To even get to Saturday's game, Deion Sanders had to overcome plenty of adversity. Sanders was literally standing on his last leg a week ago against BYU, coaching with one shoe, frequently sitting down, and looking uncomfortable. He revealed after the game that he thought he was dealing with more blood clots. Again.
Those fears were confirmed in a visit to the doctor on Monday. On Tuesday, Coach Prime underwent yet another surgery to combat the clots. He was back at practice the very next day.
There's been plenty outside of Boulder who have questioned whether Sanders was long for the Colorado job, particularly with Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders moving on.
