Deion Sanders responds to Dan Lanning after Oregon blasts Colorado: ‘You better get me right now’

Colorado coach Deion Sanders took his medicine Saturday. On the hand, Coach Prime sent a message to those throwing jabs after he and his Buffaloes lost to Oregon 42-6.

“You better get me right now,” Sanders said. “This is the worst we’re gonna be. You better get me right now.”

Sanders called it a “good old-fashioned butt-kicking.”

Oregon coach Dan Lanning made headline before and during the game.

“The Cinderella story is over, man,” Lanning told his players. “They’re fighting for clicks. We’re fighting for wins. There’s a difference, right? There’s a difference. This game ain’t gonna be played in Hollywood. It’s gonna be played on the grass.”

Sanders was asked about the comments after the game.

“Yeah, I got messages,” Sander said. “God bless him, though, man. He’s a great coach. He did a great job. God bless him. Take their shots. They won. I don’t shoot. They won.”

Bo Nix threw for 276 yards and three touchdowns and No. 10 Oregon dominated No. 19 Buffaloes from the start. Troy Franklin caught eight passes for 126 yards and two scores for Oregon (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12), which has opened the season with four straight wins for just the second time since 2014.

Buffs quarterback Shedeur Sanders was held to 159 passing yards after averaging more than 400 going into the game.

“I don’t say stuff just to say it, for a click, contrary to what somebody said,” Deion Sanders said, referring to Lanning’s. “I keep receipts.”

Sanders turned around a Colorado program that won just one game last year, bringing aboard 67 new scholarship players and opening the season with wins over TCU, Nebraska and last weekend’s double-overtime thriller against Colorado State.

“Teams are trying to beat me,” Sanders said. “They’re not trying to beat our team. They keep forgetting I’m not playing anymore. I had a great career…. That’s what it really is. I signed up for it, so let’s go.”
