Deion Sanders exudes optimism about Colorado's future, but the Buffaloes have a long way to go to match the hype surrounding their program.
College football’s Hollywood team came to Hollywood Saturday, where their effort was epitomized by a bit of bad theater. Late in the second quarter on a night that slowly chilled at the Rose Bowl, Colorado safety Shilo Sanders appeared to apply a textbook tackle that leveled UCLA’s Carsen Ryan. Yet as Sanders struck a pose on the Rose Bowl field and flexed, a yellow flag fell behind his feet. A replay eventually showed a helmet-to-helmet hit. Sanders was penalized for targeting.
Yet the Buffaloes could only turn the turnovers into two field goals, leading Sanders to deliver a halftime speech that he said could be summarized in one word. “Now,” he said. “Now.” Yet it was quickly, “Later,” as UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers began the second half by throwing two passes to wide-open receivers that covered 75 yards and resulted in a 26-yard touchdown toss to Moliki Matavao.
