Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders needed only two words to sum up the biggest upset of his tenure in Boulder. Following Colorado's stunning 42-32 victory over the No. 14 Houston Cougars on Friday night at Folsom Field, Sanders hopped on X to share a photo of the final scoreboard glowing behind a sea of celebrating fans. His caption was simple: “But God!”
That short message echoed the fiery locker room speech Sanders delivered minutes earlier, telling his squad that critics tried to close the casket on their season before they refused to quit. After entering the night at 3-6 amid swirling hot-seat chatter, the Buffaloes (4-6, 2-5 Big 12) delivered the program's first win over an AP top-15 opponent since 2007 and kept their bowl hopes alive.
