Colorado football had been the talk of the college football world up until a few weeks ago, when a Michigan football sign-stealing investigation took center stage and Coach Deion Sanders' team began piling up the losses.

Colorado football came into Saturday's game against the UCLA Bruins with a 4-3 record compared to a 5-2 record for UCLA football.

Recently Sanders' manager dropped a truth bomb on the Colorado football coach's rumored future in the NFL. Colorado was listed as one of five teams total that desperately needed a win in Week 9.

On Saturday, star defensive back Travis Hunter made a play that few expected against the Bruins in California.

Hunter made a diving catch on a pass that resembled his illustrious head coach, Deion ‘Coach Prime' Sanders.

“He completes this team,” one fan said. “Without him they play so much worse.”
