Following a promising 2-0 beginning to the 2026 campaign, Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes have now dropped three straight contests. The most recent defeat occurred at home against No. 10 Texas Tech, with the Red Raiders securing a 29-7 victory.
Colorado actually held a 7-3 advantage at halftime, but Texas Tech took control after the break. The Buffaloes turned the ball over on four consecutive possessions, and after scoring on their opening drive, they failed to find the end zone again.
Isaac Wilson, the younger brother of NFL quarterback Zach Wilson, got the start under center ahead of Julian Lewis. Wilson struggled, throwing three interceptions on the night.
For Colorado, the season-opening win at Georgia Tech now feels like a distant memory. Up next are matchups with No. 13 Utah and No. 19 Oklahoma State, meaning a 2-3 record could quickly become 2-5.
Key Analysis
If the current trajectory continues, speculation will inevitably grow about whether Deion Sanders will return for a fifth season in 2027. The Buffaloes' recent struggles have tempered early-season optimism, and the upcoming schedule offers little relief.
