Colorado put up a late fight in the second half, however it wasn't enough to take CU's potential first victory over USC in the end, as the Buffs lost 48-41.

Head coach Deion Sanders, Shedeur Sanders, Omarion Cooper, and Rodrick Ward met with the media after the game.

Watch the full sessions below:

First the Beaver "jumbo tron" makes ours look pathetic. .yes the Beavers

After only scoring on two of nine drives to begin the game, the Buffs found some momentum to pull themselves out of a 27-point hole Saturday.

Quick recap of the game on Saturday:

Shilo may have suffered a kidney injury. Need Niki to investigate

Myself and Corey Gibson are back with another live stream on the Rivals YouTube channel for USC vs Colorado tomorrow.

We will talk scheme, personnel, tell stories of the recruits when they were in high school and answer any questions you may have. I was on Tim Brewster's staff at Minnesota and Sean Lewis is a good friend of mine, so I'll be able to share some nuggets about them.

We will likely have a special guest or two hop on the stream from the stadium while on their game day visits as well. Should be a good time!

Leave a question here or join the live stream to comment or ask any questions that pop up during the game.

U$C a 21.5 point favorite, over under 74.

I'll have last weeks done hopefully tomorrow

Let's hope this week is a better game!

Colorado has the type of team that gives it a chance to beat USC for the first time in school history, but doing so will be a tall task.

@Ryan Young breaks down five key questions heading into Saturday ⬇️

Hey guys last week I asked this before Oregon so I thought maybe I’d do it weekly in a quest to continue learning.

Again , I find myself unable to see a scenario where we win. The USC lines are very good. The defense is much better than just stats show you. Break down the stats and they are a strong unit that matches up very well with us.

We know we will have trouble keeping SS upright. Last week we saw some success moving him around but still didn’t use it enough or couldn’t execute on it enough, not sure which, and it hurt us.

Our DL got very little pressure again and our attempts at bringing more guys in on blitzes was mixed though we did get in there a couple times.

For you guys smarter than me, this will include most of the board, if you are Sanders and Co. how are you gsme planning to have a chance against far superior athletes.
Never say never and upsets happen but it’s going to take magic. How do we make our own

Great article on Lane Kiffin and his firing at USC. He’s one of my favorite coaches in the game for his eccentricities. Brilliant mind for the game too.

Love how these two have handled this situation.

Reading through the weekly grab bag column on ESPN this morning they has some interesting USC defensive stats and the Colorado win total.
One writer picked 6 and pointed out that even though people are piling on after our “pathetic” loss to Oregon they need to see the success of a bowl after one win. He picked UA, ASU and Stanford as wins.
The other writer picked the same but said he expects an upset special to end at 7. Picked either UCLA or OSU as the 7th. Noted our poor line play (SS sacked 22 times. The most in 20 years through 4 games) but said give Deion a couple years and they will build something.

What’s everyone got ?
I have us at 6 myself. Stanford, UA and one of ASU or UCLA. All of them close wins

Can't keep up with all the players coming and going from injuries and rotation so far. Who has excelled most at each position, when healthy, and playing? Who makes up your best starting 11, on each side of the ball, whether healthy right now or not.

I'm mostly curious on Defense as I have a hard time watching and keeping up with all the players we rotate in and out.

Offense:

WR - Hunter, Weaver, Horn (or Dawson)
LT - Lichtenhan
LG - Bailey
C - Wells
RG - Bebee
RT - Washington
TE - Harrison
QB - Sanders
RB - Edwards (or McCaskill)

Defense:

DE - McClendon
DT - Cokes
DT - Payne
O LBR - Domineck
I LBR - Bentley
I LBR - Mitchell
Nickle - Slusher (or Silmon-Craig)
CB - Hunter
Safety - Woods
Safety - Sanders
CB - Cooper
