Deion a 'proud guy' as 'resilient' Buffs take down No. 14 Houston
BOULDER, Colo. -- Colorado had its first victory over an AP top-15 team since 2007 in beating No. 14 Houston 42-32 on Friday night to slightly cool down the hot seat for Deion Sanders.
The last time the Buffaloes beat a team ranked that high was No. 3 Oklahoma on Sept. 29, 2007. The fans poured out of the stands to celebrate.
The Buffaloes (4-6, 2-5 Big 12) need to win out to become bowl-eligible and avoid a third losing campaign in Sanders' four seasons at Colorado. Sanders is 20-27 since taking over the program.
"These kids are resilient," Sanders said. "They have not stopped. They have not quit. They have not given up as well as the coaching staff. I'm really a proud guy right now."
