Last season, Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes were the talk of the college football world for the first few weeks of the season as they defied expectations with a 3-0 start to the season after a lot of media attention throughout the offseason. But they quickly fell off after losing eight of their last nine games. And Sanders reflected on that a little bit during a recent interview.
During a recent appearance on The Joel Klatt Show, Deion Sanders made it clear that he was not surprised by all the attention that the team received last season. But what he was surprised about was that the team was not able to sustain its success and keep that attention throughout the season.
“The surprise was not being able to sustain the continuation of the feeling of those moments that we not only gave ourselves, but we gave the multitude around college football,” Sanders said according to On3. “… I think like that. We think like that. The staff thinks like that. Usually, I wear this shirt that says ‘I believe.’ We really do. We say it in the book, ‘you’re either a belief or a believer.’ I just happen to be a believer.”
Obviously, the team will now have a chance to live up to Sanders’ lofty expectations this year.
