The only Big 12 team with an injury list as long as the #CUBuffs? Iowa State.

The injuries finally caught up to the No. 22 Cyclones last week at Cincinnati and a vulnerable team comes to Boulder this week.

My look at Iowa State in today's @denvergazette.com ⬇️

Coach Prime says he'll have a procedure today to address recent health issues:

"Prayerfully, I’ll be right back tomorrow. It is what it is and we found what we found."

Says it's hereditary and has nothing to do with his role with #CUBuffs.

Coach Prime on his players' frustration with similar themes in close losses:

“They should be and you’re happy as a coach to see that frustration. Some of these guys are fed up. They want to win and they want to win in the fashion that we’re capable of winning.” #CUBuffs

Deion Sanders on optimism with the #CUBuffs:

"The reason I’m still excited about this team is because I don’t feel like we’ve gotten our butt kicked. I feel like we’ve just wrapped it up and given it (away)."

Deion Sanders on the #CUBuffs quarterbacks:

On Kaidon Salter: “We gotta do better guys, you know that. And we will.”

On Julian Lewis: “He’s coming around the mountain when he comes.”

Deion Sanders here for his weekly press conference. On Matt Campbell and Iowa State:

“The guys is good, man. Seven winning seasons (out of) nine with the Cyclones. Three-time Big 12 coach of the year — now that is admirable. Lot of respect, well-coached team.” #CUBuffs

Tyler King @kingtylerb.bsky.social · 2d

Even the flies have started to notice the #CUBuffs' rough start to the season.

At 2-4 overall and 0-3 in Big 12 play, keeping locker room together is as important as ever heading into second half.

“That’s probably the most important thing going forward." ⬇️

FORT WORTH, Texas — Everything changed over the course of 6 plays.

With under 3 minutes until halftime, the #CUBuffs went from leading 14-0 to tied at the break. Another loss, another blown double digit lead for Deion Sanders' team.

FINAL: TCU 35, Colorado 21

For the third time this season, the #CUBuffs have lost a game that they led by double digits in. They can't recapture the same Fort Worth magic from 2 years ago and fall to 2-4 on the season and 0-3 in Big 12 play. Next up: vs. Iowa State next week.

Touchdown, TCU

Horned Frogs don't go for the FG attempt and instead drops back to pass on Josh Hoover finds Eric McAlister in the back of the end zone for a score. #CUBuffs down 35-21 with 19 seconds left.

Tyler King @kingtylerb.bsky.social · 3d

TCU will attempt a field goal with 26 seconds left. Should be about a 38-yard attempt. Last chance for the #CUBuffs.

Tyler King @kingtylerb.bsky.social · 3d

Josh Hoover scrambles for the first down to take us to the 2-minute timeout. #CUBuffs have 1 timeout left, but this is virtually over with the Horned Frogs also in FG range.

Tyler King @kingtylerb.bsky.social · 3d

One more first down will end the game. #CUBuffs forced to punt and Damon Greaves' kick was partially blocked. Horned Frogs inside the 40-yard line after picking up one first down, now facing second-and-6 with 2:12. Buffs have 1 timeout and 2-minute timeout left.

Tyler King @kingtylerb.bsky.social · 3d

Oh man, this game. #CUBuffs bailed out of a bad snap thanks to a false start before the play. Kaidon Salter with a completion to Hykeem Williams that would've been well short of the sticks if not for a TCU defender seemingly giving up on the play, allowing Williams to get the first down.

Tyler King @kingtylerb.bsky.social · 3d

Touchdown, TCU

The Horned Frogs capitalize on another #CUBuffs miscue as Hoover hits Manjack for an 18-yard score in the end zone. TCU leads 28-21 with 5:44 to play. Gut check time — once again — for Coach Prime's team.

Tyler King @kingtylerb.bsky.social · 3d

WOW. What a turn of events. TCU players and fans were LIVID about the OPI call on fourth down, but they get a fortunate bounce as the punt hits a #CUBuffs player and the Horned Frogs are there to pounce on it. TCU ball inside the 30-yard line with under 7 minutes to play.

Tyler King @kingtylerb.bsky.social · 3d

TCU converts on fourth-and-1 with a big catch-and-run inside the 10-yard line, but it's coming back on an offensive pass interference call and the home fans are NOT HAPPY. Drinks being thrown onto the field. #CUBuffs

Tyler King @kingtylerb.bsky.social · 3d

Josh Hoover uses his legs with no one open on third-and-14 but he's going to be ruled short. Crowd not happy, but looked like the right call. #CUBuffs defense now has to defend a fourth-and-1 near midfield. TCU calls a timeout before the play.

Tyler King @kingtylerb.bsky.social · 3d

TCU actually starts at their own 43-yard line after a penalty on the #CUBuffs during the punt.

Tyler King @kingtylerb.bsky.social · 3d

#CUBuffs offense goes three-and-out after a pair of runs lost 4 yards and that was that. TCU offense back on the field at their own 33-yard line after the punt. Still 8:35 left to play.
