During the ongoing game against No. 12 Texas Tech, Colorado Buffaloes faced a critical moment when they were short on players during a field goal block attempt. After calling a timeout due to only eight players being on the field, Colorado returned with nine players. This confusion highlights a significant issue within the team as Deion Sanders currently lacks a dedicated special teams coordinator, relying instead on Jacob Heavers, a graduate assistant. The Buffaloes lead 7-3 at halftime, a surprising score considering their opponent's ranking.
