Early in the fourth quarter, Colorado Buffaloes running back Deion Smith suffered a scary injury when soon after receiving a pass, he took a big hit from a Cal defender. Smith was subsequently carted off the field and did not return to the game.
Interim head coach Mike Sanford was asked about Smith’s condition postgame, and he thankfully revealed that CU’s lead RB is back standing up and walking again. Sanford added that he was proud of his Buffs for how they supported their fallen teammate during a difficult moment.
“That was a moment I’ll never forget in my coaching career, just the brotherhood that was shown through that moment,” Sanford said.
Smith took to Twitter following the game to thank everyone for the support and to congratulate his Buffs on the 20-13 overtime win.
I love this team, buff nation and I just want to say thank you to everyone that reached out. Good dub squad! I know y’all always going to have my back. @CUBuffsFootball #SkoBuffs
