In College Football, no lead is ever truly safe. This truth was exemplified in a particularly dramatic fashion for Colorado and their renowned head coach, Deion Sanders, on Friday night.
For the first half of the game, the Buffaloes displayed the dominance that had earned them the spotlight in college football. They surged to a commanding 29-0 lead against a fatigued Stanford team, appearing poised to secure a resounding victory, which would have marked a significant milestone in the Sanders era.

However, the Cardinal refused to surrender. Fueled by a career-defining performance by wide receiver Elic Ayomanor and a series of unfortunate mishaps by Colorado, Stanford orchestrated an unprecedented comeback, ultimately defeating the Buffaloes in double overtime with a score of 46-43.
Naturally, the internet was inundated with comments regarding the Buffaloes’ substantial loss.
Comparable to the Falcons’ infamous collapse, squandering a 28-3 lead to the Patriots in the Super Bowl, Deion and the Buffaloes endured a devastating defeat. Deion may want to lay low for a while because this loss is undeniably embarrassing.
Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that Deion’s presence continues to attract casual viewers to College Football, making a significant impact on the sport.
