The Colorado Buffaloes suffered a surprising 46-43 loss to Stanford Cardinal on Saturday, October 14, despite being tipped as favorites to prevail. Aside from having the odds in their favor, Travis Hunter's return also raised the stakes.
However, the Buffaloes sputtered in the end. This unsurprisingly upset Buffs coach Deion Sanders, who questioned his players' love and desire, SI.com reported.

The Buffaloes started strong against the Cardinal, leading by as much as 29 points. Unfortunately, it appeared the Buffs got complacent in the second half and eventually went on to lose to the underdog Cardinal in double overtime, CNN reported.
