Twenty-seven second-half points weren’t enough for the Colorado Buffaloes to overcome No. 7 USC in a 48-41 loss. Their second loss in a row drops the team to 3-2 and 0-2 in the Pac-12.
Coach Deion Sanders didn’t hold back after the team fell short.
“What’s our identity?” said Sanders, Colorado’s first-year head coach, after the loss. “I don’t know who we are. I don’t know what we gonna do. From practice to practice, I do, but we’ve got to translate that into the games. So we’re still searching for our true identity.”
This week they take on a 1-4 Arizona State team coming off a 24-21 loss to Cal. The Sun Devils couldn’t convert a critical fourth down on their final drive and fell short on the road in Berkeley. That’s Arizona’s fourth consecutive loss after their win in the 2023 opener versus Southern Utah.
The two teams meet in Tempe, Arizona, each looking for a first conference win in 2023.
Arizona State hosts Colorado at Mountain America Stadium with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m., ET, on Pac-12 Networks. It’ll also be streaming at pac-12.com.
