Deion Sanders Unsure About Crucial College Football Rule
In a recent interview, Colorado’s head coach, Deion Sanders, left fans puzzled when asked about a critical college football rule during a thrilling game against Colorado State. The question arose after Colorado went for a two-point conversion following a touchdown in the second overtime period, and Sanders’ response raised eyebrows.
Sanders’ explanation went like this: “Points, the way the numbers come out. It’s a chart, but we’ve got so many smart guys around and they say ‘coach, you’ve got to go for two’ and I say ‘cool, let’s do it,’ and I understand why.”

However, the reality is that Colorado had no choice but to go for two in that situation. This decision is in line with the current overtime rules, which require teams to attempt a two-point conversion after scoring a touchdown in the second overtime period and beyond.
While it’s possible that Sanders momentarily forgot this rule during the post-game press conference, it’s essential to approach this situation with understanding rather than criticism.
Colorado is preparing for an upcoming game against Oregon this Saturday. Both teams are heading into the weekend with perfect records, setting the stage for an exciting showdown. As the Buffaloes get ready for this crucial game, Coach Sanders might want to brush up on his knowledge of college football overtime rules to ensure they are well-prepared for any potential overtime situations.
