Colorado head coach Deion Sanders thought it was “stupid” when Colorado State quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi made a “too small” gesture toward Buffs two-way star Travis Hunter.

Fowler-Nicolosi and Hunter exchanged words on the sideline late in the second quarter and a Rams player taunted Hunter as he ran back to the huddle.

Sanders was stunned to see Fowler-Nicolosi taunting the bear in such a manner and told reporters he would advise his children not to make a similar mistake:

Fowler-Nicolosi provided plenty of fodder for the pregame bulletin board when he told CBS Colorado: Romi bean He said Colorado had a “very rude awakening” in last year’s matchup. He also said the Buffaloes’ reputation has been inflated by the attention they’re attracting off the field.

Talking trash after Colorado State lost to its in-state rival a season ago was a bold decision by the redshirt sophomore, and it only seems worse after what happened Saturday night in Fort Collins.

Colorado came away with a 28-9 win and got big performances from its two stars. Shedeur Sanders completed 36 of 49 passes for 310 yards and four touchdowns, connecting with Hunter 13 times for 100 yards and two scores. Hunter also intercepted a pass in the third quarter, which served as a coup de grace in the team’s ongoing feud with Fowler-Nicolosi.

The result extended the Buffaloes’ winning streak to seven games in the Rocky Mountain Showdown. The rivalry isn’t scheduled to resume until 2029 and that gives the Rams plenty of time to think about falling short again.
