Deion Sanders’ best quotes following Colorado’s near-comeback win over USC

“His (Shedeur Sanders) nickname in my phone, as most of you that follow us know, is “Grown.” He’s very mature for his age. He’s very confident. He don’t flinch. He never gets flustered. He’s the most-sacked quarterback in college football and you couldn’t tell with how he carries himself.”

“He (Hankerson) ran the ball hard, he ran good. He’s been consistant every game. We try to let everyone touch it to see how they are going. We had maybe four of five tailbacks that touched the ball today. That’s a good thing because all of them want to play and they deserve to play. But Hankerson stood out, he hit it.”

“You gotta understand, you can only hold people accountable when you’re doing your job. You can’t go around here holding other people accountable if you’re not doing your job. So when these young men start doing their job and living up to the expecations we have for them, there are only a few guys on this team that you consistantly know what you’re going to get week in and week out.”

“No, the team I imagined having would play four solid quarters and be really physical and really tough and definitive and just make our mark, leave an impression on not only the opposing team, but the coaching staff as well as our fan base. That’s what we want to do. We are yet to have an identity.”

“We understand what’s coming. If you can’t see what’s coming with CU football, you’ve lost your mind. You’re just a flat out hater if you can’t see what’s going on and what’s going to transpire over the next several months. Somthing’s wrong with you.”
