Deion Sanders Dismisses Several Players in Wake of Colorado’s First Loss, Citing Pattern of Behavior
Sanders said the dismissals followed Colorado’s 41-7 loss, as the Buffaloes committed four turnovers and allowed 423 yards.
- On Tuesday, Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders revealed he dismissed "a few" players following the team's 41-7 loss to Northwestern last weekend, citing "conduct detrimental to the team."
- Explaining the decision, Sanders emphasized the dismissals stemmed from a pattern of behavior he failed to correct last year; players approached him Monday asking to be proactive about rooting out future problems.
- Buffs linebacker Tyler Martinez supported the move, stating, "if it's going to help us win, then we gotta do it," while safety Ben Finneseth apologized for disparaging Northwestern's stadium before the game.
- Colorado will debut a revised roster when the Buffaloes open Big 12 play against the Baylor Bears this Saturday, looking to recover after committing four turnovers and giving up 423 yards last week.
- Facing a pivotal matchup in Waco, the Buffaloes hope to avoid a 2-4 start to the season as Sanders faces pressure to improve upon a 3-9 finish in 2025 and difficult upcoming games against Texas Tech and Utah.
