You have to credit Deion Sanders and his Colorado team for continuing to fight down the stretch despite all hope being lost weeks ago. But in the end, their fight was never enough this season. Too many missed opportunities on offense and a run defense that was gashed week after week were too much to overcome.
Colorado's 24-14 loss to Kansas State on Saturday was its fight straight loss to end the season, and its seventh loss in the last eight games. The Buffs finished Coach Prime's third season in Boulder at 3-8, with a whole lot more questions than answers moving forward.
