🚨 ABSOLUTE DISGRACE! 🚨 Stephen A. HITS OUT at Deion Sanders’ loss to Stanford! | First Take 

A 1-4 team who lost to Sacramento state came back from down 30 while scoring 46 in the second half. That is unheard of. 😂

CU has zero discipline. “when confidence is owned by a fool, it becomes liquor.. it causes intoxication.” They need to stay humble 💯

This is 100% on coach prime. If you watch the well off videos you see that the players walk around like superstars even after this loss. They don’t look pissed or hungry to prove doubters wrong the way they did in the first few games

Stephen A is telling them right. Undisciplined is an understatement. The team has believed in too much of their own hype. It was disgusting to watch. The team is not putting in the work.

💯 Truth, they haven’t proven themselves to move like they’ve been moving

They need this bye week to refocus. Go back to JSU days of not having cell phones on during games. Stop allowing celebrities in the locker room and on the field with players. Thats minor things that should stop first.

Stephen spitting big FACTS!!!

Its the media fault hyping up a team that wasn't that good from the jump. Should be talking about the grat game between Oregon wnd Washington.

The coaches are supposed to calm them down and keep them focused, especially the head coach.

I think the disgrace is the premature focus the media put on them vs other teams choosing celebrity over talent🤷🏿‍♂️

I think the worst thing to happen to Colorado 2023 was not the loss to STANFORD, but the win over TCU. That's what caused the decoupling from reality for these children. It's on the coaching staff to right the ship, so far they've failed them.

I’m all for the Deion hype and want him to do well. Coaching lost that game…hands down.

Coach Prime stirred up his own team with the hype and shine. It came from him. You left out that part!!

I was at this game. To say that this loss was a HUUUUUUUGE disappointment is an understatement 😔

17 penalties sounds like coaching to me

That’s on Deion tho. He has the culture of let’s be cocky.

"The players got caught up in the shine their coach generated." So some of this falls on the coach for them not being ready? SAS finding any route to not hold Prime accountable like he would for any other coach.

Everything Shaduer does he probably learned from Deion. If he’s flashing his watch at halftime it’s probably because Deion is okay with it. Deion can’t be left off the hook here. That’s the culture he’s built. The only problem with a culture like that is there’s really no room for losing if all you want to do is brag about winning.

I been saying this: when it’s winning; people bandwagon; when it’s losing; people back stabbing 😂😂😂

As much as we praise coach prime when he wins he needs the same amount accountability when they loose stop protecting him he was a legendary player but we gotta see as what he is rn a coach just because of how legendary he is doesn’t mean he can’t be criticized

Very teachable moment. They finally came out strong from the beginning, then faded in the 2nd half. Too complacent, and very undisciplined. They can learn from it and if they dont we know Coach Prime will replace them for next season

The QB for Colorado was on twitter at halftime trying to sell jerseys!!

As a husker whose hatred for CU goes waaaay back long before Deion even thought about coaching, this loss did my heart good. BUT i will say this loss goes way beyond football, like these two gentlemen said, these kids let their egos get too big for their breeches

Wow. Who could have predicted that this team would have discipline issues? No one, right? Absolutely no one...

Imma say it…”Pride goes before the fall”….He who exalts himself will be humbled; he who is humbled, will be exalted!

Penalties=lack of discipline=Coaching/Program. It has always been that way. It is the coach's responsibility to instill discipline into the player/program. I love Prime but he's got to get these guys onboard with being a disciplined football team.

Undisciplined comes from poor coaching. In the NFL they want to blame the coaches but in college they dont want to do the same?

If the team is undisciplined, the coach(es) are undisciplined. “Someone’s got to say it”

I was saying all this after the Nebraska game. They not that good to be unbothered about other teams.

At the post match press conference, they asked Shedeur what did the coaches say during halftime, he said he doesn’t even remember because he was locked in! 🤣🤣🤣

I agree with SAS and SS. Travis Hunter needs to play CB full time and play offense in spot duty and possible run back kicks. Everybody on this team needs to get back to the basics. Practice hard and play hard for 60 minutes. They need to implement a business trip mentality. Every game for the whole game it's a business trip! Hardwork beats talent when talent don't work hard!

With that said a lot of teams are 7-8 dawgs away from being a great team. Enough with the excuses and the jive time.

It all starts with Coach Prime. He put the target on that team’s back with all the hype and cockiness to go with it. Discipline went right out of the window the minute they started show boating and ish talking opponents before games. Shedeur needs to focus on stop taking so many hits and stop flashing his watch every week

Best take Stephen a had in a minute even tho ppl love to see Colorado lose they are in a better spot with Deion than than last year for sure

I love Prime but at the end off the day it is what it is Him and them coaches lost this game.. Played man to man the whole second half and got beat with one play.. Stanford keep running slants an them corners could not stop it... No adjustment where made by the defense SMH I was hurt to see my boy lose like that...

Colorado wins a 3 point double overtime game vs CSU as 21.5 point favorites, first take spends a full 25 minutes talking about Deion & Colorado. Colorado chokes a 29-0 lead at home to one of the worst teams in CFB & First take spends 3 minutes talking about it. Nahh I want y’all to break down every single aspect of the game like y’all were doing before 😂

so when they win Deion gets all the credit when they lose it's the players.

I agree with Stephen A. Coach Prime has always been focused. He never overcelebrated, he always knew there was more work left to be done. The players have to wake up right now and understand that flinging their bling is not reality.

crazy how people flip so quickly. Few weeks ago if you shared this sentiment they said it was hating on black excellence 😂😂 No, they’ve just always been on a social media high horse acting like they’re something they aren’t 😂

No one ever acknowledges the Colorado coaching errors and just blame the players, I really don’t get it.

Let's not forget that Stephen A contributed heavily to the hype. First Take went on the road and broadcast the show live from CU campus.

I was concerned about the amount of celebrities rolling through Boulder for clout/kiss Deion’s ring. It definitely got into those kids heads that they were the kings on the mountain. Coach Sanders deserves a full season before getting a serious evaluation. But stuff like this can’t happen again.

That fan in the stands you can tell bet the house on Colorado to win….

Why can they not blame "Prime". This is on him. They are undisciplined cause of him, they believe the hype cause of him, etc. He did this with all the bravado expecting them to be like him. He is the outlier and he needs to get back to reality with his players. It is his fault they are like that.

This was a joke from the time Deion went to Colorado to meet the old team walking in playing Tupac songs to fire them. Then proceeded to sell false expectations of what was to come. " WE COMIN' "!

This team and Deion will get critique more than any team and coach it’s only his first season imagine once everything comes together in a few years y’all are going to be mad

People say Colorado can't run... I saw 3 to 4 yards a carry.... They are honestly stat padding Shedeur and giving the illusion that they can't run. Watch closely... only the rpo runs struggle... the designed runs look good enough to get you a 1st or good 3rd down situation

When you're paying them already, they will have no passion

The biggest problem with that team is deion. Hes 1st ballot gold jacket, might be best DB ever. He can act that way he can be primetime and act how he wants. The kids follow his lead but deion and the kids dont understand they arent him

i told my friend at work who only started watching college ball because of prime's move to colorado that i dont ever want to see him wearing colorado gear again in my life after this game.

No adjustments in the second half from Coach Prime. This lose is on him!

It takes character to comeback from 29-0..it also takes character to win a game when leading 29-0. One team had more character than the other..Colorado will learn and get better from this

That was a bad bad loss… 🤦‍♂️

Compare the way these guys handled this to the way Undisputed handled it with kid gloves

Is it bad coaching on deion's end, or is it the player's? Any other time, people would blame the coach for poor play

The loss was the best thing that ever happened to Colorado. They love playing down to the talent. They love being undiscipline being ranked dead last with 69 penalties. The goal is always individual stats versus team win. There is no more Heisman talks to pat stats.

7-8 good players to be relevant, this team need 4 years to be ready.

Its another growing pain college football is notorious for huge comebacks happening the buffs just need to not take the foot off the gas

I feel like Shedeur holds the ball for to long, he just needs to throw it away

Nah this team isn't ready yet but dropping a 29-point lead from the 2nd half is more so against the coaches on so many levels it's ridiculous. Horrendous game management, poor offensive play emphasizing Sheudeur to create with his legs from the pocket instead of properly utilizing their running backs or mixing up run plays accordingly, and lackluster defensive schemes when pushed around are a problem and the coaches need to man up, and take ownership not the players.

If he needs 7 or 8 more dogs he basically is saying he needs a new team lol. Btw they refuse to blame deion for anything.

Great Point. Filming everything could be a huge reason for these loses. There's a reason why no team post videos of their practices. I'm suprised no one is talking about this.

Man what is that song at the end of the video. Joint was bumpin

Are people starting to wake up and see that while Prime Time was an all time great player, he is severely overrated as a coach? His team has been completely and utterly embarrassed twice now, 7 games into the season.

I don't want to hear about Colorado anymore.

I hope that that fan crying in the highlight reel has a reason like ' I bet $1000 on a blowout', cause honestly crying that your team blew a regular season 29 - 0 lead is just childish and I don't care if its Stanford

All the social media and mainstream media hype has got to them. It looks like deions son's care more about selling merchandise than the game now.

Undisciplined comes from a head coach telling his Kicker to dance on a measly game winning kick. You can’t then turn around and question their love for the game

It’s funny how the team is committing so many penalties but the HC gets a pass. If it was someone else they would have called for his head lol

More blame needs to be on Deion. Undisciplined team and having a player playing both ways the whole game are both issues with the COACHING

Great discussion. 👍

Why Shannon look like Randy Jackson 😂😂

Oh so Prime is NOT the coach of this team?? Prime was the guy who taught them all that bravado bs! Please, at some point the head coach must be held accountable.

Stephen A is just saying what everyone is thinking!

I went to bed at the top of the 3rd qtr it was 29-0 I couldn’t believe it the next morning when I found out they lost. I’m still in shock. Steven and Shannon are correct on their response.

This season is very similar to CP first season at JSU and the rest is history! 🎉

The first time I've thought SAS made a good point in a long time. CU players are acting like they made it already

You could say, they aren’t quite ready for… prime time…

I’ve been waiting on this Stephen 💯 👏🏽

All this talk about that hunter kid. He can't play that many snaps. That's coaching

Why out of all the great games this weekend all we talk about is a 4-3 team and one of the worst in the pac-12?

Its insane man blowing a 29 point lead is usually a nfl rigged stat line but in college i cant use the rigged thing lmao the buffaloes stunk out

Excellent take on both sides of the table!

Nobody wants to call out Deion but he has to take the blame.

29-0 is the new 28-3

Somebody had to say it

It's an easy win if they simply just RUN the ball some in the 2nd half and chew up that clock. But instead they always have to go fast paced with a passing offense to try and get "style points" and ESPN highlights. Not smart if you're trying to WIN football games.

This was Stanford Bowl Game there receivers came to play however at one point in the game they ran the same slant over and over agin. The Buffs DC could of made one adjustment like drop a linebacker in the slant lane especially if you know its coming.

This game truly was a disgrace.Just beyond disappointing 😟

Thank for this HARSH but HONEST critique of our team! Trust me it’s needed & someone needed to say it! Unfortunately, i am starting to think the Oregon Head Coach was right to a degree, about our team playing for “LIKES & VIEWS.” Because of COACH Prime we’ve all follow CU to be honest! WITHOUT PRIME NOBODIES WATCHING CU❗️There’s people currently riding with Prime that can’t HANDLE THE SPOTLIGHT. THE LIGHTS ARE TO BRIGHT FOR SOME OF THEM, & it’s showing up on the film. Coaches are costing the players games by not making in game adjustments. While players who talk a good game like their Deion but can’t/don’t play like Deion. AGAIN FILM DON’T LIE 🤥 The players need to look in the mirror & take more accountability.

BET awards on the sideline every weekend. They don’t deserve that.

exactly right, the team needs to get back to the fundementals and leave the social media antics alone for a while ✋😳🤚

IDGAF we wouldn’t even be TALKING about this team if it wasn’t for Deion. Keep grinding.

This may have been a good thing honestly, now teams will think they are easy and maybe they can get 2 more and become bowl eligible. They have a good group if DL coming in next season, hopefully they can secure the OL also

I don’t even know if it’s not having “dawgs.” That headline said “largest blown lead in school history” even with the 1-11 team. Prime needs to look at his coaches real good.

Discipline is the coaches fault and problem, i like how these two who are buddies with Primetime didnt blame him😂 great analysis...not!

🔥 take from SAS for once about Deion and his kids 😂😂😂😂

Deion Sanders earned the right to be " cocky" with hard work and results. CU team is cocky for no reason. Work hard and get results first

Good thing about this team, is they’re still going to attract recruits with the mental warfare of making a difference. And good recruits, but with that specific mentality.

Yeah they feeling they self too much but that's Deion's fault he's doing too much and that's rubbing off on them
