Everything Deion Sanders said after Colorado’s rout over Weber State

By admin — In News — September 13, 2026

   ​Colorado head coach Deion Sanders was not in the mood to celebrate a 31-point victory Saturday.The Buffaloes moved to 2-0 with a 52-21 win over Weber State at Folsom Field. Still, Sanders arrived in the media room focused on the points Colorado left on the field, 13 penalties, special teams mistakes and an offensive performance he felt had another level available.Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns while accounting for five total scores, and running back Micah Welch became the first Buff to rush for 100 yards in a game since 2022. Sanders praised the playmakers who contributed, though the consistent message after the rout remained the same: make the Buffaloes a team capable of winning and dominating.Here is everything Sanders said following Colorado football’s win over Weber State.On Colorado’s 52-point offensive output”We only scored 52 points,” Sanders said. “It should’ve been a lot more. We’re not satisfied with the outcome.”Sanders said the lack of domination in the second half stemmed from a “lack of not being there before,” explaining that Colorado’s players at times eased off the gas after building a sizable lead.Sanders said Colorado’s players want to “kick butt” and show they can compete at a high level with consistency. He described the result as a performance containing too much “nonsense” across offense, defense and special teams.”We didn’t capitalize on offense. We only scored 52 points,” Sanders continued. “There’s no way we are satisfied with the outcome.”Colorado gained 578 yards and averaged 7.9 yards per play, yet the Buffs also lost two fumbles, missed a field goal after a bad snap, and had a 73-yard touchdown run by Titus Bautista wiped out by a holding penalty.On Colorado’s penalty issuesSanders said Colorado’s 13 penalties were unacceptable, especially for a program with larger goals.”We can’t win consistently with those types of penalties,” Sanders said. “They don’t make sense.”Colorado’s penalties came at inconvenient times, including the holding call that erased Bautista’s long touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Sanders expressed clear frustration with that particular call, although his larger point focused on Colorado’s inability to avoid preventable mistakes.”We’re trying to win a championship,” Sanders said. “We’re not just trying to win a game.”That standard shaped much of Sanders’ postgame tone. Colorado won comfortably, but the coach was measuring the performance against the discipline and consistency he believes will be required later in the season.”In my life, I’m a winner,” Sanders said. “We’re trying to win a championship. We’re not trying to win a game.”Coach Prime was not satisfied with Colorado’s offensive performance:“We only scored 52… Should’ve been a lot more.” pic.twitter.com/3S0HehQRxX— DNVR Buffs (@DNVR_Buffs) September 12, 2026On Julian Lewis and the offenseLewis completed 17 of 23 passes for 366 yards and four touchdowns, producing 212 passin
