## A blowout, and a blow-up
Colorado beat Weber State 52-21 to move to 2-0. Sanders walked into the locker room and told his players that performance was not what a winning team looks like.

> Is that a winning team, with a winning attitude?
## Tired of being the checker
He pushed the responsibility back onto the roster, asking why the standard always has to come from him instead of from the players themselves.

> Then what y'all gonna do about it? I always have to do something about it?
## Satisfied is the insult
The sharpest line was aimed at players content with the result. No dog, no killer, no pro, just comfortable with a win that looked good on paper.

> You definitely ain't no dog. You ain't no killer, and you definitely no pro
## No party, just conditioning
Sanders promised a heavy day of running instead of a night out, framing the win as proof they had not found the recipe yet.

> this is not the winning recipe to win it all
## The numbers he ignored
Colorado piled up 578 total yards. Julian Lewis went 17 of 23 for 366 yards and four touchdowns, and Micah Welch ran for 106 and a score.
## Title or bust in the Big 12
After critics questioned his job security, Sanders is 2-0 with a road upset at Georgia Tech. He wants a championship, in a Big 12 where Texas Tech, BYU and Utah all started hot.

> You guys are happy with winning the game. I'm trying to win it all!
## Key takeaway

Sanders is coaching to a national title standard, so a blowout win counts for nothing if his players are satisfied by it.
