Deion Prime thanked God after his Colorado Buffaloes sealed their first win of the season against Georgia Tech.
Colorado struck first in the second quarter on a five-yard touchdown run from Micah Welch, but Georgia Tech answered one the next series with a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown from Malachi Hosley to tie it 7-7. Before halftime, Georgia Tech added a 22-yard field goal to lead 10-7 going into the break.
Georgia Tech extended the lead to 13-7 with another field goal in the fourth quarter.
However, with just 42 seconds left, Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis hit Chase Williams for a 20-yard touchdown, and the extra point gave Colorado the 14-13 win.
When the game concluded, as Coach Prime was walking off the field, a Georgia Tech fan yelled an expletive at him, according to The Spun. But, Sanders responded with “God bless you.”
He then told his team in the locker room, “Let’s make sure the locker room is clean when we leave. Let’s be respectful; don’t say nothing crazy about our opponents because they fought their butts off. I have a lot of respect for their head coach and their coaching staff. They play really, really well.”
After the game, Coach Prime posted on X, “Thank You, Jesus. I Love You.”

That same day, he also wrote, “You be You and Let God be God! I promise you, God got it.”
After the game, Sanders told the media in the post-game press conference, “We beat a really, really good team and a really, really good coaching staff. But our guys were resilient. I’m proud of them. I’m truly happy for them.”
“God is so good, man. These young men are so wonderful. I love them for life. This whole coaching staff, we fought through the end. It was awesome,” he added.
Since becoming Colorado’s head coach in 2022, Sanders has been vocal about his faith and the difference it makes in his life.
“I trust God so much. I never doubted. I never wavered. I never even considered the fact I wasn’t going to be here to raise my kids or raise these children that I coach, not one bit,” he said in 2023. “My faith was sustained. How can you even measure your faith in you’re not challenged?”
Coach Prime and the Buffaloes face off against Weber State at home on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
