Arizona State running back Raleek Brown knew exactly which coach was on the opposing sideline when he scored a touchdown at Colorado on Saturday.

Brown hit the “Prime Time Shuffle” that Deion Sanders made famous as a player in the end zone after he scored on a 33-yard reception.

Sanders became notorious for his flash and dance moves as a player, and Brown’s moves as ASU took a 10-7 lead in the first half were the latest example of homage being paid forward.

Brown had pickups of 11 and nine yards to start the drive before he scored as a pass catcher when Jeff Sims gave a head fake to the defense as though he was about to take off running.

Sims threw a bad interception on his next pass attempt, but Brown turned his next touch into a 59-yard breakaway gain.

It set up a brilliant play design where Jordyn Tyson threw from a receiver screen, and while Chamon Metayer had space in the end zone, Tyson’s throw was too far in front. The receiver made his presence felt earlier with a 42-yard reception in his return.

ASU went to the trickery earlier in the game too, a 19-yard pickup on a fake punt from Kanyon Floyd to defensive lineman Blazen Lono-Wong. The pair also connected on a fake punt in the Peach Bowl.

This was a game ASU needed to win to stay alive in the Big 12 title fight.

The score did not reflect how badly ASU played. And ASU needs to figure out how to get off these dismal starts in the 1st half of games.

Brown must have been confident he was going to score re practicing the Prime dance. Sad that two seasons ago the colorful legenDary Sanders was all the rage, and now he's either going to resign for health reasons, or maybe even forced out. And both his sons, once projected to be 1st round picks, are either out of the NFL or struggling to hang on.
