Deion Sanders reminds Nebraska fans of Scott Frost following Colorado’s loss at Oregon

The Colorado Buffaloes suffered their first loss of the year when they fell to Oregon 42-6 in Eugene.

The Colorado Buffaloes suffered their first loss of the year when they fell to Oregon 42-6 in Eugene. Following the game, head coach Deion Sanders made it very clear that he’s only at the beginning of his rebuild and even echoed former Nebraska coach Scott Frost with his post-game comments.

“I don’t say stuff just to say it for a click, contrary to what some may say. Yeah, I keep receipts. But I’m serious. I analyze and I understand what we’re up against and what we have and what we need. One thing that I can say, honestly and candidly. You better get me right now. This is the worst we’re going to be. You bet get me right now.”

Nebraska fans may remember that Scott Frost made similar comments at his first Big Ten Media Days appearance back in 2018.

“I know if we’re getting better day by day, we’re going to be really dangerous and hard to beat in the very near future. We’ll see how this first year goes but people better get us now because we’re going to keep getting better.”

Of course, Nebraska would not keep getting better under Frost. In his four-plus years at Nebraska, Frost would never have a bowl-eligible team and would finish with a record of 16-31.

Considering where Coach Sander already has his team in his first year at the helm, it’s clear that the comparisons between him and Scott Frost end there. Find a photo gallery of Scott Frost’s college coach career at Nebraska below.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers look to change course and get their first win of the season against their rival, Colorado. The former Big 12 foes will battle it out in Boulder as the two new head coaches look to prop up which program is off to a hotter start.

Their openers were two contrasting performances as Colorado outlasted TCU in a shootout in Fort Worth, while Nebraska fell in a low-scoring loss at the hands of Minnesota. So as we look ahead, we look at each player’s Pro Football Focus grade and try to build the best possible roster.

Looking back at the history between Deion Sanders and Nebraska

When Nebraska takes the field against Colorado on Saturday, it won’t be the first time head coach Deion Sanders has faced the Cornhuskers.

When Nebraska takes the field against Colorado on Saturday, it won’t be the first time Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders has faced the Cornhuskers. In fact, Sanders faced Nebraska three times during his collegiate career.

Sanders played for Florida State from 1985-88. During that time, he would face Nebraska twice in the regular season and once during a bowl game.

The first meeting took place on Sept. 7, 1985, when the Seminoles traveled to Lincoln to face the No. 10 ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers. FSU would win that game 17-13.

The rematch would take place on Sept. 6, 1986, when Florida State made the trip to Lincoln again. Nebraska would win that year’s game by a score of 17-34.

Sanders would play Nebraska one more time during his Florida State career. The Seminoles would face Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, 1988.

Florida State would win that game by a score of 31-28. Now, Sanders will meet Nebraska as a coach on Saturday at 11:00 a.m.

Nebraska continues preparations for Colorado

Nebraska head football coach Matt Rhule met with the media on Monday afternoon.

Nebraska head football coach Matt Rhule met with the media on Monday afternoon. He talked about the team’s preparations for their game this Saturday against Colorado.

On Colorado prep and what to expect: 

“Well, I think they have really good coaches. You go back and look at their coordinators. You look at Sean Lewis from Kent State, he’s a friend. He’s an excellent coach. He comes out of Art Briles’s tree. You’re going to get the ball run from B gap to B gap. They’re going to attack you on the perimeter. They’re going to take ten deep ball shots a game. They have the guys. They can go down the field and their ball skills are elite. They have a quarterback that can make those throws. It’s really a perfect storm and perfect hire. That style of offense with that skill set of guys they have, plus the altitude and tempo in Boulder, it’s really well thought out. On defense, obviously, Coach Kelly comes from the (Nick) Saban tree. You watch Florida State film and you can’t look at everything from what they did last week. Obviously, they were facing a new offense with TCU and it’s like two different worlds of what we played last week compared to now. We’re studying everything. They have a lot of new players and we have new players so this is their first time too. A lot of work has been done this summer and a lot of work has been done right now.”
