Colorado is now 4-6 on the season following the win. The Buffaloes have now doubled their conference win total from the 2025 season. Colorado is now 2-5 in the Big 12 this season.

The win for the Buffaloes keeps alive their hope to reach a bowl game this year. Colorado has to win out, in order to finish the year with six victories and bowl eligibility.

Following the game, Colorado's head coach also issued a message about his team.

“These kids are resilient,” Deion Sanders said, per the Associated Press. “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.”

This is Sanders' fourth season leading Colorado. He has posted two losing campaigns in his first three years. Sanders is seen as sitting on a hot seat, by many analysts. This win certainly helps to relieve some of the pressure on him.

“I still expect a lot more from us,” Sanders said. “We’ve been capable of this all season long, but we just hadn’t put it together.”

The Colorado football team has games remaining this season against Cincinnati and UCF. Time will tell if Sanders is able to get this squad to a bowl.

The Buffaloes next play Cincinnati on November 21. Colorado has now won two of their last three contests.
