Colorado's identity
Last week, Deion Sanders made a statement to the public that his Colorado Buffaloes would never perform as poorly as they did in their previous game against Oregon. However, in their most recent game, the team struggled early on and fell behind by 27 points in the first half, seemingly proving Sanders wrong. Nevertheless, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Deion's son, persevered and emerged as a new star in the second half, leading the team to outscore USC 27-14. Despite their valiant efforts, the Colorado football team ultimately fell short against No. 6 Southern California, losing 48-41. Sanders expressed pride in his team's performance, but acknowledged that they are still searching for their true identity. The loss brings Colorado's record to 3-2, following a 3-0 start to the season and a crushing defeat against Oregon last week. The game against USC appeared to be a repeat of the previous week's performance, with the Buffs falling behind 34-7 late in the second quarter. However, the team showed signs of life in front of a national television audience and a sellout crowd at Folsom Field. Ultimately, USC quarterback Caleb Williams proved to be too much for Colorado, throwing four touchdown passes in the first half and finishing with six on 30-of-40 passing for 403 yards with one interception for the Trojans (5-0).Sanders stated that the aforementioned child is an exceptional athlete. Shedeur Sanders, his son, is also a talented quarterback who nearly led the Buffs to victory before a failed onside kick attempt in the final two minutes allowed USC to run out the clock. Shedeur Sanders found receiver Jimmy Horn in the middle of the field for a 16-yard touchdown pass with 1:43 remaining, which was the last Colorado touchdown. Shedeur Sanders stated that they needed to remain focused and not become complacent with the easy tasks.
