Deion Sanders calls out critics of Travis Hunter's snap count

Deion Sanders is always good for an awesome quote or two following a victory, and it was no different after Colorado defeated Nebraska on Saturday.

The Buffaloes finished off the Cornhuskers, sending Nebraska packing with a 36-14 drubbing to improve to 2-0 on the season. Much of the talk surrounded Colorado’s two-way star Travis Hunter once again, and the amount of snaps he played on both sides of the football.

While some may worry about Hunter’s health after being on the field for almost the entire game, Sanders responded to critics of the way his star is being used with the quote of the weekend.

“You gotta understand, everybody who was critical of that and saying he’s gonna tire, I mean, shoot, they can’t cook and answer the phone at the same time,” Sanders said. “I don’t subscribe to that foolishness.”

When he puts it like that, how could you make an argument? That’s a masterful way to shut down the noise from Coach Prime, who certainly knows how to work the media.

If anyone is suited for doing what’s best for Travis Hunter as he plays on both sides of the football for Colorado, it’s Deion Sanders. The trust is there, as Sanders has been there before, and everything is coming up golden for the Buffaloes at the moment.

Deion Sanders’ message to recruits after Nebraska win: ‘Success ain’t hard to find’

Meanwhile, Deion Sanders sent another loud message to recruits after Colorado took down Nebraska 36-14 to improve to 2-0 on the season.

First, it was a road upset of TCU and then a home sellout win over an old Big 12 rival. In just two weeks, Sanders turned a doormat program around in what seems to be a blink of an eye.

For those recruits who want success, well, Sanders said it’s right in front of them.

“Success ain’t hard to find,” Sanders said postgame. “That’s what it says. The thing about it, you go to recruit to analyze everything because I analyze stuff when I recruit. They are sitting out there seeing and I understand every position is saying ‘I can do that. I can play for them, I can do that right now.’ The atmosphere on top of that, you don’t have to sell Boulder, Boulder sells itself. 

“We’re not selling anything, we’re not promising anything, we’re just giving them the opportunity to earn a tremendous education and a tremendous opportunity to get to the next level which is the NFL, if they come play for us. But it’d be tough to turn us down if I was a recruit, especially if I was a parent.”
