Deion Sanders caught on camera arguing with his own players during dramatic loss
Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders appeared to engage in a heated discussion with Carter Stoutmire after their team sacrificed a 29-point half time lead to fall to defeat.
The man nicknamed 'Coach Prime' was left visibly despondent after Stanford inflicted the biggest comeback in their school history to win 46-43. They secured victory in dramatic circumstances in double overtime, with Joshua Karty drilling a 31-yard field goal to break Colorado hearts.
Sanders' team would be left stunned as the Cardinal scored 26 straight points with Karty having converted a 46-yard field goal with just seconds left on the clock of regulation time. The kicker's timely heroics took the game into overtime, with the pendulum swinging in his team's direction from then on.

"Here comes that team that I can’t stand, that you can’t stand it. You can’t understand how in the world that happens to us but it did. From youth on, I don’t remember being up 29-0 and losing a football game."
Sanders added: "I really don’t. This is a little tough for me. We have no choice but to go forward. That’s life. We didn’t expect that. We can’t sit down and have no pity party."
