Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines are knee-deep in a sign-stealing scandal that has become the talk of the college football world. And, of course, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders was asked about it during his press conference on Tuesday.
However, instead of throwing shade or ripping apart Michigan, he gave a unique take on the situation in Ann Arbor:
“Everyone’s trying to get an edge,” Sanders said. “I mean everyone’s trying to get whatever edge they can. You can have someone’s whole game plan, they can mail it to you, you still gotta stop it. You still gotta stop it. So in football, it’s not as pronounced as baseball. If I know a curveball is coming, I got you. With football, I don’t give a darn if you know a sweep is coming, you still gotta stop it. Physically, it’s a physical game, you gotta stop it. So that’s a little tough. I don’t buy into a lot of that stuff that, someone’s stealing this, stealing that.”
Sanders also talked about his NFL days and how he knew “darn well” which star players were going to get the ball, but that didn’t change the fact that you had to stop it.
The controversy with the Wolverines is circulating headlines everywhere, but this has to be one of the more unique takes we have heard on the situation.
“You can have someone’s whole game plan, they can mail it to you, you still gotta stop it.” 🤷🏽♂️
