Words were exchanged between the two head coaches in the build-up to Saturday's match. The Rams head coach Jay Norvell implied that Coach Prime, Deion Sanders, was not raised right because he doesn't take his hat and sunglasses off when talking to people. The iconic NFL cornerback's son Shedeur Sanders, who is Colorado's starting quarterback and an early Heisman Trophy candidate, also had his say, branding Norvell a "fool."

A late hit by safety Henry Blackburn put Hunter in the hospital, causing an on-field flare-up with Shedeur Sanders. Many felt that Colorado State, which blew an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter and lost 43-35 in double overtime, got what they deserved for "blatant and uncalled for" hits. NBA great and college football fan James took to Twitter to question why Blackburn wasn't ejected for his late hit on Hunter. Hunter managed to get back to his feet and register a tackle but ultimately had to leave the game. 'Like I don't understand the difference between targeting and what I just witnessed," James fumed on X, formerly Twitter. "I've seen others get thrown out for far less. That was blatant and uncalled for IMO!' After the game, it was confirmed by Deion Sanders that Hunter will miss the next two weeks at least. His two-way superstar will miss crucial games against ranked teams and Pac-12 rivals, Oregon and USC, putting the Buffaloes' perfect 3-0 record at risk. "First thing I've heard is he will be out a few weeks, but we gotta take care of him,){kind=link}
