The Buffaloes did not seem prepared for the game at all, and to make matters worse, it seems they were overconfident as well.
No. 20 Colorado walked into a hornet's nest Saturday night in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The Buffaloes did not seem prepared for the game at all, and to make matters worse, it seems they were overconfident as well. This is evidenced by Buffaloes safety Shilo Sanders' pregame comments that were recently revealed in a video on Nebraska's social media accounts. In the video, Sanders can be heard saying some unsavory things to Nebraska's players at midfield during the coin toss.
"We about to roll your as**s," Sanders said. "Boy, you know we about to to roll you, bruh."
Some of the Husker players can be heard responding by saying, "Yeah, all right."
The Buffaloes did not end up "rolling" Nebraska, not even close. Instead, they got rolled in front of a rowdy Memorial Stadium crowd that was hungry for a big win. To make matters worse for Colorado, Sanders left the game with a forearm injury and is expected to miss two to three weeks recovering from the injury. He also had surgery to repair the damage done to his arm.
The Buffaloes had no answers in the first half for Nebraska on offense or defense. They could not stop Husker quarterback Dylan Raiola or anyone else on the Nebraska offense as the Huskers raced out to a 28-0 halftime lead. They also helped Nebraska score more points when Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw a costly pick-six that ended up being a back-breaking play.
This audio from before the game only adds to what was a nightmarish evening for Colorado in Memorial Stadium. Meanwhile, Nebraska got its biggest win of the season so far and made a national statement.
