Can you believe it? Deion Sanders and Colorado just dropped their third game in a row, losing 29-7 at home to No. 10 Texas Tech. Man, after starting the 2026 season 2-0, this feels like a total gut punch. What a mess.
Halftime Lead Crumbles, Turnovers Galore
They were actually up 7-3 at halftime against Texas Tech, and you’re thinking, “Okay, maybe they can turn this around.” But then the Red Raiders just absolutely pulled away after intermission. It was brutal to watch, honestly. The Buffaloes had turnovers on four straight possessions, four! Think about that. And get this: Colorado scored on its opening drive of the game, then didn’t score again for the rest of the night. What happened to that early momentum? It just vanished.
Quarterback Questions and a Brutal Schedule Ahead
The quarterback situation for the Buffs? Isaac Wilson, brother of NFL quarterback Zach Wilson, got the start over Julian Lewis. And man, Wilson threw three interceptions on the night. Three! That season-opening win at Georgia Tech feels like a lifetime ago now, doesn’t it? It’s officially a fading memory. And it’s not getting any easier from here. Colorado has games against No. 13 Utah and No. 19 Oklahoma State coming up next. You gotta wonder if this 2-3 record could be staring down 2-5 real fast. If this current trend keeps up, it’s totally fair to ask whether Deion will even return for a fifth season in 2027.
It’s a tough stretch, and the pressure is absolutely on for Colorado. Will they somehow bounce back against Utah, or are we watching this whole thing completely fall apart? I’m stressing already just thinking about it.
