In the FOX Big Noon Kickoff against the USC Trojans, Colorado was on the brink of Betting on College Football destruction. Yet they rallied to make the game respectable. Still, it was a Colorado loss for the second consecutive week. Now, the debate about Coach Prime continues to rage. Deion Sanders has been a net positive for the Colorado Buffaloes. The Buffs sold out all their games for the first time in history. And they still have a legitimate shot at a bowl game. But the Buffs have one of the worst defenses in college football.
