Arizona State secured a pivotal Big 12 Conference victory on Saturday night by defeating Colorado 20-10 in Tempe. According to NBC Sports, the 20-10 loss dropped Colorado to a 3-6 record this season. The defeat also brought head coach Deion Sanders to a 19-27 record in his four years as the head coach of Colorado.

Following the game, Sanders addressed his team's performance and his overall outlook. As reported by NBC Sports, Sanders stated, "The season doesn’t look good. It doesn’t look good. I’m not crazy. I can see clearly. You think I’m happy? I’m not happy with the outcomes. I’m not a loser by any means, and I hate the fact that we’re coming up on the short end of these games."

Sanders expressed sympathy for the players and supporters of the program. NBC Sports noted that Sanders felt he had not done enough to position them for victory, quoting him as saying, “It’s not a personal hurt for me, I hurt because you guys deserve better and the team deserves better. We should win. We should put our best foot forward. And I’m not seeing that.”

After reviewing the statistics from the contest, Sanders acknowledged that his squad failed to execute at the necessary level. He concluded his remarks to NBC Sports by emphasizing the need for improvement, stating, “We’ve just got to do better. And that starts with me.”
