In Pictures: Deion Sanders Jr. drops Colorado photo dump from Week 5 showdown against UCF
Deion Sanders Jr., Coach Prime’s son, shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos from Colorado’s Week 5 matchup against UCF Knights. On Sunday, Sanders Jr. posted images showing him carrying equipment on game day.
Despite Hurricane Helene moving past Florida, the game was still affected by bad weather. Colorado, however, powered through and secured a solid 48-21 win.
Sanders Jr., who runs the YouTube channel "WellOffForever," was busy capturing every moment of the game. Sporting a black T-shirt that read:
“The rejected will be respected.”
Sanders Jr. played a key role behind the scenes, chronicling the Buffs’ performance. Colorado’s success so far has been notable, matching last season's win total of four in just five games.
Deion Sanders said in a press conference:
“We’re 4-1 going into the break, and I’m so excited, you have no idea,” Deion Sanders said [H/t USA Today]. “It’s gonna be a really good plane ride tonight.”
The Buffs kicked off the season with a win against North Dakota State before a tough loss to Nebraska. Since then, they’ve bounced back with victories over Colorado State and Baylor.
Despite the loss to Nebraska in Week 2, Sanders Jr. acknowledged on social media that the team didn’t deserve AP Poll votes at that point.
Deion Sanders Jr. claps back at ESPN's Paul Finebaum over Colorado comments
Deion Sanders Jr. took aim at ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum after his latest remarks on the Colorado program. Finebaum, who has been openly critical of Coach Prime and his team, seems to be shifting his stance.
Finebaum admitted on "The Matt Barrie Show" this past Sunday:
"They went someplace I thought would be incredibly difficult, and they won in dominating fashion," Finebaum said [H/t Star Local Media]. "As someone who has been very critical of Deion Sanders, I have to say he has managed this team quite well in spite of all the bullets, all the attacks, and all the criticism — some of it coming from me.
“I give him enormous credit. I don't think many people thought this was possible, outside of a group of sycophants in Boulder."
Deion Sanders Jr. wasn’t too happy with Finebaum choosing the word "managed" instead of "coached." Sanders Jr. wrote on his Well Off Forever account:
"You know bro had to throw a lil shade in there with 'managed' instead of 'coached'"
Colorado Buffaloes is set for another big challenge next week against No. 20 Kansas State—a game that could be key in shaping the Big 12 standings.
