that the most consistent performers on the team right now are the specialists, and that’s a problem when leadership should be more widespread.
On Coaching Accountability
Sanders took some responsibility himself and challenged his coaching staff to do better.
“I’m not blaming the staff, but I’m challenging them — and myself,” he said. “We’re getting into the same late-game situations over and over, and we’re not handling them. That’s on preparation.”
Why This Loss Stings More
Despite acknowledging TCU’s solid play and coaching, Sanders said the loss was frustrating because he felt Colorado was the better team — a sentiment he’s had in recent weeks as well.
“I’m seeing what you’re seeing. We keep putting ourselves in a position to win — and keep letting it slip away.”
