Colorado lost its fifth straight game on Friday night, this time a 56–14 blowout at Washington State, dropping the Buffaloes to 4–7 on the year. That means that in Deion Sanders’s first season, Colorado cannot become bowl eligible despite starting the season 3–0.
Sanders isn’t used to this much losing, as he went 23–3 in two seasons at Jackson State following a Hall of Fame NFL career. After the loss to Washington State, Sanders admitted how difficult this losing streak has been for him.
“This is the toughest stretch of probably my life,” he told reporters.
