1
00:00:21,605 --> 00:00:24,900
[Arielle] The amount of hits that
Shedeur took in just the UCLA game alone
2
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:28,904
{\an8}is the equivalent that most quarterbacks
will take over a multitude of games.
3
00:00:30,197 --> 00:00:32,908
He got sacked seven times against UCLA,
4
00:00:32,908 --> 00:00:35,661
and he was under pressure
for half of his snaps.
5
00:00:37,413 --> 00:00:41,083
I know that he had to get a cortisone shot
in the middle of the game,
6
00:00:41,083 --> 00:00:44,628
but it really does speak
to how tough this kid is.
7
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,339
[woman]
What do you want to do, Shedeur?
8
00:00:47,339 --> 00:00:48,424
[Shedeur]
Hyperbaric chamber.
9
00:00:48,424 --> 00:00:50,092
Hyperbaric? Sounds good.
10
00:00:50,092 --> 00:00:52,803
[Shedeur] Right now,
my ankle and my hip hurt.
11
00:00:52,803 --> 00:00:57,808
{\an8}All right, the recovery process is just...
just getting treatment on it a lot.
12
00:00:57,808 --> 00:01:01,604
Realistically, you're feeling it
wherever you're hurting.
13
00:01:01,604 --> 00:01:04,982
But you know not playing
or quitting is not an option,
14
00:01:04,982 --> 00:01:06,275
so you just deal with it.
15
00:01:06,275 --> 00:01:07,234
You ready?
16
00:01:09,195 --> 00:01:12,782
I'm just doing everything I can
in my power every hour of the day
17
00:01:12,782 --> 00:01:16,076
to make sure I'm able to be out there
and perform my best Saturday.
18
00:01:17,661 --> 00:01:21,916
It's not sustainable because eventually
one of those hits is gonna break him.
19
00:01:21,916 --> 00:01:26,837
And I don't know who this team is
without Shedeur Sanders.
20
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,842
[man 1]
Coach Prime.
21
00:01:31,842 --> 00:01:36,597
It's official, and it has sent excitement
throughout the entire country.
22
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:37,765
[all cheering]
23
00:01:37,765 --> 00:01:40,267
[man 2]
Coach Prime led Jackson State
24
00:01:40,267 --> 00:01:43,312
to back-to-back undefeated
SWAC championships.
25
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:47,525
Now looking to turn around
a Colorado program
26
00:01:47,525 --> 00:01:50,444
that's had two winning seasons
27
00:01:50,444 --> 00:01:52,363
in the last 17 years.
28
00:01:53,489 --> 00:01:56,242
[Coach Prime] This ain't last year.
This ain't an old team.
29
00:01:56,242 --> 00:01:57,660
[man 3]
He's bringing Shedeur with him,
30
00:01:57,660 --> 00:01:59,203
he's bringing Travis Hunter with him--
31
00:01:59,203 --> 00:02:01,413
two of the biggest transfers
in the country.
32
00:02:01,413 --> 00:02:03,499
[man 4] Do you know what
he said to his players?
33
00:02:03,499 --> 00:02:05,709
He said, "Jump in the portal."
34
00:02:05,709 --> 00:02:07,253
[man 5]
Now there's a big deal because
35
00:02:07,253 --> 00:02:10,005
over 50 players
have hit the transfer portal.
36
00:02:10,005 --> 00:02:13,008
[man 6]
Does anyone on this roster make it?
37
00:02:13,008 --> 00:02:16,720
I need my purpose right now!
I need everything you got!
38
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,307
[man 7] This is the biggest experiment
that we've ever seen in college football,
39
00:02:20,307 --> 00:02:21,892
and I'm excited to see what this team has.
40
00:02:21,892 --> 00:02:23,978
[theme music playing]
41
00:02:32,945 --> 00:02:36,448
[man 1] Pat Shurmur will take over
play-calling duties
42
00:02:36,448 --> 00:02:38,576
for offensive coordinator Sean Lewis.
43
00:02:38,576 --> 00:02:40,911
[man 2] The decision comes
on the heels of Shedeur Sanders
44
00:02:40,911 --> 00:02:43,664
getting absolutely pummeled
against UCLA last weekend.
45
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:47,084
[man 3] Was it Sean Lewis's fault
that the offensive line can't block?
46
00:02:47,084 --> 00:02:48,002
I guess.
47
00:02:48,002 --> 00:02:49,503
[man 4]
This looks like a demotion to me.
48
00:02:49,503 --> 00:02:52,214
Sean Lewis has had, I thought,
a pretty damn good year.
49
00:02:53,215 --> 00:02:54,550
[whistle blows]
50
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:58,429
{\an8}When I got the alert that Sean Lewis
was gonna be the co-offensive coordinator
51
00:02:58,429 --> 00:03:01,265
{\an8}and Pat Shurmur was gonna call the plays,
I was shocked.
52
00:03:01,265 --> 00:03:02,766
[screams]
53
00:03:02,766 --> 00:03:04,894
[Yogi] Anybody who's been around
college football for a long time
54
00:03:04,894 --> 00:03:10,608
and knows the reputation of Sean Lewis
was equally, if not more, shocked.
55
00:03:10,608 --> 00:03:13,027
We're going hard.
Game-like tempo, okay?
56
00:03:13,027 --> 00:03:19,116
When I make a change in personnel
on the field or in the coaching aspect,
57
00:03:19,116 --> 00:03:20,701
{\an8}it's long thought out.
58
00:03:21,744 --> 00:03:25,998
{\an8}I don't make any changes
of that nature based on emotions
59
00:03:25,998 --> 00:03:30,419
because I'm not a seesaw type of a person.
60
00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:31,337
I rock steady.
61
00:03:31,337 --> 00:03:34,131
Back up! Back up!
Back the ball up! Back up!
62
00:03:34,131 --> 00:03:37,676
{\an8}This summer, Coach Prime called
and said he would like to have, you know,
63
00:03:37,676 --> 00:03:40,262
{\an8}somebody with my background
join his staff.
64
00:03:40,262 --> 00:03:42,222
Most often, working behind the scenes.
65
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:44,600
That's it. Good.
Lookies, lookies.
66
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,436
And obviously that's
ramped up a little bit now.
67
00:03:47,436 --> 00:03:49,688
But, you know, I think we're all
just still working together.
68
00:03:49,688 --> 00:03:53,651
He wanted me to have
a little bit more of an impact.
69
00:03:53,651 --> 00:03:55,527
This should be good
'cause there's no edges.
70
00:03:55,527 --> 00:03:56,946
[Yogi]
When you're seeing a quarterback
71
00:03:56,946 --> 00:03:59,406
take the pounding
that Shedeur Sanders has taken,
72
00:03:59,406 --> 00:04:03,035
I mean, that had to lead
to replacing his play-caller.
73
00:04:03,035 --> 00:04:05,955
[Coach Prime] Coach Shurmur
is a man who's had 21 years
74
00:04:05,955 --> 00:04:09,833
of professional experience,
and he's done it at the highest of levels.
75
00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:11,627
[Pat]
Give it a chance.
76
00:04:11,627 --> 00:04:15,464
{\an8}They started off so hot,
and then things went a little bit awry,
77
00:04:15,464 --> 00:04:18,133
{\an8}and it felt like they just
had to make a change.
78
00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:20,594
They need to do a better job
of protecting Shedeur.
79
00:04:20,594 --> 00:04:23,722
So, you never want to have
mid-season coaching change,
80
00:04:23,722 --> 00:04:24,932
but it felt like this is
one of those things
81
00:04:24,932 --> 00:04:27,851
that's like, "We have to try
something at this point."
82
00:04:27,851 --> 00:04:29,520
[Coach Prime]
This is not emotional.
83
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,481
I don't dislike Coach Lewis
or what they're doing.
84
00:04:32,481 --> 00:04:33,816
It just was time.
85
00:04:33,816 --> 00:04:39,196
I'm consistently trying
to take us to another level.
86
00:04:39,196 --> 00:04:41,573
Hey, take a hitch and throw it.
87
00:04:41,573 --> 00:04:44,410
There's no reason to make
an inaccurate throw in that, right?
88
00:04:44,410 --> 00:04:46,203
[Shedeur]
At this point, we're all grown men
89
00:04:46,203 --> 00:04:49,415
and we're all here for a purpose,
and that's to get to the next level.
90
00:04:49,415 --> 00:04:52,334
Each person has to make
a conscious decision to make that effort.
91
00:04:53,669 --> 00:04:56,213
[Coach Prime]
It is my obligation to this university
92
00:04:56,213 --> 00:04:59,466
and to these young men
that I put them in the best position
93
00:04:59,466 --> 00:05:03,554
not only to win a football game,
but to advance to the next level.
94
00:05:04,847 --> 00:05:07,808
That's my obligation,
and I'm gonna stick to that.
95
00:05:12,354 --> 00:05:15,357
[indistinct chatter]
96
00:05:17,109 --> 00:05:20,487
{\an8}The one thing we've tried to do
is coach the players that are here.
97
00:05:20,487 --> 00:05:23,991
{\an8}But understand, recruiting
is the lifeblood of your program.
98
00:05:23,991 --> 00:05:27,369
The better players you have
and the better developed they are,
99
00:05:27,369 --> 00:05:28,871
the better team you're gonna have.
100
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:35,669
{\an8}If we can go into 2024
with a ten-piece.
101
00:05:35,669 --> 00:05:39,882
{\an8}We have, what, 11, 12 commits?
We'll get some more.
102
00:05:39,882 --> 00:05:42,259
Transfers could factor into that.
103
00:05:42,259 --> 00:05:45,721
But, like, we ideally gotta use
all 20 of them spots.
104
00:05:45,721 --> 00:05:50,267
You gotta use all 20 spots,
but you may not have to use all 20 visits.
105
00:05:50,267 --> 00:05:51,685
[man] Correct.
106
00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:53,312
[Yogi]
Expectations are always a fun word.
107
00:05:53,312 --> 00:05:57,649
When you look at 2024 in Colorado,
I know the expectations of Coach Prime.
108
00:05:57,649 --> 00:06:02,988
The truth is, though, you've gotta
develop, in year two, the roots.
109
00:06:02,988 --> 00:06:06,366
You better watch church on TV.
Man, we got work to do.
110
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:11,080
I would describe my role in the program
as the keeper of our roster.
111
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,333
I don't wanna practice.
I keep telling y'all.
112
00:06:14,333 --> 00:06:17,461
I'm just saying we need to close the loop.
113
00:06:17,461 --> 00:06:20,172
[Corey]
Yeah, we'll have a conversation with them.
114
00:06:20,172 --> 00:06:23,509
My conversation always starts with Coach.
115
00:06:23,509 --> 00:06:26,011
We're down the stretch,
the last quarter of the season.
116
00:06:26,011 --> 00:06:28,430
We'll continue our advanced scout,
but now we'll start
117
00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:32,351
to really self-scout us
and see what our needs are.
118
00:06:32,351 --> 00:06:35,229
Compare him to him at the same position.
119
00:06:35,229 --> 00:06:38,190
I mean, I think the second one
is more athletic.
120
00:06:38,190 --> 00:06:39,358
Yeah.
121
00:06:39,358 --> 00:06:40,317
- But, like...
- He's young.
122
00:06:40,317 --> 00:06:44,071
Quicker-footed,
like it has more years left.
123
00:06:44,071 --> 00:06:49,034
Of course, you wanna upgrade the roster
by any means necessary.
124
00:06:49,034 --> 00:06:52,121
And the transfer portal
has allowed us to do that.
125
00:06:52,121 --> 00:06:53,997
That block of time...
126
00:06:55,707 --> 00:06:56,708
it's just us.
127
00:06:57,709 --> 00:07:01,338
And if we have one meeting with Coach
and one over here and one over here...
128
00:07:01,338 --> 00:07:03,173
The more people and points of contact
129
00:07:03,173 --> 00:07:04,842
helps alleviate that.
130
00:07:04,842 --> 00:07:06,718
[Corey]
So, with that being said,
131
00:07:06,718 --> 00:07:12,266
I have to be able to anticipate
the potential portal kids and say,
132
00:07:12,266 --> 00:07:16,019
"What are the pieces that we need
to make 2024 magic?"
133
00:07:23,193 --> 00:07:24,695
[Ryan]
You've got four games left.
134
00:07:24,695 --> 00:07:27,531
You have to win two
if you're going to get to a bowl game.
135
00:07:27,531 --> 00:07:29,283
This is an incredibly daunting task
136
00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:31,910
because the schedule
has only gotten harder and harder
137
00:07:31,910 --> 00:07:33,871
as the team has gotten
more and more banged up
138
00:07:33,871 --> 00:07:36,206
and you have Shedeur
dealing with injuries.
139
00:07:36,206 --> 00:07:39,084
And meanwhile,
you're running into some juggernauts.
140
00:07:39,084 --> 00:07:41,295
It's funny that it's
the last year of the Pac-12
141
00:07:41,295 --> 00:07:43,672
because this is the best
the conference has ever been.
142
00:07:44,882 --> 00:07:46,842
[Mark] Tomorrow night,
he's gonna lead the Buffaloes
143
00:07:46,842 --> 00:07:49,845
to play the Oregon State Beavers
for Homecoming.
144
00:07:49,845 --> 00:07:53,640
[Shane] It's not gonna be an easy game
that we play, especially from here on out.
145
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,101
{\an8}Every game, we need to fight
every single quarter,
146
00:07:56,101 --> 00:07:59,021
{\an8}every single down, every single minute,
to get that win.
147
00:08:01,523 --> 00:08:06,320
Let's bring up
Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders!
148
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,864
[all cheer]
149
00:08:10,115 --> 00:08:13,410
[Coach Prime] The thing I love
about what we've done this year
150
00:08:13,410 --> 00:08:15,621
is we got our butts kicked one game.
151
00:08:15,621 --> 00:08:18,832
Every other game,
we've had an opportunity to win.
152
00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:21,710
And we're gonna learn how to win,
and we're gonna win for you.
153
00:08:21,710 --> 00:08:24,796
And we're gonna give you what you deserve
and what you desire,
154
00:08:24,796 --> 00:08:27,090
and that's
a championship-caliber football team.
155
00:08:27,090 --> 00:08:29,134
[all cheer]
156
00:08:29,134 --> 00:08:30,677
[Jimmy]
If our head coach is confident,
157
00:08:30,677 --> 00:08:32,429
we gotta be confident
right there with him, you know.
158
00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:34,306
{\an8}But at the end of the day,
we're the players out there on the field.
159
00:08:34,306 --> 00:08:36,558
{\an8}So, Coach Prime
done did all his dirty work,
160
00:08:36,558 --> 00:08:38,727
{\an8}all the other coaches,
they done did their dirty work.
161
00:08:38,727 --> 00:08:42,064
That's why he put out 11 players
on the field that believe.
162
00:08:42,064 --> 00:08:44,024
God bless you. I love you.
163
00:08:44,024 --> 00:08:45,400
[all cheer]
164
00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:51,281
You remember
when we was down in Fort Worth
165
00:08:51,281 --> 00:08:53,242
and I said, "I believe."
166
00:08:53,242 --> 00:08:54,159
[all]
I believe.
167
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:58,288
[Coach Prime] I talked about,
"We're not coming no more, we're here."
168
00:08:58,288 --> 00:09:01,041
You remember that passion?
You remember that fire?
169
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:04,294
You remember that intensity?
You remember that dog?
170
00:09:04,294 --> 00:09:06,838
You remember that want?
You remember that need?
171
00:09:06,838 --> 00:09:08,674
You remember
the way we took the field?
172
00:09:08,674 --> 00:09:10,425
You remember the way
we went out there on offense?
173
00:09:10,425 --> 00:09:11,343
The way we went on defense?
174
00:09:11,343 --> 00:09:12,803
The way we went out there
on special teams?
175
00:09:12,803 --> 00:09:14,012
The way we went, period?
176
00:09:14,012 --> 00:09:15,222
When we came back at halftime?
177
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:16,598
The way we went back out there?
178
00:09:16,598 --> 00:09:17,724
Do you remember that?
179
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:18,642
[all]
Yes, sir.
180
00:09:18,642 --> 00:09:20,602
- Because we believe, don't we?
- [all] Yes, sir.
181
00:09:20,602 --> 00:09:23,021
That's how we started,
and that's how we're gonna finish.
182
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:35,325
Look. Man, really?
183
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:40,038
Dog, really?
184
00:09:40,038 --> 00:09:40,956
[Juwan] Amen.
185
00:09:40,956 --> 00:09:42,332
My aunt! My aunt pray for me
before every game.
186
00:09:42,332 --> 00:09:44,418
[Coach Prime]
We got a team going on in here, man!
187
00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:47,337
We got a team going on!
188
00:09:47,337 --> 00:09:48,839
It ain't about you, it's about us!
189
00:09:54,511 --> 00:09:56,179
Oh, my goodness!
190
00:09:57,889 --> 00:10:01,226
[Mark] Ralphie is about ready
to be unleashed out of the panels.
191
00:10:02,394 --> 00:10:05,022
Here comes Coach Prime
and the Buffaloes.
192
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:08,734
With the Buffaloes back home
to take on Oregon State tonight
193
00:10:08,734 --> 00:10:11,695
here at Folsom Field,
the big story leading up to this ball game
194
00:10:11,695 --> 00:10:14,323
was the coaching adjustments
by Coach Prime.
195
00:10:14,323 --> 00:10:18,076
Former NFL head coach Pat Shurmur
now the co-offensive coordinator.
196
00:10:18,076 --> 00:10:19,995
He'll be in the booth, calling the plays.
197
00:10:19,995 --> 00:10:21,288
- [Coach Prime] What are we gonna do?
- [all] Win!
198
00:10:21,288 --> 00:10:22,205
- What are we gonna do?
- [all] Win!
199
00:10:22,205 --> 00:10:23,206
What are we gonna do?
- [all] Win!
200
00:10:24,583 --> 00:10:27,711
[Coach Prime] Let's not beat us!
Play your game! Confident!
201
00:10:27,711 --> 00:10:32,632
Beat him! Beat him! Beat him!
Beat him! Beat him!
202
00:10:34,343 --> 00:10:36,178
[commentator]
Buffs gotta play four quarters.
203
00:10:36,178 --> 00:10:39,765
This is a rock-solid
Oregon State football team,
204
00:10:39,765 --> 00:10:42,309
and it's gonna require
playing start to finish.
205
00:10:43,435 --> 00:10:46,188
[Mark] Snap, fakes the inside handoff,
throws a quick pass.
206
00:10:46,188 --> 00:10:48,231
Travis Hunter.
Oh, what a jump cut!
207
00:10:48,231 --> 00:10:49,149
Slides to the left.
208
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:50,400
Now here comes pressure in his face.
209
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,318
He got hit and sacked.
210
00:10:51,318 --> 00:10:54,154
A loss of 11 yards on that play.
211
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:56,114
Shotgun snap Shedeur.
Here comes pressure in the face.
212
00:10:56,114 --> 00:10:57,032
Lobs it down.
213
00:10:57,032 --> 00:10:59,785
{\an8}And Antonio's out there.
Ball just overthrown.
214
00:10:59,785 --> 00:11:02,287
Hey, bro. Bro.
You gotta hit that.
215
00:11:02,287 --> 00:11:03,455
Hit that.
216
00:11:03,455 --> 00:11:04,456
[Mark]
Gets away from pressure.
217
00:11:04,456 --> 00:11:07,376
Now running, grabbed from behind,
and he comes down.
218
00:11:07,376 --> 00:11:10,087
They needed six. He got five.
219
00:11:10,087 --> 00:11:11,546
Snap taken by Shedeur, backpedaling.
220
00:11:11,546 --> 00:11:15,425
Runs out to his right, steps back,
rifles it off the back foot.
221
00:11:15,425 --> 00:11:18,220
And Shedeur got knocked down.
222
00:11:18,220 --> 00:11:21,681
He's getting hit every time he throws.
Okay? He's getting hit.
223
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:23,725
[Mark] Chiles takes
the quarterback-designed draw.
224
00:11:23,725 --> 00:11:25,560
Runs up inside and he gets by Bentley.
225
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:27,562
Running at the five to the end zone.
226
00:11:27,562 --> 00:11:29,189
{\an8}Dives. Touchdown.
227
00:11:30,482 --> 00:11:31,983
{\an8}Hey, we need to help three.
228
00:11:31,983 --> 00:11:34,903
We need to help three 'cause
that's definitely where they're going.
229
00:11:34,903 --> 00:11:36,196
[Mark]
Buffs have got trouble here.
230
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:37,823
Snap, drop to throw, scans.
231
00:11:37,823 --> 00:11:39,324
Looks right side. Caught.
232
00:11:39,324 --> 00:11:40,575
Fenwick. Touchdown.
233
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:44,746
{\an8}[commentator] I'm in a little pain
over here right now in this series.
234
00:11:44,746 --> 00:11:47,833
I'm just...
That's just painful.
235
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:49,835
[Mark]
Snap taken by Shedeur.
236
00:11:49,835 --> 00:11:54,005
Drops, flush forward now,
in trouble, grabbed, and he is sacked.
237
00:11:54,005 --> 00:11:55,298
[Coach Prime]
I don't care what you have to do.
238
00:11:55,298 --> 00:11:56,591
I don't care what you have to do.
239
00:11:56,591 --> 00:11:57,926
You gotta get the ball out there.
240
00:11:57,926 --> 00:12:00,554
Try your best not to take the sack, dog.
This kills me.
241
00:12:00,554 --> 00:12:02,472
[Mark]
Shedeur snap, steps up in the pocket.
242
00:12:02,472 --> 00:12:05,308
Grabbed and sacked
back to the 19-yard line.
243
00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:06,852
Backpedals.
Here comes pressure.
244
00:12:06,852 --> 00:12:07,853
Gets away from one guy.
245
00:12:07,853 --> 00:12:10,147
Rears out to the near side.
Now hit as he throws.
246
00:12:10,147 --> 00:12:11,773
Took a heck of a shot.
247
00:12:12,482 --> 00:12:13,483
Fuck!
248
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:15,819
[commentator]
Shedeur's banged up, and...
249
00:12:15,819 --> 00:12:16,736
[Mark]
Yes, he is.
250
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:18,613
[commentator]
You could tell he was in a lot of pain.
251
00:12:18,613 --> 00:12:20,657
That showed itself
as he was limping badly
252
00:12:20,657 --> 00:12:22,701
as he went up the tunnel.
253
00:12:24,995 --> 00:12:26,037
[Shedeur] Fuck!
254
00:12:26,037 --> 00:12:28,123
[indistinct chatter]
255
00:12:33,211 --> 00:12:34,504
[Shedeur]
Fuck, man!
256
00:12:38,008 --> 00:12:40,010
[commentator] Mark, I think
we're all in wait-and-see mode
257
00:12:40,010 --> 00:12:42,637
to see what looks different
with Pat Shurmur tonight.
258
00:12:42,637 --> 00:12:44,181
So far, it looks similar.
259
00:12:44,181 --> 00:12:46,308
[Mark] And boy, you can
just feel it in the crowd here.
260
00:12:46,308 --> 00:12:48,518
Fifty thousand people
here tonight, sellout,
261
00:12:48,518 --> 00:12:51,313
and they're just sitting there
waiting for something.
262
00:12:52,147 --> 00:12:54,608
{\an8}The Buffs fall
to number 16 Oregon State.
263
00:12:54,608 --> 00:12:57,194
{\an8}They're sitting at 4-5 on the year.
264
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:02,782
[Coach Prime] We haven't found
that level of consistency yet,
265
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:05,368
and that's what's truly disheartening.
266
00:13:05,368 --> 00:13:09,873
[dramatic music playing]
267
00:13:19,174 --> 00:13:21,760
[Shedeur] Defense, y'all held your own.
Y'all did what y'all supposed to do.
268
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,345
Offensively, we didn't do that.
269
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,900
[crowd cheering]
270
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:39,569
[Mark] Well, here we sit now,
late in the season,
271
00:13:39,569 --> 00:13:41,112
with three games remaining,
272
00:13:41,112 --> 00:13:43,365
and Colorado still
looking for win number five.
273
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:50,956
You got to be kidding me, guys.
Come on! Defense, come on, man!
274
00:13:50,956 --> 00:13:54,751
[Mark] The Buffaloes' offensive line
is just crumbling.
275
00:13:54,751 --> 00:13:56,503
[Coach Prime] Come on, guys.
Come on, guys.
276
00:13:56,503 --> 00:13:57,546
[Mark]
Tied at 31.
277
00:13:57,546 --> 00:13:58,463
For the lead.
278
00:13:58,463 --> 00:14:00,715
Mata set, snap,
swings the right leg.
279
00:14:00,715 --> 00:14:01,800
Kick is up.
280
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:06,346
And it is no good.
281
00:14:07,764 --> 00:14:09,224
[Coach Prime]
Mata missed.
282
00:14:19,693 --> 00:14:21,111
I challenge you today to be different.
283
00:14:21,111 --> 00:14:23,905
I challenge you today to get it right.
284
00:14:23,905 --> 00:14:29,369
I challenge you today to be
the best that you can possibly be
285
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:31,162
and give it your all.
286
00:14:33,623 --> 00:14:35,041
[Mark]
We're set for college football.
287
00:14:35,041 --> 00:14:35,959
It's not a sellout.
288
00:14:35,959 --> 00:14:38,420
First time this season
the Buffaloes will not play
289
00:14:38,420 --> 00:14:39,796
in front of a capacity crowd.
290
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:49,723
Got hit, ball pops loose.
291
00:14:49,723 --> 00:14:52,976
Picked up, and it's running it in
to the end zone.
292
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:06,698
[Coach Prime]
Guys, I've never...
293
00:15:06,698 --> 00:15:09,284
been a part of a team,
or been part of a game
294
00:15:09,284 --> 00:15:13,330
that I've actually witnessed coaches
295
00:15:13,330 --> 00:15:15,040
and players quit.
296
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,377
And the whole thing that has
kept me going, and kept me encouraged...
297
00:15:19,377 --> 00:15:21,755
No matter what the media
may have ever said about us,
298
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:26,259
I said, "One thing about these guys
is they haven't quit."
299
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:27,969
You guys are quitting, man.
300
00:15:31,723 --> 00:15:33,516
[Mark]
When you're somebody like Coach Prime,
301
00:15:33,516 --> 00:15:39,147
{\an8}that his entire life has competed
and excelled at a certain level,
302
00:15:39,147 --> 00:15:42,275
{\an8}and when you're a Hall of Fame
type of athlete like that,
303
00:15:42,275 --> 00:15:45,278
you expect things to be
that way all the time.
304
00:15:47,155 --> 00:15:50,909
{\an8}Coach Prime never before in his
coaching history, his leadership history,
305
00:15:50,909 --> 00:15:53,578
has he had a losing record.
306
00:15:53,578 --> 00:15:55,914
This is the first time
he's gone through something like this.
307
00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:58,583
Um, these stats are...
308
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:02,921
[sighs]
Shoot, when you look at them...
309
00:16:04,714 --> 00:16:07,550
[sighs]
It's unbelievable.
310
00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:08,718
[chuckles]
311
00:16:12,514 --> 00:16:15,684
[man] After the game,
what did you tell your team?
312
00:16:15,684 --> 00:16:18,478
What? [laughs]
What are you gonna say?
313
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:19,688
What do you say?
314
00:16:19,688 --> 00:16:22,649
I'm still trying
to figure out our identity,
315
00:16:22,649 --> 00:16:27,320
trying to figure out
who we are in turbulent times.
316
00:16:28,154 --> 00:16:31,074
[man] Is this the toughest stretch
of your coaching career?
317
00:16:31,074 --> 00:16:34,160
Oh, this is the toughest stretch
of probably my life.
318
00:16:35,620 --> 00:16:38,123
[Ryan Clark] When you're not winning
and you're not everybody's darling
319
00:16:38,123 --> 00:16:40,041
and you're not everybody's favorite,
320
00:16:40,041 --> 00:16:43,294
{\an8}then it starts to be looked at
a different way.
321
00:16:44,379 --> 00:16:46,548
And so how do you handle the dark?
322
00:16:46,548 --> 00:16:47,674
How do you handle the suck?
323
00:16:49,092 --> 00:16:52,429
'Cause in the end,
we'll see what he's made of
324
00:16:52,429 --> 00:16:53,972
and we'll see what
these boys are made of.
325
00:16:59,102 --> 00:17:02,564
{\an8}[indistinct chatter]
326
00:17:03,773 --> 00:17:08,820
You're the laziest fucker I've ever seen.
And I promise you, I'll let people know.
327
00:17:08,820 --> 00:17:10,321
Set, go!
328
00:17:12,198 --> 00:17:15,618
It's a fucking tackling drill,
not a push!
329
00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:18,621
{\an8}You look at where this team was
at the beginning of the season,
330
00:17:18,621 --> 00:17:21,708
{\an8}that TCU win,
beating Nebraska by a good margin,
331
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:24,002
{\an8}that exciting game against CSU,
332
00:17:24,002 --> 00:17:28,465
there was so much belief
that this team could be bowl eligible.
333
00:17:28,465 --> 00:17:30,383
Right there. Go!
334
00:17:30,383 --> 00:17:33,178
[Nikki] Unfortunately,
that hasn't been the Buffs' reality,
335
00:17:33,178 --> 00:17:35,638
especially with
Shedeur's injury last game.
336
00:17:36,723 --> 00:17:38,767
[Lauren] He finally went up
and saw the ankle specialist.
337
00:17:38,767 --> 00:17:39,976
High ankle sprain.
338
00:17:39,976 --> 00:17:41,394
He's got a little bit
of an Achilles strain too.
339
00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:43,438
That's why he's having
so much pain walking.
340
00:17:43,897 --> 00:17:46,107
He got hurt
when he scrambled and fumbled?
341
00:17:46,941 --> 00:17:49,152
His foot went like this.
342
00:17:49,152 --> 00:17:51,070
He's, honestly,
got swelling on both sides.
343
00:17:53,239 --> 00:17:56,284
[Coach Prime] We don't know
what Shedeur's gonna do right now.
344
00:17:56,284 --> 00:17:59,788
We're praying for him that he makes it.
He's a little banged up, truly.
345
00:18:00,789 --> 00:18:03,041
He's kind of been hurt
through these last couple games.
346
00:18:03,041 --> 00:18:04,501
He ain't really been
getting his shot out there.
347
00:18:04,501 --> 00:18:06,878
[Travis]
Injury is gonna happen in football.
348
00:18:06,878 --> 00:18:09,923
{\an8}That's when family comes in to play
and lets you know that we've got your back
349
00:18:09,923 --> 00:18:12,300
{\an8}even when you're down,
even when you're up.
350
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:14,344
[man] All right, let's go.
Regular, regular, regular, regular.
351
00:18:15,512 --> 00:18:17,639
[Coach Prime]
Defense, you look real lazy right now.
352
00:18:17,639 --> 00:18:19,349
You look real lazy, defense.
353
00:18:19,349 --> 00:18:21,309
We can't put up with that, man.
354
00:18:21,309 --> 00:18:24,729
I want them to finish strong,
and I want them to accomplish it.
355
00:18:24,729 --> 00:18:28,233
And it's much easier with Shedeur,
but it's gonna be a challenge without.
356
00:18:28,233 --> 00:18:31,945
But we're gonna have to pull together
as a unit if that's the case.
357
00:18:31,945 --> 00:18:32,904
[whistle blows]
358
00:18:32,904 --> 00:18:33,905
Everybody up.
359
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:37,909
Guys, right now,
the way this practice is going,
360
00:18:37,909 --> 00:18:39,077
you're gonna get your butt kicked.
361
00:18:39,077 --> 00:18:41,621
And coaches,
you're allowing it to happen.
362
00:18:41,621 --> 00:18:43,665
I know some of y'all done quit,
you ain't down till the end,
363
00:18:43,665 --> 00:18:45,291
and I can see it plain as day.
364
00:18:46,584 --> 00:18:47,460
And I'm not putting up with it.
365
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:49,796
So what we're gonna do,
take your helmet, shoulder pads off.
366
00:18:49,796 --> 00:18:52,298
Let's just get on the line and we're just
gonna run for the rest of practice
367
00:18:52,298 --> 00:18:54,759
so we at least can be in condition
while we're getting our butts kicked.
368
00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:55,677
Let's go.
369
00:18:57,220 --> 00:18:58,221
Come on, Coach.
370
00:19:00,014 --> 00:19:02,725
[Jimmy] When we're not exceeding
the expectations that he ordered for us,
371
00:19:02,725 --> 00:19:05,812
it's like us letting him down
and letting ourselves down, you know.
372
00:19:05,812 --> 00:19:06,896
[whistle blows]
373
00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:09,816
[Coach Prime]
Come here, sir. No, Hart.
374
00:19:11,025 --> 00:19:14,112
I'm telling you, dog,
we just think different.
375
00:19:14,112 --> 00:19:18,074
You still have an opportunity to play.
You still have an opportunity to win.
376
00:19:18,074 --> 00:19:21,828
End on a good note, man.
Get something to build on.
377
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:23,788
[whistle blows]
378
00:19:23,788 --> 00:19:25,582
[Coach Prime] They didn't touch the line,
run them again.
379
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,044
Even if you graduate, don't you want
to put some good film out there,
380
00:19:30,044 --> 00:19:31,838
showing you winning a game
or something?
381
00:19:31,838 --> 00:19:34,382
[Coach Prime] Some of these kids,
they ain't built like that, though.
382
00:19:34,382 --> 00:19:35,842
[whistle blows]
383
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:40,680
The original question going into this was,
can we be a unified and cohesive team
384
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,932
with people coming in the spring,
you know,
385
00:19:42,932 --> 00:19:45,351
a whole new batch
coming in the summer?
386
00:19:45,351 --> 00:19:47,854
At this point,
I don't know if we are that.
387
00:19:48,605 --> 00:19:50,690
First three games,
you know, things were looking great.
388
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:51,774
But I think, you know,
389
00:19:51,774 --> 00:19:54,110
everybody has a plan
till you get smacked in the mouth.
390
00:19:55,194 --> 00:19:56,404
I mean, that's what happened to us.
391
00:19:58,990 --> 00:20:02,493
Fellas, y'all are here because
y'all serve some type of leadership
392
00:20:02,493 --> 00:20:04,787
and the respect that I have for you.
393
00:20:04,787 --> 00:20:07,040
We can't let this thing slip away.
394
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,377
We can't allow your teammates
to dial it in and phone it in.
395
00:20:11,377 --> 00:20:13,671
We're too good to be this bad.
396
00:20:15,381 --> 00:20:16,883
But we gotta finish strong, guys.
397
00:20:16,883 --> 00:20:18,593
We gotta finish, and we can't quit.
398
00:20:18,593 --> 00:20:23,097
And y'all can't let your groups quit.
You can't let it happen.
399
00:20:23,097 --> 00:20:25,391
You gotta stay on their butt,
and that stuff starts in here.
400
00:20:26,476 --> 00:20:28,186
So, hold yourselves accountable first
401
00:20:28,186 --> 00:20:30,980
because you can't check nobody
when you ain't in check.
402
00:20:31,981 --> 00:20:32,815
And let's go.
403
00:20:32,815 --> 00:20:34,359
Let's go.
404
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,902
All right?
405
00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:37,403
It's on y'all, man.
406
00:20:37,403 --> 00:20:38,696
Y'all lead this thing. All right?
407
00:20:38,696 --> 00:20:39,864
[all]
Yes, sir.
408
00:20:42,075 --> 00:20:44,077
[indistinct chatter]
409
00:20:51,584 --> 00:20:53,711
[Shane]
Watching film after practice,
410
00:20:53,711 --> 00:20:57,757
I mean, it's something I've always done
since a freshman at Dartmouth.
411
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:00,677
I think it is a part of leadership.
412
00:21:00,677 --> 00:21:03,846
And if you're gonna have
the same expectations for someone else,
413
00:21:03,846 --> 00:21:05,765
you have to do the same thing
you expect them to do.
414
00:21:08,434 --> 00:21:12,772
Comparing teams that I've been on
at Dartmouth and how we were together,
415
00:21:12,772 --> 00:21:16,484
win, loss, workout,
summer, film study session,
416
00:21:16,484 --> 00:21:19,821
no matter what it was,
that was a team, that was a family.
417
00:21:19,821 --> 00:21:21,197
I don't think we're there yet.
418
00:21:22,907 --> 00:21:26,119
I think we've learned
from the great experiment
419
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,121
that they were calling Colorado early on,
420
00:21:28,121 --> 00:21:32,917
football takes camaraderie,
football takes togetherness.
421
00:21:34,335 --> 00:21:38,006
And no matter how many
great players you bring together,
422
00:21:38,006 --> 00:21:41,634
how many people are excited
to wear your colors,
423
00:21:41,634 --> 00:21:45,805
that actually takes time to cultivate.
424
00:21:58,609 --> 00:21:59,861
Today's Thanksgiving.
425
00:21:59,861 --> 00:22:01,612
What are we thankful today for?
426
00:22:01,612 --> 00:22:03,197
- [all] Family.
- Family.
427
00:22:03,197 --> 00:22:05,116
- What else?
- [player] Football.
428
00:22:05,116 --> 00:22:06,367
Football.
429
00:22:06,367 --> 00:22:07,618
Who said that?
430
00:22:07,618 --> 00:22:08,911
Football. Amen.
431
00:22:09,912 --> 00:22:11,664
Our faith.
432
00:22:11,664 --> 00:22:13,166
Friends.
433
00:22:14,792 --> 00:22:16,961
What about the food
we're gonna consume a little later?
434
00:22:16,961 --> 00:22:21,090
[all laugh]
435
00:22:21,090 --> 00:22:22,300
[Coach Prime]
What else we got, fellas?
436
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:23,593
Each other?
437
00:22:24,802 --> 00:22:25,678
[player]
Hell yeah.
438
00:22:26,679 --> 00:22:28,056
Each other.
439
00:22:30,391 --> 00:22:34,395
Some things you just take for granted
I don't want you to take for granted.
440
00:22:34,395 --> 00:22:38,816
We're playing a game
that's measured by wins and losses,
441
00:22:38,816 --> 00:22:42,278
and some of us are determining
our lives based on the game.
442
00:22:42,278 --> 00:22:44,197
You understand that, right?
443
00:22:44,197 --> 00:22:50,203
So, make sure you prioritize
some things in life that are dear.
444
00:22:50,203 --> 00:22:54,332
Let's have a great day,
and let's unite even closer today.
445
00:22:54,332 --> 00:22:56,334
- We're good?
- [all] Yes, sir.
446
00:22:59,128 --> 00:23:02,298
[indistinct chatter]
447
00:23:10,348 --> 00:23:11,224
How you feeling?
448
00:23:11,224 --> 00:23:14,852
Hurting.
I ain't feeling good, bro.
449
00:23:16,854 --> 00:23:20,191
How you feel about the season?
How do you feel about this?
450
00:23:20,191 --> 00:23:21,651
It's our last game.
451
00:23:22,318 --> 00:23:24,362
We gotta come back next year
and figure it out.
452
00:23:25,947 --> 00:23:27,031
Yeah, I know you hate not playing
453
00:23:27,031 --> 00:23:29,408
because you don't like
to leave them stranded.
454
00:23:30,368 --> 00:23:33,788
Yeah. I wanna play,
but I just can't, like, physically.
455
00:23:34,997 --> 00:23:36,207
Ain't no chance.
456
00:23:37,208 --> 00:23:39,585
Just physically unable, brah.
457
00:23:39,585 --> 00:23:42,839
[man] I got you.
We just gotta get Staub ready.
458
00:23:45,675 --> 00:23:47,802
[Pat] That's why you gotta
put it up high, right?
459
00:23:47,802 --> 00:23:49,554
Hey, repeat, repeat.
460
00:23:49,554 --> 00:23:53,516
Shedeur's not gonna be able to go,
but that gives Ryan Staub
461
00:23:53,516 --> 00:23:56,727
a great opportunity to go out and put
a winning performance on the field.
462
00:23:59,856 --> 00:24:02,859
Sixteen, we gotta show him
what he's capable of doing.
463
00:24:02,859 --> 00:24:03,985
[Pat] Right.
464
00:24:03,985 --> 00:24:05,069
Go.
465
00:24:05,903 --> 00:24:09,740
[Pat] There it is. I love that one.
There it is.
466
00:24:09,740 --> 00:24:12,785
[Jimmy] Shedeur wanna win
and not only win, he wanna be great at it.
467
00:24:12,785 --> 00:24:16,497
But if he's down, sometimes key players
go down, you know.
468
00:24:16,497 --> 00:24:18,499
Everybody just all that next man up.
469
00:24:18,499 --> 00:24:19,959
[Pat]
Get up, get your tap.
470
00:24:19,959 --> 00:24:21,169
[Jimmy]
At the end of the day,
471
00:24:21,169 --> 00:24:23,004
we the players out there
playing on the field.
472
00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:29,260
Ryan's had a great week of practice.
I feel like he knows what the plan is.
473
00:24:29,260 --> 00:24:32,555
I think the players around him this week
have executed in practice,
474
00:24:32,555 --> 00:24:37,226
so it's a great opportunity for them
to go out and show us what they can do.
475
00:24:37,226 --> 00:24:41,147
[man] Give it to him.
Run, run, run, run, run! Score!
476
00:24:42,565 --> 00:24:44,984
[Xavier] You can't keep dwelling
on what we did in the past.
477
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:46,569
You gotta go on to that future.
478
00:24:46,569 --> 00:24:49,363
{\an8}If you're going into another game
thinking about the game last week,
479
00:24:49,363 --> 00:24:51,073
{\an8}that can affect your game
for the next week.
480
00:24:51,073 --> 00:24:53,451
So, you just gotta come together
and flip that page
481
00:24:53,451 --> 00:24:55,119
and live where your feet is at.
482
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,412
Tighter, tighter, tighter.
483
00:24:57,496 --> 00:25:02,376
You don't wanna end this season
on two really down notes.
484
00:25:02,376 --> 00:25:06,505
So, getting blown out against Utah
would be really harmful for this team.
485
00:25:08,674 --> 00:25:10,676
This is going to show
what they really have,
486
00:25:10,676 --> 00:25:12,303
what kind of foundation they have.
487
00:25:14,805 --> 00:25:17,308
They're gonna be tested
to see if they can come together
488
00:25:17,308 --> 00:25:20,394
without their biggest on-the-field leader
and put a performance together.
489
00:25:20,394 --> 00:25:24,523
[indistinct chatter]
490
00:25:25,441 --> 00:25:26,484
[man]
Coach, you okay?
491
00:25:26,484 --> 00:25:27,777
I'm just hurting.
492
00:25:27,777 --> 00:25:30,071
Just real stiff,
and it's hurting right now.
493
00:25:32,740 --> 00:25:34,825
[Ryan] They need to go out there,
play for pride,
494
00:25:34,825 --> 00:25:38,162
and give this fan base
a reason to continue believing,
495
00:25:38,162 --> 00:25:39,455
going into the off-season.
496
00:25:51,259 --> 00:25:52,468
[crowd cheering]
497
00:25:52,468 --> 00:25:54,428
[Mark] We come to you
from Rice-Eccles Stadium,
498
00:25:54,428 --> 00:25:56,222
where today
it's the Rumble in the Rockies.
499
00:25:56,222 --> 00:25:58,599
The Buffaloes at 4-7.
500
00:25:58,599 --> 00:26:00,059
They have lost five in a row.
501
00:26:00,059 --> 00:26:03,813
As Coach Prime said this week,
they wanna end on an exclamation point.
502
00:26:03,813 --> 00:26:07,149
They've got a chance against their rivals
here in the Rocky Mountains,
503
00:26:07,149 --> 00:26:09,151
that being the Utes of Utah.
504
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,322
[Coach Prime]
First time I'm ever playing without you.
505
00:26:13,322 --> 00:26:14,448
You've played without me.
506
00:26:14,448 --> 00:26:16,534
Make this be the last.
507
00:26:16,534 --> 00:26:18,619
We ain't doing this no more.
508
00:26:19,912 --> 00:26:20,913
All right?
509
00:26:26,085 --> 00:26:28,129
[Mark] Well, you got guys out there,
Gary, that have taken
510
00:26:28,129 --> 00:26:31,173
virtually no snaps
or none at quarterback.
511
00:26:31,173 --> 00:26:33,426
This should be kind of interesting.
I'm not sure what to expect.
512
00:26:33,426 --> 00:26:35,761
[commentator] Well, you know, you get
to the last game of the year, Mark,
513
00:26:35,761 --> 00:26:37,263
this is the kind of thing that happens.
514
00:26:37,263 --> 00:26:38,764
You still gotta play the game.
515
00:26:41,642 --> 00:26:43,519
[Mark]
The quarterback, Ryan Staub,
516
00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:45,813
six-foot-one, 200-pound freshman.
517
00:26:45,813 --> 00:26:49,317
He's played sparingly
but did get quite a few snaps last week
518
00:26:49,317 --> 00:26:51,736
against Washington State
when Shedeur Sanders went down.
519
00:26:53,446 --> 00:26:55,197
Off the left hip
and Staub drops to throw.
520
00:26:55,197 --> 00:26:56,741
Looks to his right,
whips it out there.
521
00:26:56,741 --> 00:26:58,826
The grab is made
and it's a first down.
522
00:26:58,826 --> 00:27:00,619
Good-looking pass there by number 16.
523
00:27:00,619 --> 00:27:03,122
[commentator] Good-looking pass,
good-looking protection that time, Mark.
524
00:27:03,122 --> 00:27:05,291
He's gonna have to get rid
of the ball quickly.
525
00:27:05,291 --> 00:27:06,959
[Mark]
Shotgun, Staub takes the snap.
526
00:27:07,710 --> 00:27:09,962
Got hit from behind,
ball comes loose.
527
00:27:09,962 --> 00:27:12,381
And it's recovered by Utah.
528
00:27:12,381 --> 00:27:13,674
Pulling out to the right.
529
00:27:13,674 --> 00:27:16,302
Bottari tucks,
goes to the end zone, dives.
530
00:27:16,302 --> 00:27:17,720
Touchdown.
531
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,183
{\an8}They haven't thrown one darn pass, man.
This is pathetic, man!
532
00:27:22,183 --> 00:27:24,727
[Mark]
And the Utes after the Buffs' turnover
533
00:27:24,727 --> 00:27:27,396
turn it into a short drive and a score.
534
00:27:27,396 --> 00:27:29,482
I got to just chill,
535
00:27:29,482 --> 00:27:30,399
sit...
536
00:27:31,275 --> 00:27:33,903
[crowd cheering]
537
00:27:34,695 --> 00:27:35,529
[Mark]
Quick throw.
538
00:27:35,529 --> 00:27:36,739
- A double pass.
- [commentator] Double pass.
539
00:27:36,739 --> 00:27:38,032
[Mark] Caught by Jimmy.
He's gonna whip it downfield.
540
00:27:38,032 --> 00:27:41,035
Dillon's down there.
Makes the grab at the two-yard line!
541
00:27:41,035 --> 00:27:43,829
{\an8}End zone! Touchdown!
542
00:27:43,829 --> 00:27:46,082
{\an8}Touchdown, Colorado!
543
00:27:46,082 --> 00:27:48,417
Oh, little trickeration for the Buffaloes!
544
00:27:48,417 --> 00:27:52,880
Dog, good call. Good call. Good call.
Good call. Good call. Good call.
545
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,133
[indistinct chatter]
546
00:27:56,133 --> 00:27:57,885
[Mark]
Looks, rifles it down the right side.
547
00:27:57,885 --> 00:28:01,430
Travis is out there, dives,
makes the grab in the end zone!
548
00:28:01,430 --> 00:28:05,267
Touchdown!
Touchdown, Colorado!
549
00:28:05,267 --> 00:28:08,646
Number 12, Travis Hunter,
does it again.
550
00:28:08,646 --> 00:28:10,773
[commentator] Staubs, he's sort of
getting the hang of this whole thing.
551
00:28:10,773 --> 00:28:13,275
[official] Ruling on the field,
the touchdown is under review.
552
00:28:13,275 --> 00:28:15,194
[Mark]
So, they'll take a look at this one
553
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:17,613
to make sure that he had control.
554
00:28:17,613 --> 00:28:20,866
After review,
the receiver lost control of the ball.
555
00:28:20,866 --> 00:28:24,412
It's an incomplete pass.
It'll be fourth down.
556
00:28:24,412 --> 00:28:27,164
[Coach Prime] That's bad, man.
You guys are bad, man.
557
00:28:27,164 --> 00:28:28,916
Field goal, field goal.
558
00:28:28,916 --> 00:28:31,168
No, no! Mata!
559
00:28:31,168 --> 00:28:32,670
It's too far, Coach.
560
00:28:32,670 --> 00:28:34,213
Mata!
561
00:28:36,340 --> 00:28:37,967
Make it. Make it.
562
00:28:37,967 --> 00:28:40,052
[Mark]
Take the touchdown off the board.
563
00:28:40,052 --> 00:28:42,972
Alejandro Mata is coming out now
for a field goal attempt,
564
00:28:42,972 --> 00:28:45,015
a 47-yard field goal.
565
00:28:45,015 --> 00:28:48,602
This season,
the longest that Mata has hit is 43.
566
00:28:48,602 --> 00:28:50,104
Come on, Alejandro.
567
00:28:50,104 --> 00:28:52,022
Snap, put down,
swings the right leg.
568
00:28:52,022 --> 00:28:55,651
{\an8}Kick is up, it is on its way,
and it is...
569
00:28:55,651 --> 00:28:57,403
{\an8}good by Alejandro Mata.
570
00:28:57,403 --> 00:28:59,447
- Good call, Coach.
- Foot down, Mata.
571
00:28:59,447 --> 00:29:03,033
Foot down, Mata.
No doubt there, Mata.
572
00:29:03,868 --> 00:29:04,702
Aah!
573
00:29:04,702 --> 00:29:05,703
Appreciate you, Coach.
574
00:29:05,703 --> 00:29:06,620
I believe in you, boy.
575
00:29:06,620 --> 00:29:07,705
I believe in you!
576
00:29:09,206 --> 00:29:11,459
[Mark] Under center,
quarterback keeper for Bottari.
577
00:29:11,459 --> 00:29:12,543
Good push up front.
578
00:29:13,544 --> 00:29:15,379
{\an8}Finally get the signal.
Touchdown, Utah.
579
00:29:18,549 --> 00:29:22,761
You just can't give up a sack, okay?
You're doing a great job, yeah. Good job.
580
00:29:24,013 --> 00:29:25,723
[Mark]
Seven and a half to play in the fourth.
581
00:29:25,723 --> 00:29:27,808
Snap to Staub, sets,
throws over the middle.
582
00:29:27,808 --> 00:29:28,976
Grab is made by Travis.
583
00:29:28,976 --> 00:29:32,354
Turns upfield! End zone! Touchdown!
584
00:29:32,354 --> 00:29:34,773
{\an8}Touchdown, Colorado!
585
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:39,028
{\an8}And Ryan Staub
with his first collegiate touchdown.
586
00:29:39,028 --> 00:29:40,321
Great job.
587
00:29:40,321 --> 00:29:43,699
[Mark] 23-17, Utah.
6:35 to play in the fourth.
588
00:29:43,699 --> 00:29:46,118
Third and one
from the 34-yard line.
589
00:29:46,118 --> 00:29:47,161
And a quarterback sneak.
590
00:29:47,161 --> 00:29:48,829
Got a good push up front.
591
00:29:48,829 --> 00:29:50,748
And they got the first down
and then some.
592
00:29:50,748 --> 00:29:53,083
[commentator] This is a classic example
of being able to run it
593
00:29:53,083 --> 00:29:54,168
when you have to run it.
594
00:29:54,168 --> 00:29:55,419
- [Mark] Yep.
- [commentator] And you wanna run it.
595
00:29:55,419 --> 00:29:58,756
[Mark] They burned almost
six minutes off the clock.
596
00:29:59,924 --> 00:30:02,384
{\an8}So, the Buffs' season's
gonna come to an end.
597
00:30:02,384 --> 00:30:05,679
{\an8}The Utes win the season finale
598
00:30:05,679 --> 00:30:09,099
{\an8}in the last Pac-12 game
the Buffs will play.
599
00:30:09,099 --> 00:30:11,393
They had a couple tough calls
go against the Buffaloes,
600
00:30:11,393 --> 00:30:15,523
but they end up falling today, 23-17.
601
00:30:15,523 --> 00:30:17,733
And year number one
for Coach Prime and the Buffaloes
602
00:30:17,733 --> 00:30:19,026
comes to an end.
603
00:30:25,574 --> 00:30:27,701
[Coach Prime]
Hey, fellas, there was no quitting.
604
00:30:29,161 --> 00:30:31,997
You guys played your butt off.
You fought hard to the very durn end.
605
00:30:31,997 --> 00:30:32,915
And I'm proud of you.
606
00:30:32,915 --> 00:30:37,378
You have nothing, you have nothing
to hang your head down with.
607
00:30:37,378 --> 00:30:41,966
One thing about the Boulder faithful,
you gave them all hope.
608
00:30:41,966 --> 00:30:45,761
And they cannot wait till tomorrow
and the next day and the next day
609
00:30:45,761 --> 00:30:47,096
to see what we build.
610
00:30:47,096 --> 00:30:48,222
I'm proud of y'all, man.
611
00:30:50,516 --> 00:30:51,725
That's it, my boy.
612
00:30:53,102 --> 00:30:55,437
[Coach Prime] Make sure you give
your coaches a hug. Give them some love.
613
00:30:55,437 --> 00:30:58,023
Have a talk with one of your teammates
and just let them know how you feel.
614
00:31:02,736 --> 00:31:05,739
[indistinct chatter]
615
00:31:12,496 --> 00:31:14,331
[Travis grunts, box rips]
616
00:31:18,961 --> 00:31:19,795
All right.
617
00:31:21,130 --> 00:31:23,048
[Travis] Oh, it is a white tree,
so it's kind of good to be up here.
618
00:31:23,048 --> 00:31:26,051
[Leanna] Yeah, I know.
And it's blue lights. It matches.
619
00:31:26,051 --> 00:31:29,138
I'll build this. You do the rest.
620
00:31:30,222 --> 00:31:33,017
[Travis] Season's wrapped up now,
so the off-season for me is pretty much,
621
00:31:33,017 --> 00:31:37,271
I took, what, a day off,
two days off, after the game Saturday.
622
00:31:37,271 --> 00:31:38,981
Went back to the gym
with my girlfriend today,
623
00:31:38,981 --> 00:31:40,357
so I'm gonna be working out still.
624
00:31:40,357 --> 00:31:43,944
{\an8}Oh, I thought it stood by itself.
625
00:31:43,944 --> 00:31:47,489
{\an8}Hold on, undo this real quick
while I plug up the lights.
626
00:31:47,489 --> 00:31:51,076
Now, on the 2023 season,
we didn't get what we wanted.
627
00:31:51,076 --> 00:31:54,913
I mean, we tried our best to get
a lot of guys to come in as one,
628
00:31:54,913 --> 00:31:59,585
and that's kind of hard to do,
knowing that we got a lot of talent,
629
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:01,337
but we wasn't able to put it all together
630
00:32:01,337 --> 00:32:03,047
and have years under our belt
with the coaches.
631
00:32:03,047 --> 00:32:06,592
So, we just gotta do better
next year with bonding.
632
00:32:07,426 --> 00:32:08,969
Wait, no, I gotta admit, I can't reach it.
633
00:32:08,969 --> 00:32:11,388
Yeah, you wanna do the top,
but you probably can reach it.
634
00:32:11,388 --> 00:32:12,306
You ain't that short.
635
00:32:12,306 --> 00:32:16,101
Next season, I'm same play style.
It's gonna be the same thing for me.
636
00:32:16,101 --> 00:32:18,771
I love to be on the football field,
playing and competing with my brothers.
637
00:32:18,771 --> 00:32:21,315
So, that's my main thing,
is to go out there and compete,
638
00:32:21,315 --> 00:32:24,985
and I wanna be able to do that
on both sides of the ball at all times.
639
00:32:24,985 --> 00:32:26,445
[Leanna]
I know what I can get you for Christmas.
640
00:32:26,445 --> 00:32:27,363
[Travis] What?
641
00:32:27,363 --> 00:32:29,573
I'm gonna buy all your cleats
for next year.
642
00:32:29,573 --> 00:32:30,491
Oh.
643
00:32:30,491 --> 00:32:31,825
For Christmas.
644
00:32:31,825 --> 00:32:33,285
I'm gonna get them all pre-made.
645
00:32:33,285 --> 00:32:34,578
[Travis]
No, I don't want them pre-made.
646
00:32:34,578 --> 00:32:36,747
- [Leanna] No?
- [Travis] No, I like as we go.
647
00:32:36,747 --> 00:32:38,582
'Cause we come up
with different things as we go.
648
00:32:38,582 --> 00:32:41,752
So, like, if you get them all pre-made,
it's not gonna be right.
649
00:32:41,752 --> 00:32:43,045
You used the whole box already?
650
00:32:43,045 --> 00:32:44,463
- Yeah.
- Dang.
651
00:32:45,422 --> 00:32:49,677
[Travis] Most about the 2024 season
is we get another chance to play football,
652
00:32:49,677 --> 00:32:52,346
get another chance to go out there
and become a winning team.
653
00:32:52,346 --> 00:32:54,139
I'm looking forward for a bowl game.
654
00:32:54,139 --> 00:32:56,350
Hopefully, get
to the national championship.
655
00:32:56,350 --> 00:32:57,643
Just go out there and work.
656
00:33:03,732 --> 00:33:06,110
All right. I'm gonna drive you.
657
00:33:11,031 --> 00:33:14,243
[Coach Prime] You and everybody
in the country know what we need to do.
658
00:33:14,243 --> 00:33:16,787
You know what
the first order of business is.
659
00:33:16,787 --> 00:33:18,706
- O-line, D-line.
- Thank you, sir.
660
00:33:20,457 --> 00:33:21,375
O-line, D-line.
661
00:33:21,375 --> 00:33:25,337
- [Coach Prime] Then linebackers.
- [Andre] Then linebackers. Yes, Lord.
662
00:33:25,337 --> 00:33:29,466
But you know what?
This year, we're going after all starters.
663
00:33:29,466 --> 00:33:31,051
Mm.
664
00:33:31,051 --> 00:33:34,555
Like, started.
They've gotta have been a starter.
665
00:33:34,555 --> 00:33:38,308
College football has changed, man.
Ain't nothing free anymore.
666
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,524
This past season
was the season of hope.
667
00:33:46,817 --> 00:33:48,652
We instilled hope
668
00:33:48,652 --> 00:33:52,906
in everybody that had
anything to do with CU football.
669
00:33:52,906 --> 00:33:54,533
Like, now, they, is not...
670
00:33:54,533 --> 00:33:57,035
It wasn't one game
that they didn't have hope.
671
00:33:59,830 --> 00:34:02,916
I was having a good conversation
with our new, uh...
672
00:34:02,916 --> 00:34:05,043
Commissioner of the Big 12.
673
00:34:05,711 --> 00:34:10,549
He said, a lot of people
were coming to him, asking him...
674
00:34:10,549 --> 00:34:16,054
Why are you so excited about Colorado?
675
00:34:16,054 --> 00:34:18,640
And the potential that a--
676
00:34:19,349 --> 00:34:23,020
Head Coach could be leaving
to go elsewhere.
677
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:24,646
He said, Oh, no!
678
00:34:25,439 --> 00:34:27,941
I never worry about him leaving.
679
00:34:28,525 --> 00:34:30,903
He's not that type of guy.
680
00:34:30,903 --> 00:34:35,407
He said, because he builds legacies,
he don't inherit them.
681
00:34:35,824 --> 00:34:36,825
I said...
682
00:34:36,825 --> 00:34:40,162
ooh-wee!
683
00:34:48,337 --> 00:34:53,258
[clears throat] We talk about
the characteristics all the time
684
00:34:53,258 --> 00:34:54,802
of what we want this team to look like.
685
00:34:54,802 --> 00:34:56,553
Why not put a grade to it?
686
00:34:57,971 --> 00:34:59,264
And can we?
687
00:34:59,848 --> 00:35:05,354
Can you you put a number, one to five,
on how fast the kid is?
688
00:35:05,354 --> 00:35:07,940
That's something that's objective.
689
00:35:09,483 --> 00:35:12,694
And then two, is it us,
or do we let the coaches do it?
690
00:35:14,238 --> 00:35:17,366
Recruiting is always fascinating,
especially now in the portal era.
691
00:35:18,909 --> 00:35:22,120
There's a lot of steps
that go into being a competitive team
692
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,831
to being a championship team.
693
00:35:23,831 --> 00:35:28,043
So, right there on that front left,
we'll put what our needs are.
694
00:35:28,043 --> 00:35:31,505
We know how many O-linemen we need,
how many in each position.
695
00:35:31,505 --> 00:35:37,094
As we continue to attain talent,
those needs will just come off
696
00:35:37,094 --> 00:35:39,596
until we don't have
any more positional needs.
697
00:35:43,058 --> 00:35:45,561
[Coach Prime] At the beginning
of the season, the cupboard was empty.
698
00:35:45,561 --> 00:35:46,687
We had nothing.
699
00:35:46,687 --> 00:35:51,233
But now you have more of a keen sense
of understanding what you have
700
00:35:51,233 --> 00:35:52,317
and what you lack.
701
00:35:53,819 --> 00:35:55,904
[Yogi]
Now it's about getting those players
702
00:35:55,904 --> 00:36:00,534
and then truly dropping
roots into this community.
703
00:36:00,534 --> 00:36:01,535
Okay.
704
00:36:02,828 --> 00:36:03,704
This is therapeutic, bro.
705
00:36:12,838 --> 00:36:15,048
[Rick] You know,
as I look back on the year,
706
00:36:15,048 --> 00:36:17,050
would we like a few more wins?
707
00:36:17,050 --> 00:36:22,055
Yes, but the energy that Coach Prime
708
00:36:22,055 --> 00:36:25,934
has brought to our fan base
and our community is significant.
709
00:36:25,934 --> 00:36:26,852
[crowd cheering]
710
00:36:26,852 --> 00:36:28,395
[man]
I can't get over this crowd, first of all.
711
00:36:28,395 --> 00:36:29,980
[Coach Prime]
Oh, my God, this is unbelievable.
712
00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:33,400
This is unbelievable.
Look at this. Look at this.
713
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,360
- [whistle blows]
- [hip hop music playing]
714
00:36:36,403 --> 00:36:39,573
Deion Sanders is not just a coach.
715
00:36:39,573 --> 00:36:40,991
We ain't coming no more.
716
00:36:40,991 --> 00:36:43,243
[all] We here!
717
00:36:43,243 --> 00:36:45,704
Things that we're trying to do here
is bigger than wins and losses.
718
00:36:45,704 --> 00:36:47,164
[all cheer]
719
00:36:47,164 --> 00:36:49,917
[woman] When you talk about Deion Sanders
and the excitement...
720
00:36:49,917 --> 00:36:53,712
All recruits,
did you hear what he said?
721
00:36:53,712 --> 00:36:55,088
[all laugh]
722
00:36:55,088 --> 00:36:58,050
[woman]
...the fun, and, you know, the fashion
723
00:36:58,050 --> 00:37:00,052
that he's bringing to college football.
724
00:37:00,052 --> 00:37:02,012
[Coach Prime]
Put them on if you can, please.
725
00:37:03,180 --> 00:37:04,181
[man]
It's Deion.
726
00:37:04,181 --> 00:37:06,725
Not only is he changing the coach,
he's bringing the coach with him.
727
00:37:06,725 --> 00:37:08,143
[all cheer]
728
00:37:08,143 --> 00:37:11,605
[Coach Prime] I think a multitude
of people believed from day one.
729
00:37:11,605 --> 00:37:13,106
A multitude didn't.
730
00:37:13,106 --> 00:37:16,485
The love and the hate,
that's what makes us who we are.
731
00:37:16,485 --> 00:37:18,946
Thank you. I love you.
732
00:37:18,946 --> 00:37:21,031
- [whistle blows]
- [all] Whoo!
733
00:37:21,031 --> 00:37:23,033
Being a part of,
like, the restoration
734
00:37:23,033 --> 00:37:25,911
within this season has been wonderful.
735
00:37:26,662 --> 00:37:29,665
We're close to having success,
we just ain't found a way to do it yet.
736
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:33,794
I'd rather have high expectations
than no expectations.
737
00:37:33,794 --> 00:37:36,046
So, we just gotta stay focused,
stay patient.
738
00:37:37,798 --> 00:37:40,217
[Coach Prime]
This season was more of a hope.
739
00:37:40,217 --> 00:37:45,847
And, although record-wise,
we may have not reached our goals.
740
00:37:47,182 --> 00:37:51,103
But there's a lot of goals
that we did reach.
741
00:37:51,103 --> 00:37:55,607
Next season, it's expectations,
742
00:37:55,607 --> 00:37:59,319
and I cannot wait to see
743
00:37:59,319 --> 00:38:02,406
what we put on the field next season.
744
00:38:03,991 --> 00:38:07,911
["Halftime"

745
00:38:11,999 --> 00:38:17,045
Jordan Seaton, next year
you will attend, dot, dot, dot,
746
00:38:17,045 --> 00:38:18,130
which school?
747
00:38:18,130 --> 00:38:21,466
The University of Colorado.

{\an8}If you ain't rocking with us
and you claim you're a dog,
