Just a few weeks back, Deion Sanders’ Colorado football team looked like it was one of the best in the world.
But last night, the team was embarrassed after their opponent came back from 29 points down at halftime – and made the biggest comeback in the school’s history, Media Take Out confirmed.
Colorado blew a 29-0 lead and lost in double overtime, 46-43.
It was the biggest blown lead in school history; in 2010, Colorado squandered a 28-0 lead at Kansas.
“I talked to them about the old cliche people say — it’s 0-0 but that’s not true,” am embarrassed Sanders said after the game. “It’s not 0-0, it’s 29-nothing. I felt complacency going into the half because we stalled offensively, gave up some yardage as well. Just didn’t like how I felt going in at halftime. We come back out and here comes complacency. Here comes that team that I can’t stand, that you can’t stand it. You can’t understand how in the world that happens to us. But it did. . . .
“From youth on, I don’t remember being up 29-0 and losing a football game. I really don’t. This is a little tough for me. . . . We have no choice but to go forward. That’s life. We didn’t expect that. . . . We can’t sit down and have no pity party.”
