The Buffs picked up right where they left off before the bye week. After a few blips in the first quarter against Texas Tech, Deion Sanders and Colorado continued to roll, picking up a 41-27 victory Saturday to improve to 7-2.

Like they did over the bye, the Buffs got some more help around the Big 12 over the weekend. Iowa State dropped its second straight game, this time against Kansas, leaving Colorado in sole possession of second place in the conference race. CU is now three wins away from a trip to Jerry World for the Big 12 title game.

Now, Sanders and company turn their attention to Utah, which is coming off of a heartbreaking loss against its arch rival, BYU, on Saturday. The Utes have beaten the Buffs seven consecutive times, so CU will be looking to reverse that trend on Saturday.

Tuesday, Deion Sanders spoke to the media during his weekly press conference. Here are the biggest talking points from what the CU head coach had to say.

The Buffs are fairly healthy at this point in the season, but are still dealing with a few nagging injuries at some key spots. Wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. left the Texas Tech game early due to a lower body injury after dealing with a knee issue earlier this season, and Deion Sanders said he is currently day-to-day but didn’t practice Tuesday.

Defensive tackle Shane Cokes also didn’t play on Saturday after suffering an injury before the bye against Cincinnati. Sanders didn’t sound overly optimistic about Cokes returning on Saturday, but is very confident that he will be back this season.

“You’re definitely gonna see him this season,” Sanders said. “I don’t know about this week, but you’re definitely gonna see him this season. Especially with the Shane Cokes I know.”
