Players from Colorado and TCU chirped at one another during warmups before Saturday’s matchup, with a number of Buffaloes mocking a TCU player for not seeing playing time (8:15 mark).
It was TCU that did the talking that mattered during the game itself, beating Colorado 35-21. The win moved the Horned Frogs to 4-1 on the season, while Colorado is now just 2-4.
“Truly disappointing,” head coach Deion Sanders told reporters after a game that saw them blow a 14-0 lead and commit four turnovers. “It’s one thing to lose. Then it’s another thing to feel like you beat yourselves. … We were beaten in Houston. These other games, we had opportunity, ample opportunity to win the games.”
It perhaps isn’t shocking that the Buffaloes are struggling, with former starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders, two-way star Travis Hunter and wideout Jimmy Horn Jr. now in the NFL.
It won’t get any easier this week, as Colorado hosts No. 22 Iowa State (5-1) on Saturday.
