Colorado absolutely stomped Weber State 52-21 on Saturday, notching a dominant 31-point victory and pushing their perfect record to 2-0. You’d think head coach Deion Sanders would be celebrating big, right? Nope. He walked into that media room focused on what *didn’t* happen, the points they left sitting out on the field, and a whole heap of mistakes.
“We Left Points On The Field”: Prime’s Unhappy After A Rout
Winning by 31 points usually means high-fives and smiles all around, but not for Coach Prime. He wasn’t in the mood to celebrate that 52-21 win at Folsom Field because he saw more. He wasn’t shy about calling out the 13 penalties that plagued his team, the special teams mistakes that need fixing, and an offensive performance that he firmly believes has another, higher gear. For Sanders, a win isn’t just a win if you aren’t playing clean, dominating football, and leaving points out there? That’s just unacceptable.
Lewis And Welch Deliver, But The Message Is Still “Dominate”
It wasn’t all bad news for the Buffaloes, though. Quarterback Julian Lewis was slinging it, throwing for 366 yards and four touchdowns, even accounting for five total scores on the day. And check this out, running back Micah Welch exploded, becoming the first Colorado player to rush for 100 yards in a game since way back in 2022. Sanders did give props to these playmakers, no doubt. But the underlying message after this rout stayed rock solid: he’s determined to make the Buffaloes a team that doesn’t just win, but *dominates* every single snap.
This 2-0 start is great, but Sanders’ vision for Colorado is clearly way bigger than a 31-point win with mistakes. He’s pushing them to eliminate those 13 penalties and clean up the special teams. The focus is squarely on becoming that dominant force he expects.
