Colorado coach Deion Sanders is straight-up not satisfied with his squad’s home opener, even after they dropped 52 points and quarterback Julian Lewis made program history in a blowout win against Weber State. Forget the scoreboard; Sanders is looking at the details, and he ain’t smiling.
Lewis Dropped Dimes, But Deion’s Eyes Are on the Clock
Listen, Julian Lewis was out there dealing. The kid was electric, racking up five touchdowns in the first half alone. He even set a program record with four passing touchdowns in that first half! We’re talking about a historic performance for the Buffaloes, a truly dominant showing to kick things off. That’s the kind of play that makes you jump out of your seat and scream, “Let’s GO!” You’d think that kind of production would make any coach happy, right? Not Coach Prime.
The Numbers Tell a Deeper Story, and Deion Sees It
While the final score was a hefty 52-21 in Colorado’s favor, Sanders pointed out the cold, hard truth: they were held to just 10 points in the final two quarters. That’s where the “not satisfied” comes from. “We didn’t capitalize on offense. We only scored 52 points… There’s no way we are satisfied with the outcome,” Sanders told Oliver Hayes of the Buff Stampede. He felt his team “letting up on offense” was a “lack of not being there before.” It’s clear as day: Coach Prime’s standards are sky-high, and he expects his team to play a full 60 minutes, no matter the score. He’s happy with Lewis, no doubt, but the overall team execution? Not so much.
This kind of mentality, where 52 points isn’t enough, tells you everything you need to know about where this program is headed. Sanders isn’t just looking for wins; he’s looking for perfection.
