Colorado head coach Deion Sanders took a subtle shot at Colorado State following the Buffaloes' dominant Week 3 victory over the Rams. On Saturday, Colorado State had a 3-0 lead to end the first quarter, but it was all Buffaloes from then on, stepping on the gas and cruising to a 28-9 win over their rival. Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter shined in what was a much-anticipated rematch of last year’s double-overtime thriller.

As usual, Deion Sanders wore sunglasses and encouraged Piper to put on a pair, too, making a joke in the process about what Fowler-Nicolosi had said. "Put your shades on baby," Deion Sanders said to the girl. "They hate when we do that.
