Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders dismissed concerns about his job security following a 20-10 loss to Arizona State. Despite a sixth defeat in seven games leaving the program (3-6, 1-5 Big 12) on the brink of a third losing season in four years, Sanders insisted he is focused solely on his players. "I don't think about that, man. I'm not here for my job," Sanders stated, emphasizing his commitment to the young men he coaches rather than his own position.
Arizona State built a 17-0 halftime lead, though Colorado fought back late. The Buffaloes managed only 103 total yards in the first half, with a 74-yard touchdown nullified by penalty. Colorado cut the deficit to 20-10 late, but a failed fourth-and-15 near midfield sealed the outcome.
Sanders remained candid about the program's struggles, stating, "The season doesn't look good." Colorado athletic director Fernando Lovo attended the news conference. The team faces No. 17 Houston in their final three games, though Sanders expressed little optimism about a late-season turnaround. "I'm not happy with the outcomes," Sanders admitted, "and I hate the fact that we're coming up on the short end of these games.".
