Colorado's offensive script was found at a hotel bar before the team lost 29-3 to Texas Tech on 3 October.

Colorado's offensive script was found by Texas Tech fans at the team hotel bar in Broomfield before the Buffaloes' home game on 3 October. The leaked script, which included Colorado's opening plays and offensive notes, was posted on a message board and eventually spread across social media. Colorado lost the game 29-3.

Head coach Deion Sanders addressed the incident publicly for the first time on Tuesday, more than a week after the game. He said the leak did not trouble him, noting that Colorado scored on its opening drive despite the script being known to opponents. 'I've seen that, heard of that on the pro level as well as the collegiate level,' Sanders said. 'That happens sometimes.' He dismissed concerns that the leaked information affected the outcome, saying: 'I think we scored on that first drive, so I guess it didn't work.'

Sanders suggested he would be suspicious of any leaked playbook, calling it potentially a 'dummy script' planted by the opposing coach. He said he does not plan to investigate further into how the script reached the public. 'Why would we? It's over. Game's over,' Sanders said.
