A Colorado Buffaloes call sheet, full of offensive plays, somehow got dropped and then found before their big loss to Texas Tech. Yeah, you heard that right. Coach Prime himself confirmed what the internet was buzzing about this week after a fan on a Texas Tech message board claimed to have found the Buffaloes’ game script at a bar in the team hotel the night before the game. While that fan held back on sharing photos, images still hit social media before kickoff, and get this, they actually seemed to match Colorado’s opening script. Wild, right?
Coach Prime’s Unbothered Take on the Leak
So, what did Deion Sanders say when pressed about this whole wild situation? He basically downplayed the whole thing! He asked if it was a “whole playbook” or just “a script of several plays,” adding that he doesn’t even think they “have a whole playbook,” just “a script week to week.” Then, in true Coach Prime fashion, he dropped the line: “I thought we scored the first drive, so what’s the purpose of the question? Why would we (look into that)? The game’s over.” He even added, “We probably know a lot more than you think we do. That happens sometimes. I’ve heard of that on the pro level as well as the collegiate level. But we scored on the first drive, so I guess it didn’t work.” Seriously, the guy was *not* worried. When pushed on the importance of an accidental leak, he just shut it down, saying, “I think if someone had left that, they left it, mistake. What are we going to do about it? It’s over. Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go.” He even brought up the idea of decoy scripts, a la Mike Leach famously leaving a fake playbook in the trash can before a Red River Rivalry game.
The Brutal Reality of Colorado’s Offensive Funk
Here’s the kicker though. Coach Prime *is* right, the Buffaloes *did* march 75 yards in nine plays and punched in a touchdown on their opening possession against Texas Tech. Sounds good, right? The problem is, folks, that was Colorado’s *only* score in a brutal 29-7 loss. That one glorious opening drive was it. The team has been mired in offensive disarray all season, and a leaked script, real or fake, clearly didn’t solve their scoring woes. It just highlights how tough things have been on that side of the ball.
Looking ahead, the Buffaloes are desperately trying to spark that offense. They’re going with Isaac Wilson, who transferred from Utah this offseason, as the starter this weekend against unbeaten and 11th-ranked Utah. Wilson started the campaign as a backup to Julian Lewis but impressed enough to get the nod. Can Wilson bring the juice and get this offense out of its funk against a tough opponent? We’ll be watching to see if they can put more than one scoring drive together this time.
