Keyshawn Johnson went to bat for Colorado head coach Deion Sanders Monday morning on FOX’s Undisputed talk show.

Colorado was bludgeoned by Oregon at Autzen Stadium on Saturday, losing 42-6 in what was Sanders’ first Pac-12 game as a head coach. The win pushed Oregon up to No. 9 in the latest AP Top 25 and dropped Colorado, which was No. 19, out of the poll entirely. The game was over at halftime, when Oregon had more points on the board (35) than Colorado did yards in the game (21).

The former USC star said its too early to jump off the Colorado bandwagon.

“This is his first year. They’re 3-1. We can’t sit up here and act like it’s all doomed, it’s over with, they’ll never win another game. That’s not true,” Johnson said. “They played against an Oregon team that is better. They’re a better football team.”

He also shared an interesting note.

“I spoke to somebody in the coaching fraternity right after the game. And they know some people that coach at Oregon,” Johnson said. “And they were telling me, they said, ‘Man, I’ve never heard from another assistant coach of how much information was being given to that staff about’ — I’m just being real with it — ‘about game-planning against Colorado so they could beat ’em.’ That’s the reality of it. I ain’t making this up. I ain’t gonna disclose names, but you all know who I’m talking about if you’re watching.”

Sanders told reporters after the game he feels like teams aren’t necessarily trying to beat the Buffaloes, but rather they’re trying to beat him specifically. With all the attention around Colorado through the first three weeks of the season, the program speedran through the gambit of public approval.

They were doubted, then beloved, then hated, all in the span of about three weeks.

But Johnson’s insider info could also be taken another way. Sour grapes, perhaps?

Oregon didn’t expose anything that hadn’t been put on tape through Colorado’s first three weeks of the season. The Ducks attacked the areas most expected them to.

Colorado’s offensive line looked like a weakpoint, and Oregon pressured quarterback Shedeur Sanders with impunity. The Colorado run game had been nonexistent through three games, so its failure to produce in Week 4 wasn’t a surprise. And the Buffs had struggled to stop the run.

Oregon held Colorado to 40 rushing yards, it ran for 240 yards, and it sacked the quarterback seven times. The Ducks probably didn’t need a ton of outside help to build that plan of attack.
