Keeler: Choke’s on you, Coach Prime. CU Buffs football boss Deion Sanders looked out of ideas. Travis Hunter looked gassed. Has clock struck midnight on Boulder’s Cinderella?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:17:24 GMT

BOULDER — When Deion Sanders demanded his theme music, the Buffs played “Yakety Sax.” If Travis Hunter ran for 140 yards, Charles Kelly rambled for at least 220, arms waving furiously, as if trying to hail the last taxi in Times Square.“If you’re gonna point the fingers, point it at me, because if I’m allowing it, it should be on me, not (Kelly),” Coach Prime said of his veteran defensive coordinator after CU choked a 29-0 halftime lead against Stanford so hard, it turned into a 46-43 double overtime loss.“Put it on me. We go over this stuff. And there are times where you know what group is in … what group you’re on, but you have a lapse of understanding in those crucial moments. Right now, we’re not built for the moment. We’re not built for the moment.”For 30 minutes, the Buffs almost looked built for the College Football Playoff, a fireball of speed and swagger. For the next 30, they looked as if Karl Dorrell ...

France aims for another step toward Rugby World Cup destiny. Fiji faces its own great expectations

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:17:24 GMT

PARIS (AP) — France lost seven straight tests to South Africa from 2010 to 2018, which might have been the reason current coach Fabien Galthie traveled to the home of the Springboks after taking over in 2019.Galthie wasn’t looking for technical information, but rather a more holistic understanding of what motivated the Springboks when they ran onto a rugby field. He found something.“They’re a team that inspire us, that we’ve followed a lot,” Galthie said. “They talk a lot about nation, about uniting the country. We love how they carry the symbol of their country. I learned a lot about their country and their culture over there.”There’s no telling how much Galthie’s effort to gain insight into what makes the world champion Springboks tick helped France end that losing run against them last November. But it can’t have hurt.In a tight and at times brutal game that had a red card for each side, Galthie’s France stood up and won 30-26. It was a turning point...
