Colorado looked lifeless in the desert against Arizona State, falling 20-10 to the Sun Devils. It was the latest installment in the cycle of simply not good-enough performances from Deion Sanders' team.
The offense looked out of sorts, and Arizona State even tried to gift the Buffs a potential comeback with a roughing-the-kicker penalty on a missed field goal, which led to Colorado's lone touchdown. That was all the offense the Buffaloes could muster.
Questionable play calling, a couple of untimely penalties and poor clock management did not help the offense get in rhythm.
CU is now 3-16 in their last 19 games against Power Four teams and has lost nine straight Big 12 road games. Those are both marks that in college football either put you, coach,
on the hottest of hot seats or out of a job.
Buff fans were going through it throughout the game, questioning the program's direction and what needs to change after another embarrassing showing.
Here are the best reactions from Saturday's defeat vs. Arizona State.
Hasn't been for a while now
This is not fun

Same thing over and over again
What do you even say about this program at this point?
— Tyler Ziskin (@TZiskBuffs) November 8, 2026
That was certainly a choice
Complete blunder tbh https://t.co/5AIYues1os

One of the many examples of very questionable play calling

This sums up the offensive struggles
That was CU's first third-down conversion of the night. We're over halfway through the third quarter.

The Go-Go is not going
The no-no offense https://t.co/TMYls7R6p7

Too harsh?
Colorado is horrendous.
— Jason Scheer (@jasonscheer) November 8, 2026
Not good numbers
Colorado falls to 3-6 after losing 20-10 to Arizona State.

Deion Sanders at Colorado:
19-27 overall
10-23 in conference games
2-10 against ranked opponents

This hurts to hear, but it is true
The crazy thing is; You see Utah running a whole lot of the GoGo offense, and you’d think Marion was their OC not Colorado
— Antonio (@Havok901) November 8, 2026
Some weird vibes and energy for sure
There’s no one on the sidelines standing rn.
— Miles 🦬🏈 (@MilesHighBuffs) November 8, 2026
No one celebrating each other.
Feels very off. https://t.co/XH52TIkbt1
Long list of issues according to a former Buff
Are you surprised Buffs fans?
— Chad Brown (@chadbrown94) November 8, 2026
We are such an unserious program. Flashes without any real consistency.
The issues that plague this team fall on the head coach and the lack of effort to properly prepare this team.
When your first 4 drives are all 3 and outs....that's coaching.…
It sure wasn't good enough
Leave the offensive coordinator in Tempe
— CjSwiezzy (@EverythingBuffs) November 8, 2026
Nope, not at all
This is not what a program in its fourth year under a $10 million head coach should look like. #CUBuffs
— Neill Woelk (@NeillWoelk) November 8, 2026
Could not have said it better myself
This team has as much juice as a fruit that’s been in the desert for a millennia.
— Tyler Ziskin (@TZiskBuffs) November 8, 2026
How many Buff fans feel this way?
There are no words for how upset his football team makes me.
— Folsom Frenzy Podcast (@FolsomFrenzyPod) November 8, 2026
It has been a problem for four years
Worst clock management in the country 😂😂😂@flovom it’s time
— Rocky Mountain Buff🦬 (@rockymtnbuff) November 8, 2026
A notable highlight on an otherwise bad night
Gideon Lampron, Santana Hopper and Randon Fontenette are NFL players THIS DRAFT
