Colorado head coach Deion Sanders had no issue with Folsom Field thinning out late in last week’s victory over Wyoming. In fact, he said it was a sign of dominance.
“I would love that to happen because when they’re leaving, what does that mean? Game’s out of hand. That means the game is over. They going to party. I’m cool with that,” Sanders said.
Behind quarterback Kaidon Salter, the Buffs seized control early. Salter threw for more than 300 yards and three touchdowns, adding over 80 yards on the ground with another score. By the time the fourth quarter arrived, Colorado had left no doubt and many fans began filing out.

Sanders did not view the early exits as disrespect. “You got to understand it was family weekend as well. So, a lot of the older family members probably said, ‘Okay, let’s go home, honey,’” he explained. “But we’re winning. That means we’re winning. That means we’re winning.”
The Buffs now shift their focus to Saturday night’s primetime showdown with BYU, a program Sanders praised as “physical and disciplined.” While the conversation this week has centered on consistency and momentum, the backdrop is clear. The last time these two teams met BYU rolled past Colorado 36 to 14 in the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio. It’s a reminder of why Sanders wants his team to put games away so early that the fans are already on their way to celebrate.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. MT. The game will air on ESPN.
