Story summary

Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes football team, dismissed concerns about a leaked playbook that was found by Texas Tech fans before their October 3 game. The incident occurred when pages from Colorado's offensive game plan were left behind at a hotel in Broomfield where the team typically stays pre-game. Although the leak gained traction on social media and message boards, Sanders minimized its impact, stating, "It’s over. Game's over." He claimed that even if such an event happens, it did not affect his team's performance since they scored on their opening drive during the 29-7 loss to Texas Tech. Sanders further suggested that he would view similar reports with skepticism, considering them potential misinformation tactics by opposing teams.
