Top 10 Colorado memes cracking up the internet after Deion Sanders' Week 2 fumble against Nebraska
Colorado coach Deion Sanders was among the most talented players who once played in the NFL and MLB and is now coaching a team that went 1-11 in 2022. Since "Coach Prime" joined the Boulder-based school last year, it has become a favorable team to do the unexpected.
However, when the Buffaloes played their Week 2 game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday, they suffered a devastating 28-10 defeat. While the Buffs were struggling to score even a single point, Nebraska, led by quarterback Dylan Raiola, appeared a much stronger force, scoring 28 points in the first half.
Moreover, the Huskers limited Colorado to just 16 rushing yards, sacked its quarterback Shedeur Sanders six times and even returned an interception for a touchdown in the first quarter.
With yesterday's loss, Coach Prime's team is already facing a tough time as social media fans poked fun while creating some sensational memes. Here are some of the best memes cracking up the internet:
The Buffaloes won their first game of the season against the ND State by 31-26 and showed promise to keep up with their winning streak. However, the Colorado vs. Nebraska rivalry game gave a flashback of the 2023 season, where the Buffs finished 4-8 overall and stood at last in their conference.
Fans compared the Buffs' current loss to last season and speculated that it will be the same story for the program in 2024. Despite a roster overhaul after last season, the team's offense did nothing exceptional and was completely outclassed by Nebraska on Saturday night.
Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders' Nightmare Game Against the Huskers
Shedeur Sanders threw for 244 yards, completing 23 of 38 passes and one touchdown. In the first quarter itself, Nebraska defensive back Tommi Hill intercepted the Buffs quarterback's pass and returned it for a seven-yard touchdown.
Apart from getting sacked six times, Sanders also took a blow to the head by Nebraska linebacker Mikai Gbayor with just nine minutes left in the game. Following this, he left the field and was replaced by backup QB Ryan Staub.
Despite having big names like Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and Shilo Sanders, along with an expert coaching staff, the team still doesn't seem ready to secure a playoff berth. However, Coach Prime and his team will want to prove the critics wrong. Next up, they face the Colorado State Rams next Saturday. Will they succeed in making a strong comeback?
