Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders has always tried to set the standard. He also holds those around him accountable for their actions. So it's no surprise the way he verbally took down a screaming Georgia Tech fan after the Buffs pulled off an incredible 14-13 win to start the season.
Not everyone was happy with how Colorado took the game away from Georgia Tech. The yellow jackets lead up until the final minute. CU quarterback Julian Lewis found Charlie Williams for a 20-yard touchdown with 38 seconds left. Tech got within field goal range, but Boo Carter made the play of his career to block the try and seal the Buffs victory.
As you can imagine, emotions were running high because of how the game ended. This was the first time Georgia Tech sold out a home opener in 20 years. Needless to say, there would be a select group of people who would have been in their feelings over Sanders and the Buffs winning.
As Sanders walked off the field, one fan yelled, "F— you, Deion." He took a few steps back to address the person by saying, "God bless you" before walking into the tunnel with his son Shedeur Sanders.
Those who love Sanders for his charisma and upbeat personality found this enlightening. Coach Prime could have easily said something back that wouldn't have been NSFW. However, he took the high road and knew he was not going to win by getting down to this person's level.
For Colorado, this was a much-needed win over a quality opponent. It's not how you start, but how you finish. This was definitely the case for the Buffs. Lewis wasn't in shape during a few points during the game. Yet, he came through in the clutch when it mattered.
After ending the season on a low note with a 3-9 record, which included a five-game losing streak, Colorado felt like they had turned a corner in a few reasons. Brennan Marion's Go-Go offense focused on establishing a running game. This seemed like a foreign concept under Pat Shurmur, who took a pass-heavy approach with 73 percent of the play calls airing the ball out.
Not only could CU run the ball, they held tight on the other side to keep Georgia Tech under 100 yards on the ground.
With the Georgia Tech game now in the win column, Colorado can focus on Weber state as the only non-conference home game of the season. Kickoff from Folsom Field will be at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
