Deion Sanders made it clear this week that Colorado’s early stumble against Georgia Tech came with a lesson his team could not avoid.
“You got to understand a lot of guys don’t understand the standard,” Sanders said. “You got Cam on the sideline, Jimmy, and some of the guys that played last year and they understand the standard. You should have heard those guys getting on the guys.”
For Sanders, that accountability marked a turning point. “That was good because it is a certain standard. It is a certain level that we have expectations and some may not understand that. The hype of it all is kind of intoxicating until you get out there and then you get, you know, you start reading those comments, you know, after the game. Now you understanding what we tried to tell you before the game. So, it is they understand now. I will put it like that. They get it.”

Sanders also pushed back on the idea that the most progress comes from Week One to Week Two, a coaching cliché repeated often this time of year.
“Saban? I never heard nobody say that,” Sanders said with a smile. “Saban said it this weekend, too. But Coach S ain’t coaching right now. He is the greatest of all time. He can say whatever he want to say. Whatever Coach Saban says, I’m with it.”
Colorado will look to regroup this week when they host Delaware on Saturday, September 6, at Folsom Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Mountain Time, and the game will air nationally on Fox.
