Deion Sanders and Sonny Dykes shared a classy moment during Colorado-TCU thriller

There’s no hard feelings between Colorado’s Deion Sanders and TCU’s Sonny Dykes.

It was a bit surprising that a game with a 20-point spread turned out to be one of the most exciting on Saturday, but that’s exactly what viewers who tuned into TCU versus Colorado got. Even with Fox’s big and weird scorebug, it was an incredible back-and-forth game where points, yards and highlights were easy to come by.

Colorado coach Deion Sanders even took the opportunity at halftime to lobby for Travis Hunter’s Heisman Trophy candidacy.

Between all the theatrics and big plays though, Sanders also took time to check in on an injured TCU player and shared a classy moment with TCU coach Sonny Dykes.

During the third quarter, TCU running back Trey Sanders went down for a brief moment with a knock (he seemed to be OK, returning to the game minutes later and scoring a touchdown). Deion Sanders came out and gave the Horned Frog some words of encouragement and tapped him on the head.

And then Deion and Dykes shared a quick handshake and hug.

The two coaches also embraced after the game, a 45-42 win for Colorado over the 17th-ranked Horned Frogs.

It’s worth mentioning that, before Sykes was hired for the TCU opening in 2021, Sanders interviewed for the job too.

This small gesture seemed to indicate that there’s no hard feelings between the two coaches, even in a battle as heated and entertaining as Saturday’s was.
