**Headline:** Shedeur Sanders Stays Positive About Colorado Buffaloes Following Season’s First Defeat
Former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders has voiced his unwavering confidence in his former team, even after their first loss of the season against Georgia Tech. The Buffaloes fell to the Yellow Jackets with a score of 27-20, as Haynes King orchestrated a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter, capped off by a 45-yard touchdown run with just over a minute remaining. Colorado was unable to respond with a game-tying touchdown in the closing moments.
This match marked the Buffaloes’ first game without Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, both of whom declared for the NFL Draft after last season. Despite their absence, Sanders believes the team will find its footing, especially under the leadership of his father, Deion Sanders, who serves as the head coach.
“They’ll figure things out. They have a great head coach,” Sanders stated on social media platform X.
Deion Sanders has not coached without his son during his collegiate career, having previously worked with him at Jackson State before moving to Colorado. This season, “Coach Prime” appointed Kaidon Salter as the starting quarterback. In the recent loss, Salter recorded 159 passing yards and threw a touchdown pass to Dekalon Taylor.
Sanders remains optimistic about the team’s prospects, asserting, “We could’ve won the game. It’s not like we had our butts kicked. They ran the heck out of the ball. If we take advantage of the opportunities, I have a whole different mood up here right now.”
As the Buffaloes look to regroup, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the team adapts and progresses in the coming games.
