ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith Eviscerates Colorado for Collapse vs. Stanford

ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith delivered a fuming rant about Colorado’s  embarrassing 46-43 overtime loss to Stanford after the Buffaloes held a 29-point lead at halftime of Friday’s Pac-12 battle.

Stanford, who entered the game against Colorado as a 13-point underdog, outscored Colorado 36-7 in the second half and handed Deion Sanders’s squad its third loss in four games. The Buffaloes recorded their biggest blown lead in program history.

In Monday’s edition of ESPN’s First Take, Smith slammed Colorado for the loss, calling it an “absolute disgrace” and “unacceptable” given that their coach is among the all-time list of greatest football players and athletes.
