BOULDER, Colo.—The September of Deion in college football reached a suitably eventful conclusion.
The Colorado Buffaloes, who captivated the nation by starting 3-0 in their first season under new coach Deion Sanders, lost for the second straight Saturday to an undefeated Pac-12 opponent. Last week it was Oregon, this week it was No. 8 USC. But after being rocked early, this time Colorado mounted enough of a rally to keep the game interesting well into the fourth quarter.
Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams shredded an injury-depleted Colorado secondary, and the Trojans converted an interception and a blocked punt into first-half touchdowns in a 48-41 boat race at Folsom Field.
