Sanders Says Colorado Will Not Investigate Reported Script Leak

Colorado coach Deion Sanders said Tuesday he would not investigate how a reported offensive script became public before the Buffaloes’ October 3 loss to Texas Tech, dismissing the matter as over and questioning whether the document would have been trusted by an opposing coach. The script was reportedly found at the team hotel in Broomfield, Colorado, before the game and circulated online before kickoff. Reporting said comparisons matched plays listed in the document with Colorado’s opening script. The available accounts do not establish who left the material, who accessed it or whether Texas Tech’s coaches used it. Sanders said that even if an opposing team knew Colorado’s opening plays, it would still have to stop them. He also questioned whether a coach finding such a document would believe it was genuine, suggesting it could be a planted dummy script. Those remarks reflected his view; they do not establish whether the material was authentic or had an effect on the game. Colorado scored on its opening drive, its only scoring possession in a 29-7 defeat.
