Deion Sanders was not exactly in a jubilant mood after Colorado beat North Dakota State 31-26 on Thursday night in the 2024 season opener.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Sanders explained that he felt like he had to “hold back his anger” because the win didn’t feel like it.

“Have you ever felt like you won and you didn’t?” he added. “Let’s just stop doing that. I’m going to do my best to hold back my anger. But we got a ‘W’ so I’m happy.”
