Colorado's trip to Houston didn't go as planned Friday night. Deion Sanders's group was defeated by the Cougars 36–20 for their second loss of the early season after their first win over Delaware last week.
The Buffaloes made the game interesting just before halftime thanks to a touchdown powered by new starting quarterback Ryan Staub, but they were unable to keep up in the second half as Houston scored 17 unanswered points. Coach Prime wasn't thrilled in the locker room after the game and he let his team know it.
