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.
"We only scored 52 points," Sanders said. "It should've been a lot more. We're not satisfied with the outcome."

The Colorado Buffaloes entered Saturday needing a more confident passing game after a tight opening win at Georgia Tech, and Julian Lewis supplied it before Weber State even had time to settle into the afternoon at Folsom Field.
On Colorado's first offensive snap, Lewis hit DeAndre Moore Jr. for a 66-yard touchdown. A few minutes later, Lewis found Joseph Williams for a 63-yard score, and Colorado had already put Weber State in a position where it needed to chase the game.
From my seat, the biggest development was how quickly Lewis played. The Buffs came out attacking downfield, trusting Lewis to make the reads and allowing the receivers to use their speed against Weber State's coverage.
Colorado's 52-21 win moved the Buffs to 2-0 for the first time since 2023. Lewis completed 17 of 23 passes for a career-high 366 yards, four touchdown passes and no interceptions. He added a 3-yard rushing touchdown before halftime, accounting for five scores before leaving the game with 5:50 remaining in the third quarter.
The 52-point afternoon came with a few defensive concerns, particularly in the secondary, but Colorado showed far more life offensively than it did a week ago. Lewis played like a quarterback who could give this team an explosive passing game, while Micah Welch ended one of the program's longest rushing droughts.

MCALESTER — McAlester scored two touchdowns in the final seven minutes, including the game-winner with 3:02 remaining, to rally past Ada 47-40 in a wild finish to the annual rivalry game Friday night.
The Cougars, who piled up well over 500 yards of total offense, scored with 8:23 left to take a 40-33 lead. But the Buffaloes answered with a 54-yard touchdown pass at the 7:32 mark to knot the score at 40-40.
McAlester then marched 75 yards in six plays for the winning touchdown.
Ada will enter district play at 0-3, while the Buffaloes improved to 1-2.
It was the third-highest scoring game in the long series between the two rivals.

Scottsdale Saguaro first-year coach Butch Goncharoff insists the football season is not going to be canceled, but, for the second week in a row, the roster is so depleted with injuries that the Sabercats have canceled their upcoming game.
They were scheduled to play ALA Queen Creek on Sept. 10, but on the morning of Sept. 7, Saguaro notified Patriots head coach Rich Edwards that the Sabercats had to cancel the game.
Last week, Saguaro canceled its game against rival Scottsdale Chaparral due to a safety issue with too many players banged up from the season-opening 62-0 loss to Scottsdale Desert Mountain.
Chaparral, a 5A team, was able to replace Saguaro with 4A Tempe and beat the Buffaloes 57-0 as a running clock started late in the second quarter. Tempe accepted the game after Phoenix Carl Hayden canceled its game with the Buffaloes.
"With the game being a short week, Thursday, it was still going to be hard to get enough players back," Goncharoff said in a text message. "But we are not canceling the season."

The Colorado Buffaloes opened the 2026 college football season with an impressive upset victory over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Thursday night.
After falling behind 13-7 with fewer than two minutes left on the clock in the fourth quarter, Buffaloes quarterback Julian Lewis led his team on an eight play, 75-yard touchdown drive to give Colorado a 14-13 lead. The defense came up equally as clutch, blocking a last-second field goal attempt as Deion Sanders' team escaped with victory.
Sanders, meanwhile, remains one of the most polarizing personalities in the game of college football.

The Colorado Buffaloes got the ending they needed Thursday night, even if the route to it was about as uncomfortable as any season opener can get.
Julian Lewis found Charlie Williams on a 20-yard touchdown pass with 37 seconds left, then Colorado's field-goal block by defensive back Boo Carter closed the door at the horn for a 14-13 win over Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The Buffaloes were out of timeouts and down six points when they started the final possession at their own 25-yard line, which made the finish feel larger than a typical Week 1 play.
Lewis had not found much consistency through the air before that drive. Colorado had dropped passes, missed downfield opportunities and left yards on the field during a first half in which both teams struggled with the humid conditions. The freshman quarterback had a rough sequence late in the second quarter, losing his grip on the football before recovering it and taking a 15-yard sack. Colorado followed with three incompletions before punting to close the half.
Georgia Tech held a 10-7 lead at that point, and the game never settled into a normal rhythm after halftime. Colorado's rushing attack gave the Buffs control of the ball, but Georgia Tech stayed close because Colorado could not finish possessions.
When Georgia Tech's Aidan Birr hit a 29-yard field goal with 1:40 remaining, Colorado had one last chance and Lewis took it.

Colorado freshman quarterback Julian Lewis hit tight end Charlie Williams for a 20-yard touchdown with 42 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, lifting the Buffaloes to a last-minute, 14-13 win against Georgia Tech on Thursday night in the season opener.
Georgia Tech looked like it could pull off the improbable when quarterback Alberto Mendoza found receiver Dalen Penson for a 42-yard gain, putting the Yellow Jackets in field goal range. But Boo Carter blocked Aidan Birr's 45-yard attempt, and the Buffaloes stormed the field.

For 58 minutes, Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis didn't look ready for Prime -- Coach Deion Sanders -- or prime time.
Good thing for the Carrolton, GA, five-star player the game against Georgia Tech on Thursday was 60 minutes.
Lewis, who had thrown for 64 yards until the final drive, passed for 60 on the Buffaloes' final march. It concluded with 37 seconds left when he found Charlie Williams for a wheel route that went 20 yards and into the end zone.
The PAT gave the Buffaloes a 14-13 lead and they held on by blocking a last-gasp 45-yard field goal by the Yellow Jackets' Aidan Burr.
Georgia Tech started its last drive on the 25 and the first play saw Alberto Mendoza -- yes, he is Heisman winner Fernando's brother -- for 42 yards.

The Colorado Buffaloes and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will meet for only the second time Thursday night. However, their shared football history reaches much deeper than last season's opener at Folsom Field.
The Yellow Jackets won the 2025 matchup, 27-20, after quarterback Haynes King rushed for 156 yards and three touchdowns. His 45-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter snapped a 20-20 tie and gave Georgia Tech a 1-0 lead in the series.
Tonight's rematch at Bobby Dodd Stadium brings Colorado back to Atlanta for a game loaded with new players, but one old argument remains close by: the 1990 national championship.
Colorado and Georgia Tech did not play in 1990, yet both programs still claim a share of that season's national championship.
Bill McCartney's Colorado team finished 11-1-1, survived the famous "Fifth Down" game at Missouri and defeated Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl. The Buffaloes finished No. 1 in the AP Poll, earning the program's first national ****** le.

Colorado QB depth chart: Can Julian Lewis, Zach Wilson's brother end post-Shedeur struggles? originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
When Colorado won nine games in 2024, its most in a season since 2016 and its first bowl-game appearance since 2020, it wasn't just because of two-way star Travis Hunter. Elite quarterback play guided the Buffaloes' offense.
While Shedeur Sanders' NFL career has been rocky thus far, he was undoubtedly one of the best passers in the country throughout his final season in Boulder, completing 74% of his passes for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns. Since then, however, Deion Sanders hasn't found stability at the quarterback position.
Colorado won just four games in 2025 as starting quarterback Kaidon Salter threw seven interceptions. With Salter now gone, however, Sanders has some intriguing passers around for 2026, led by a former top recruit.
Here's a look at Colorado's new quarterback room entering the 2026 season.

Deion Sanders' buyout details: Here's how much it will cost Colorado to fire head coach originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
By all accounts, Colorado coach Deion Sanders is entering 2026 in a much better position than 2025.
Sanders battled health issues, including bladder cancer, throughout the 2025 offseason, and he went into the year with an unsettled quarterback situation for the first time in his tenure with the Buffaloes. The results were predictable: a regression to 3-9, putting Colorado near the bottom of the Big 12.
With those health issues improved and the hope that Julian Lewis is ready to take the next step at quarterback, Sanders is facing a critical season to get Colorado back on track. If not, his job status could come into question.
Here's a look at Sanders' buyout and what it would cost Colorado to fire him in 2026.

Deion Sanders begins Year 4 at Colorado in the city where he became a legend, as the Buffaloes face Georgia Tech in Atlanta on Thursday.
Sanders played for the Falcons and Braves in the early 1990s, a rare two-sport star in the pros, and remains an iconic figure in Atlanta sports history. Though his legacy could earn him a warm welcome at Bobby Dodd Stadium, that nostalgia won't do much for the Buffs as they try to bounce back from a 3-9 season.
Second-year quarterback Julian Lewis, who starred down the road at Carrollton High School, will lead a Colorado offense that loaded up with transfers in the offseason. That includes receivers Kam Perry (Miami Ohio), DeAndre Moore Jr. (Texas) and Danny Scudero (San Jose State), who are among 43 transfers on the roster.
Speaking of transfers, the Yellow Jackets will roll out a high-profile pair in QB Alberto Mendoza, late of Indiana and brother of the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner, and former Michigan and Alabama running back Justice Haynes, who grew up in suburban Atlanta. Whatever happens there, things figure to look quite a bit different for Tech after Haynes King held down the QB position the last three years.

Colorado football predictions 2026: Projecting Deion Sanders' make-or-break season in Year 3 originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
For Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes, 2026 is a crucial year. Although Sanders arrived in Boulder with a 19-2 record across three seasons at Jackson State, his tenure at Colorado has gone poorly.
Through three seasons, he has a 16-21 record, including a 3-9 finish last year and a 1-8 record in the Big 12. He went 4-8 in his first season in 2023. His lone successful year was a 9-4 finish in 2024, when Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter both had career-best seasons.
As Sanders enters his fourth season, he will be coaching to keep his job at Colorado in 2026. Let's take a look at each game on the Buffs' schedule to try to predict just how this season will go for Sanders and company.

The Oklahoma Sooners kick off their 2026 college football season on Friday against the University of Texas at El Paso Miners. This will mark the first step of Oklahoma's pursuit of a return to the College Football Playoff.
This season will feature some players who are expected to have an enhanced role compared to last year. One of those is second-year safety Omarion Robinson. The former four-star appeared in nine games last year, totaling just three tackles. He mainly played on special teams. This year, he's listed as the backup to Peyton Bowen and Michael Boganowski at both safety spots.
Head coach Brent Venables revealed at his game week press conference that he can already see Robinson playing with more confidence.
"I see him playing with a different level of confidence than he did a year ago," Venables said. "Just on a different planet from that standpoint. And again, the consistency thing is what jumps out the most. He's earned a lot of trust. The more he plays, the better he gets."
That trust could be especially important for Robinson as Oklahoma looks to maintain the strength of it secondary. The Sooners lost Robert Spears-Jennings to the NFL draft and Jaydan Hardy to the Colorado Buffaloes, creating opportunities for younger safeties behind Bowen and Boganowski.

The Baltimore Ravens drafted LaJohntay Wester because they were fans of what he could do with the ball in his hands. A skilled returner and 2023 First-Team All-American, he landed on Eric DeCosta's radar, resulting in the former Colorado Buffaloes star's 2025 sixth-round selection.
He stacked 198 yards on 16 punt returns and another 246 on ten kick returns. It's now year two, and throughout training camp and the preseason, he has shown he may offer much more than just explosive special teams play. Head coach Jesse Minter recently went as far as to praise him publicly.
Three preseason games are in the rearview mirror. Every week brought another sign that Wester was climbing the organizational ladder. More opportunities followed. More praise arrived. More importantly, more production and trust were earned.
That trust was no longer subtle. Wester's stock is rising. He capped Baltimore's 41-3 preseason finale victory over the Washington Commanders with a touchdown reception, continuing a summer that has steadily strengthened his case for a meaningful role heading into the regular season.
Speaking with the media after Friday night's win, head coach Jesse Minter again tipped his cap to Wester, highlighting the progress Wester has made since arriving in Baltimore.

Will the Colorado Buffaloes be on the field today in Week 0 of the college football season?
Unfortunately for Buff Nation, they will have to wait a few more days before Colorado's season kicks off. CU begins its 2026 season on Thursday, Sept. 3, in Atlanta against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Colorado will unveil a nearly entirely refreshed starting lineup, which could include a new starter at every defensive position. Aside from the roster itself, Deion Sanders revamped his coaching staff with two new coordinators, highlighted by Go-Go offense inventor Brennan Marion, a former head coach at Sacramento State.
Marion and his defensive counterpart, Chris Marve, are true leaders, which has been evident throughout fall camp. Both have set their unit's identity heading into Week 1 against Georgia Tech.
While it is a ******* mer that there is now Colorado football in Week 0, CU fans can tune into the opening weekend of college football stress-free.

The Colorado Buffaloes' linebacker core was completely revamped this offseason with Deion Sanders' staff adding three starting-caliber linebackers from the transfer portal. All three have had impressive fall camps, with two making the Butkus Award watch list and the other, Tyler Martinez, recently named to the Hispanic College Football Player of the Year watch list.
Martinez, a New Mexico State transfer, missed most of the 2025 season with an injury, but in the four games he played, he totaled 27 total tackles, four pass breakups, one tackle for loss, one interception and a forced fumble. He showed impressive playmaking ability in limited action, and Colorado hopes he can find that form in 2026.
The award was established only in 2025, with the founding of the Hispanic Football Hall of Fame. The inaugural recipient was Indiana's Fernando Mendoza.
Other players to make the preseason watch list include Mendoza's brother Alberto, who the Buffaloes are likely to face as Georgia Tech's presumptive starting quarterback. Penn State linebacker Tony Rojas and Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr. are other stars on the list.
"Hispanic athletes are driving the future of college football, and this watchlist ensures their extraordinary achievements get the national spotlight they've earned," said Ron Rivera, HFHOF founding member and former NFL coach, via a press release. "Their stories bring great pride to our community."

HUGO – McAlester softball snapped its losing streak with a big 17-0 run rule win over Hugo Tuesday.
During their streak, the Lady Buffaloes (4-5) dropped games to strong teams like Byng, Tahlequah, Shawnee and Durant. But they shook off the rust Tuesday in the win over Hugo.
The McAlester bats came alive on the road, recording 16 hits and 13 RBIs. Carsyn Sutterfield went 3-for-4 and Emerson Hollis went 3-for-3 at the plate to lead the Lady Buffaloes.
Sam Shafer struck out four and walked none during her four innings in the circle.
The win could prove to be a launching pad for the McAlester festival.

The Colorado Buffaloes were dealt a major blow Monday when a Boulder county court denied defensive tackle Ezra Christensen's motion for a preliminary injunction, which would have granted him eligibility for the 2026 season.
Christensen's legal battle was a drawn-out process that included multiple waivers and ultimately a failed injunction. According to the denial's legal documents, Christensen's case did not meet all of the six factors the court used in deciding on the injunction.
Christensen's attorney, Darren Heitner, posted on social media confirming the denial and that his team is looking into filing an emergency motion for reconsideration. Even if that step is taken, there is no guarantee that his original motion will pass.
It's official, Ezra's case has been denied and the written motion online is accurate. Here is his lawyer saying their next steps!

The documents are found in the tweet attached to this! https://t.co/OKH877TNaa
For now, Christensen is left in a difficult spot with no good options left at his disposal, and most NFL opportunities are closed off until next year.

The attorney for Colorado football coach Deion Sanders filed a document in court Aug. 20 that said Sanders would face an undue burden if he is required to testify at his son Shilo's looming bankruptcy trial in Denver while Sanders' team prepares for its season opener at Georgia Tech on Sept. 3.
Sanders' attorney, Harvey Steinberg, also said he hasn't accepted service of a subpoena for Sanders to testify, contrary to court documents filed Aug. 19 by the attorney for the plaintiff in the case, John Darjean.
In his motion to quash the subpoena filed Aug. 20, Steinberg appears to be going all out in his effort to prevent Deion Sanders from testifying in the trial as his son tries to discharge more than $11 million in debt. The trial is expected to last up to five days, conflicting with the travel schedule of Sanders' team, which is leaving for Atlanta on Sept. 1.
"Mr. Sanders is the head coach for the University of Colorado football organization," the motion to quash states. "The CU Buffaloes' first game of the season is set to occur on September 3, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia. Thus, Mr. Sanders' job obligations require him to continue working with the University, staff, and players to both prepare the team for its September 3 game and to travel with the team to Georgia.
"Common sense dictates that Mr. Sanders' absence from sitting outside the courtroom to await potential testimony will cause him significant and undue personal and professional burdens, and that such a requirement will also significantly impact the CU Buffaloes' preparation for their season opener."

Kansas City Chiefs offensive line coach Andy Heck spoke with reporters after practice on Wednesday at Missouri Western State University. He praised undrafted free agent rookie offensive lineman Kahlil Benson's development at training camp, noting he has quickly become a trusted member of the unit.
"I think you're right. It's a great story, and our scouts did a great job bringing him in. Right away, you could see in our rookie minicamp that he had dominant physical traits," said Heck. "So, we're doing our best to train him at a couple of positions, give him an opportunity to grow, learn our system, learn a couple of positions. He's done a great job; he's working his tail off."
The recent injury to Pro Bowl guard Trey Smith has opened the door for Benson to see more time in his place during the preseason. Heck is using Smith's recovery as an opportunity to see Benson's potential aside from the tackle position.
"Absolutely, the number one benefit is for him, as a tackle primarily, probably his best position, he's a guy that will only add to his value if he can play guard." said Heck, "So, with Trey (Smith) missing some time, that's a great opportunity to give a guy some training for those days that, hey, I may want to (or) need to plug him in there to find our best combination. So, it only benefits him."
Benson wasn't selected in the 2026 NFL Draft but was a member of the Indiana Hoosiers' 2025 CFP National Championship roster. He saw action in 49 games in college, splitting stints at Indiana (2022-2023, 2025) and with the Colorado Buffaloes (2024).

A deputy with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office showed up at the University of Colorado campus last week to serve civil papers to Deion Sanders while the coach was at an open practice and inaccessible.
The officer was informed that the Buffaloes coach was "unavailable at the time to receive receipt of the papers," a spokesperson with the sheriff's office said Wednesday. Sanders is being subpoenaed to testify as part of a bankruptcy trial involving his son, Shilo, that begins on Aug. 31, according to USA Today.
The Colorado athletic department had no additional information. The Buffaloes open the season on Sept. 3 at Georgia Tech.
The deputy arrived on campus at 10:22 a.m. on Aug. 11 with civil papers. It was the day the Buffaloes held an open practice with specific rules in place that nothing observed could be reported, published or shared.
Carrie Haverfield, a senior communications specialist for the sheriff's office, wrote in an email to The **** ociated Press that it's not uncommon for civil papers to take several attempts to serve.

As Hall of Famer Deion Sanders prepares for his fourth season as the head coach at Colorado, the Buffaloes are stumbling and ****** bling as a TV attraction.
Via Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports, the ratings for Colorado games on ESPN fell 67 percent from 2023 to 2025.
It's no surprise. In 2023, Deion was the next big thing in college football — even as a 3-0 start melted to a 4-8 finish. In 2024, the Buffaloes turned it around, going 9-3 in the regular season. (The Buffaloes lost to BYU, 36-14, in their bowl game.)
Last year, without Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, the backslide began. The Buffaloes went 3-9, capping the season with a five-game losing streak.
It's no surprise. Colorado hasn't parlayed the Coach Prime effect into the kind of recruits that can win more games than they lose. This year, the program is fighting a narrative that the players look too small.
