Keyshawn Johnson thinks college football coaches conspired to help Oregon beat Deion Sanders and Colorado

Keyshawn Johnson has a new college football conspiracy for you

Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes got whooped by the Oregon Ducks. There’s no other way to put it.

It wasn’t like a “it was kind of close for a second!” type of whooped, either. Nah. This game wasn’t competitive at all. For a single second of the action. Dan Lanning’s team was just far and away the better team on Saturday.

That’s why it’s completely ridiculous that Keyshawn Johnson is trying to say that the reason Colorado was so thoroughly beaten by Oregon is because Lanning was “fed” information by other coaches to beat Colorado.

“They played against an Oregon team that is better. It’s a better football team. And you mentioned, Skip, you were talking about the jealousy of these coaches and how Deion got there…So I spoke to somebody in the coaching fraternity right after the game. And they know some people that coach at Oregon. And they were telling me ‘Man, I’ve never heard from another assistant coach on how much information was given to that staff,’.” 

Basically, y’all, the implication here is that the college football world came together to stick it to Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes.

Here’s the thing about that, man. Oregon just was the better team. There’s more talent across the board. The Ducks were better from top to bottom. What sort of “information” did Lanning and his coaching staff need to capitalize on that? That didn’t really matter here. The talent just won out.

I get it. Between the whole Colorado State thing and then stomping on Oregon’s logo, Sanders and his team have become incredibly polarizing, for better or worse. So it’s easy for stories like this to fly — even if it comes from what essentially amounts to a third-hand, single-sourced account that somehow made its way to Johnson.

No amount of advice or “information” was going to change that or amplify that in any way. Again, the Ducks were 21-point favorites for a reason.

Oregon was just better. Sanders has accepted that. Everyone else should, too.
