CU Buffs dominated in Big 12 opener at Houston

The Colorado Buffaloes, led by Coach Deion Sanders, lost 36-20 to the Houston Cougars on Friday, Sept. 12, at TDECU Stadium in their Big 12 opener.
The loss followed a 1-2 start, benching senior Kaidon Salter for Ryan Staub at quarterback, as Colorado struggled offensively and defensively throughout the game.
Houston dominated the second half and controlled possession by over 13 minutes, while Colorado managed only 4-for-14 on third downs with zero conversions in the second half.
Coach Sanders expressed relief that he held back from saying everything on his mind and insisted that others do not need to be courteous with him, highlighting the team's urgent need for improvement across all areas.
This defeat ended Colorado’s College Football Playoff hopes, with the team preparing to host Wyoming on September 20 to attempt to rebound.
