Deion Sanders calls leaked playbook 'something that happens'
Deion Sanders had plenty to say about the leaked script from Colorado's game against Texas Tech, offering a questionable explanation for the leak.
Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders addressed the leaked offensive script during a press conference on Tuesday. A fan of Texas Tech claimed a booklet with Colorado's offensive plays was found at the Buffaloes' hotel in Broomfield before their game on October 3rd. The photos of the packet circulated online prior to the kickoff.
Several plays from Colorado's opening drive corresponded with the script. Sanders clarified that the leak was a weekly game script, not the entire playbook. He remarked, "I don't think we have a whole playbook. I think week to week they get a script." Sanders expressed surprise at the question, as Colorado led after their first drive with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Isaac Wilson to Joseph Williams.
Despite the leak, Colorado suffered a 29-7 defeat. Sanders stated, "That happens sometimes. I've seen that, heard of that on the pro level as well as the collegiate level. But I think we scored on the first drive, so I guess it didn't work." The coach indicated that Colorado would not prolong their investigation into the incident, deeming it a mistake.
Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire had not seen the leaked photos before the game. Colorado will next host No. 11 Utah on Saturday.
