The mystery surrounding Deion Sanders<\/strong>\u2019 Colorado Buffaloes isn\u2019t about the stars they lost. It\u2019s not Shedeur Sanders\/Travis Hunter<\/strong>. It\u2019s the fact that the Buffs, three weeks into the 2025 season, look like a team that has no idea what they want to be. One minute, they\u2019re slinging it around like they\u2019re in an air raid. Next, they\u2019re trying to pound the rock with a line that can\u2019t move a pile of laundry. And as opposing head coaches start chirping, Prime\u2019s answer? He doesn\u2019t give a damn.<\/p>\n

Colorado\u2019s offense is a mess. An 1-2 record, and averaging ball park of 23.7 points a game. They\u2019ve already run three quarterbacks out there \u2014 Kaidon Salter, Ryan Staub, and freshman phenom Julian Lewis \u2014 but nothing\u2019s sticking. Against Houston, Staub\u2019s debut as QB1 went sideways fast: one touchdown, two picks. And the running game? Don\u2019t even start. 124 rushing yards a game, ranked 105th nationally, and they scraped out just 96 yards against the Cougars. Without Simeon Price\u2019s big runs, they were pushing a measly 2.5 yards per carry.<\/p>\n

Opposing head coaches in back-to-back weeks have basically said that Colorado\u2019s offense doesn\u2019t change much based on who\u2019s at QB.<\/p>\n

Willie Fritz: \u201cYou look at the plays that were called, I think it\u2019s similar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jay Sawvel: \u201cI don\u2019t know that they alter their offense dramatically.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/CNkE1LtMY2<\/a><\/p>\n

Houston head coach Willie Fritz didn\u2019t hold back. He called Colorado\u2019s scheme flat-out repetitive, pointing out that no matter which QB is under center, the same predictable plays are being rolled out. \u201cYou look at the plays that were called, and just the little bit I\u2019ve been watching, you know, and you\u2019re right, they played all three guys this past game against Delaware..I think it\u2019s kind of similar to what they\u2019re running. They\u2019ve got an offense. Maybe one guy will do a little bit something different than the other, but it\u2019s an offense that they run.\u201d Fritz basically accused Pat Shurmur\u2019s offense of being a carbon copy week to week.<\/p>\n

Then on September 16th, Wyoming\u2019s HC Jay Sawvel piled on the same issue: \u201cI don\u2019t know that they alter their offense dramatically between each one. It may obviously be a little different focus, but we got to get ready for multiple different things.\u201d In simple terms, Colorado\u2019s playbook isn\u2019t shifting even with 3 different quarterbacks. The Buffs are an open book, and everyone\u2019s reading the last chapter before it\u2019s even written.<\/p>\n

The numbers back it up. They\u2019re 100+ in the nation in total offense at just 334.3 yards per game. Their passing attack, once the heart of Prime\u2019s showtime brand, has crashed down to 210.3 yards a game, ranked 82nd. Even their third-down stat \u2014 41.4% \u2014 looks decent until you realize it\u2019s mostly short gains, nothing that flips field position or controls tempo. They can\u2019t run the ball, can\u2019t protect the QB, and can\u2019t string drives together without a boneheaded mistake or a dropped pass.<\/p>\n

All of this sets up Saturday night\u2019s showdown against Wyoming. The Buffs are favored by nearly two touchdowns at home, but Vegas odds can\u2019t fix an identity crisis. Wyoming comes in 2-1, with a defense that will be licking its chops at Colorado\u2019s soft O-line.<\/p>\n

Deion Sanders \u2018don\u2019t care\u2019 about the identity of their offense<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s Prime got to say about all this? With two head coaches roasting his scheme and the nation wondering what the Buffs are, Deion Sanders stepped to the mic and hit \u2018em with classic Prime energy: he doesn\u2019t care. \u201cI don\u2019t care what kind of car we pull up in, long as we pull out of here with a W, I\u2019m good. So I don\u2019t really get into the identity thing, not whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s basically him saying results matter more than labels. But here\u2019s the catch: labels matter in football. Teams that can\u2019t define themselves \u2014 run-heavy, pass-first, spread, whatever \u2014 eventually get exposed. Right now, Colorado looks exposed. The line\u2019s folding under pressure, the running backs are bottled up, and the quarterbacks are out there freelancing because the structure\u2019s MIA. Prime can brush off the identity talk, but opponents are already weaponizing it against him.<\/p>\n

Still, you gotta admire the bravado. He doubled down, saying, \u201cWhat\u2019s your identity? What does that mean? I don\u2019t even know what that means!\u201d It\u2019s a defiant clapback, but also a dangerous one. Because in college ball, your identity isn\u2019t optional \u2014 it\u2019s your brand. Prime isn\u2019t wrong to want Ws above all. But right now, the Ws aren\u2019t showing up. One-and-two with your only win over Delaware doesn\u2019t exactly scream, \u201cWe don\u2019t need an identity.\u201d Colorado has been bullied by Power 4 teams so far, and it\u2019s only September. Without Shedeur Sanders orchestrating the passing game<\/a> and Travis Hunter blowing up defenses, the Buffs look even worse than their 2023 season.<\/p>\n
