Sanders complimented Riley profusely during a Monday press conference, and Riley returned the sentiment after USC’s practice on Tuesday as they look ahead to Saturday’s game in Boulder.
LOS ANGELES — There would be no fuel added to the fire here. No potshots taken from the cheap seats at a media podium. No war of thinly veiled sound bites that could give the most visible coach in college football a spur to a hungry Colorado program.
On Monday, before one of the most highly-anticipated games of the early college football season between USC and Colorado , Deion Sanders settled into his pregame press conference in his customary white hat and dark shades and waxed poetic about Lincoln Riley. Unprompted. First and foremost, Sandersafter a few verbal bullet points: he had the “utmost respect and love, and appreciation, for head coach.
The kingmaker spoke firmly, emphasizing every few words as if to drive his message home, speaking of watching Riley’s coaching climb from Texas Tech to USC.When asked Tuesday, Riley said he hadn’t seen the comments.
“There’s a lot more similarities in the transformation here and what Coach has done at Colorado than there’s not – I see right where he’s coming from,” Riley said Tuesday,“He seems to be very genuine in his approach,” Riley continued, on Sanders. “Listen, everybody is different, everybody has got different personalities … regardless of what your characteristics are of your personality, if you’re yourself, you can be a great leader.
