"Got PTSD recording this": Deion Sanders Jr. delivers honest reaction to Coach Prime lashing out at Colorado players during Utah game
Deion Sanders is all business on the gridiron. The Colorado Buffaloes coach doesn't mince words when his players lack energy and enthusiasm for the game of football. During Colorado's last game against the Utah Utes at Folsom Field, Coach Prime didn't seem happy on some play, eliciting an angry reaction, followed by an F-bomb from one of his assistant coaches.
Founder of Well Off Media and Coach Prime's eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr., had an eye-catching response to his father's angry callout on his players. In a video uploaded on Coach Prime's Instagram account on Sunday, Deion can be heard saying:
"That's stupid, what are y'all going to get ready? What are y'all going to do on the third ball? They've been playing their butts off. What is wrong with y'all, man? When are you going to take it on yourself and do something with it? Let's move them third balls out of the field. Get back out there and do something."
It seems Deion Sanders wasn't happy with his offense for not converting third downs.
"Get your f**king hat across," an assistant coach said.
The post's caption read:
"Coach Prime Parenting Moment. This Feels like my childhood… He called a timeout just tell yell at them. He put that hand up and said come here, yelled, then told them get back out there - @deionsandersjr."
Reacting to the post, Deion Sanders Jr., aka "Bucky," commented:
"I got PTSD recording this."
Deion Sanders not happy with offense despite blowout win over Utah
The Colorado Buffaloes blew past the Utah Utes 49-24 in the Week 12 matchup. Thanks to Shedeur Sanders' elite-level quarterback play, which resulted in three touchdowns and one interception, Colorado's offense put together scores in each quarter.
However, the offense could only convert three of 11 third downs, something Deion Sanders wasn't too pleased about. Shedeur accepted his offense's shortcomings in the postgame conference.
“Those types of things can’t happen,” Shedeur Sanders said. “I’m gonna have a talk with the whole offense and apologize for my performance out there at the very beginning, because I can’t put the team in that type of situation. I’m thankful for the defense. I may have to take them out to dinner this week for saving me and saving the team.”
This is a concerning factor for Colorado, who in the previous matchup against Texas Tech could only convert two of 13 third-down plays.
Meanwhile, Colorado's defense was the real winner, contributing with three pass interceptions, one fumble recovery, nine tackles for losses and four sacks.
Colorado next plays Kansas, hoping to improve to 9-2 and push forward its case for making the Big 12 championship game and College Football Playoff.
