Deion Sanders full press conference: Colorado falls to Stanford in 2OT comeback loss
Written by Sports NewsDeion Sanders had an uneasy feeling, even up 29-0 at halftime. Maybe not the worst collapse in Colorado history about to unfold uneasy, but uneasy anyway.
Stanford coach Troy Taylor didn't really change a thing, just watched as the Cardinal steadily staged the largest comeback in school history.
In a late-night thriller the game started on Friday the 13th and finished on Saturday the 14th this is a game that will be etched in the history of both programs.
Joshua Karty connected on a 31-yard field goal in the second overtime after tying the game in regulation, Elic Ayomanor had a school-record 294 yards receiving and Stanford rallied for a 46-43 victory over Colorado early Saturday.
"Its a special game for these guys to be down 29-nothing against a really good football team and just not quit, Taylor said. Well enjoy this one.
Not so for the Buffaloes, who were reeling from the largest blown lead in school history. The old mark was 28, set at Kansas on Nov. 6, 2010.
Sanders sensed something was amiss, too. Just a little bit of complacency creeping in.
I talked to them about the old cliche people say its 0-0 but thats not true. Its not 0-0, its 29-nothing, the Colorado coach said. I felt complacency going into the half because we stalled offensively, gave up some yardage as well. Just didnt like how I felt going in at halftime. We come back out and here comes complacency. Here comes that team that I cant stand, that you cant stand it. You cant understand how in the world that happens to us. But it did.
