Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes advanced to 4-2 on the season this past weekend after defeating the Arizona State Sun Devils, 27-24, in Week 6.
It was a hard-fought win for the Buffs, which left Coach Prime unimpressed.
Following the game, Sanders sat down with the media to discuss his team’s performance and he did not hold back as he called out the “mediocrity” that has been on display in recent weeks.
“I apologize for my anger today, but I don’t expect mediocrity,” Sanders said after the game as transcribed by the New York Post. “Played like hot garbage. I’m trying to figure this out. Sick of it. I really am. I’m sick of us coming out here and putting forth the effort we put forth in the first half.
“I’m sorry with my impatience. I don’t have patience for too much in life. You ask my kids.
“I expect to win, and I expect to win in a better fashion than that. “I’m sick of these consistent holes that we’re displaying and the penalties and things that we’re doing. We’re so much better.”
Despite the lackluster performance, it was a much-needed win for Colorado after suffering back-to-back losses to Oregon and USC in the previous two weeks.
And for a team that was just 1-11 a year ago, it continues to mark a massive improvement.
Up next for the Buffs as they look to string together consecutive wins is a home meeting with the Stanford Cardinal under the Friday night lights.
Let’s hope they deliver more than mediocrity.
