Deion Sanders urges focus as Colorado prepares for Weber State
Summary

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders challenged his team on Tuesday to maintain intensity following a 14-13 victory over Georgia Tech in Atlanta. The win, which featured a late touchdown pass from Julian Lewis and a decisive blocked field goal by Boo Carter, ended the program’s seven-game road losing streak. Despite the result, Sanders emphasized that an undefeated 1-0 record carries little weight early in the season. He pointed to specific areas requiring correction, including a surrendered 100-yard kickoff return and inconsistent passing efficiency. The Buffaloes finished the game with 183 rushing yards and controlled the ball for over 34 minutes. The team now turns its attention to a home matchup against Weber State scheduled for September 12 at Folsom Field.
