Deion Sanders backs Julian Lewis after Colorado's first loss of season
Deion Sanders defended Julian Lewis after two interceptions at Northwestern, urging Colorado fans to focus on the freshman's response at Baylor.
The Colorado Buffaloes faced their first loss of the season against Northwestern, during which freshman quarterback Julian Lewis made two interceptions. Lewis had not intercepted a pass in his first 150 college passing attempts prior to the game. Colorado's offensive struggles persisted as they lost two fumbles, failed to convert on three fourth downs, and accumulated 80 penalty yards.
Northwestern dominated the game, amassing 423 total yards while limiting Colorado to 348. The Buffs will look to rebound against Baylor in their upcoming Big 12 opener, with Deion Sanders urging Lewis to stay focused and not let the interception affect his performance. Sanders emphasized the importance of Lewis' recovery and resilience, comparing it to a cornerback responding to a completed pass.
Colorado enters the game with a 2-1 record, and their performance will be crucial for establishing a strong start to conference play.
