What Deion Sanders had to say following Colorado’s loss to UCLA
The Colorado Buffaloes offense hit a wall after their bye week against the UCLA Bruins on Saturday. UCLA got the 28-16 victory, and quarterback Shedeur Sanders was sacked seven times in another disappointing performance by the offensive line.
The Buffs have now lost four of the last five games as they try to fight for a bowl bid, and it’s only going to get tougher from here on out.
After the game, head coach Deion Sanders had plenty of things to say. The Buffs now face Oregon State in Boulder next Saturday in another tough game against a ranked team.
Here’s what Coach Prime said after the Buffs’ loss at the Rose Bowl:

OL CONCERNS
Coach Prime on the offensive line: “Overall we just don’t have the fight and the passion to do what we want to do. I’m a little biased because I’m his father but I think we have the best quarterback in the country. We gotta address [the protection] scheme wise.”

OFFENSIVE BALANCE
