Deion Sanders’ Shocking Clock Blunder: Did It Cost Colorado the Game Against Georgia Tech?
Ever watch a game where the clock ticks down, the tension’s thick, and yet somehow the coach acts like he’s got all the time in the world? That was the scene last night as Deion Sanders couldn’t bring himself to burn two precious timeouts in a nail-biter against Georgia Tech—leading to a heartbreaking 27-20 loss for Colorado. Fans? Yeah, they noticed. Social media lit up with disbelief and a dash of outrage. Is it just a one-off blunder, or a deeper issue with Sanders’ grasp on the fundamentals of clock management? Despite the setbacks, the Buffaloes did showcase some promise, with Kaidon Slater notching his first touchdown pass and a solid run game led by Micah Welch earning props from Sanders himself. But with criticism mounting—from former players to anonymous NFL execs—this loss might just be a startling symptom of larger cracks in the foundation of a program trying to find its rhythm. So, what’s next for Deion and Colorado? Only time — and a better grasp of the clock — will tell. LEARN MORE
Even though Deion Sanders said Colorado will be OK following a loss to Georgia Tech, some aren’t buying it.
The Buffaloes lost 27-20 and Sanders failed to use the two remaining timeouts late in the game. Georgia Tech broke a 20-20 tie after a 45-yard touchdown run by QB Haynes King.
Colorado had a chance to even things up with less than a minute to play. However, QB Kaidon Slater wasn’t able to pull it off or convert on a 61-yard pass attempt to Dre’lon Miller.
As this was happening, Sanders refused to use the two remaining timeouts, and the clock eventually ran out.
Afterwards, fans took their ire out at Sanders on social media.
“Deion Sanders still doesn’t understand basic clock management. Incredible.” @ReichelRadio posted on X.

Another user posted a meme of Homer Simpson whistling to say that Sanders wasn’t paying attention, essentially.

Then one other user posted a sarcastic remark.
“Thank you Deion Sanders for that clock management at the end” @GT GOLD/WHITE posted on X.
Though the loss was frustrating, there were some bright spots for Colorado. Kaidon Slater threw his first touchdown pass for the program as a transfer from Liberty University.
Furthermore, Sanders gave credit to RB Micah Welch for his performance. He rushed for 64 yards on 11 carries.
The criticisms of Deion Sanders as head coach
Since becoming the head coach at Colorado, Sanders has faced his fair share of criticism. Despite the success of the program in recent years.
Anonymous NFL executives have claimed that Sanders doesn’t possesses the necessary fundamentals to coaching.
Former Colorado players openly criticized Sanders for not getting to know them once they left the program.
Then there were the allegations of favoritism towards his son Sheduer Sanders when he played and was the starting QB. Also, there is the tempestuous relationship Sanders has with the media.
So not using the clock properly in a tight game is by no means an isolated incident.
