Throughout his nine-month tenure, Colorado coach Deion Sanders has been subject to criticism—for everything from his calculating methods of roster management to his attire.
Saturday, it became open season on Sanders and his Buffaloes. After a dazzling three-week run of victories over a top-25 team and two rivals, Colorado crashed to Earth with a 42-6 loss at No. 10 Oregon.
Against a torrent of criticism, however, Sanders held firm. The Hall of Fame defensive back used his postgame presser to express in no uncertain terms his belief that better days are ahead.
