""Don't attack the coordinators. Come at me. Don't attack the players. Come at me," Sanders said. Sanders had no answers as to why the Buffs played so poorly again, insisting good practices had given no inkling another rout was forthcoming. He bristled when asked if his team had checked out: "I know a quitter when I see one. I haven't seen that.""
"Sanders added that he's confident he can coach Colorado back into winning ways, saying, "I don't doubt me. Let's get that straight: I. Don't. Doubt. Me." Buffaloes QB Kaidon Salter was benched late in the first half for Ryan Staub, who was also benched after both of his passes were intercepted in the third quarter. Freshman Ju-Ju Lewis came on and threw a 59-yard touchdown strike -- the first of his career -- to Omarion Miller. The pass also was 10 yards longer than the 49 yards passing that Salter managed while completing 11 of 15."
Colorado lost 52-17 to Arizona, falling to 3-6 overall and 1-5 in conference play. The Buffaloes trailed 38-7 at halftime after nine first-half penalties and finished with 14 penalties and five turnovers. Deion Sanders barred player interviews and accepted sole responsibility for the team's performance. Quarterback Kaidon Salter was benched late in the first half for Ryan Staub, who was later replaced after interceptions, with freshman Ju-Ju Lewis throwing a 59-yard touchdown to Omarion Miller before leaving with a hand injury. Two first-half penalties erased a touchdown and an interception. The team was outscored 81-7 in first halves over the past two games.
