Deion Sanders Making Colorado QB Change After 2 Straight Losses: Report
Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are reportedly making a change at the quarterback position this weekend.
The Colorado Buffaloes began their 2026 college football campaign with successive victories against Georgia Tech and Weber State. Quarterback Julian Lewis had an impressive debut, throwing for 366 yards and five touchdowns, including a 41-7 triumph against Northwestern. However, his performance declined subsequently. In a 41-7 defeat to Northwestern, Lewis committed two interceptions.
Moreover, he was replaced by Utah transfer Isaac Wilson for the second half of the game against Baylor. According to a report by college football analyst Matt Zenitz, Sanders plans to commence Wilson in the upcoming match against No. 12 ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders. Following a 23-13 loss to Baylor, Wilson completed 12 of his 25 pass attempts for 156 yards and one touchdown.
Lewis contributed 11 passes for 75 yards before being substituted. Sanders accepted responsibility for the quarterback change post-match, stating it was his decision to invigorate the team. He later clarified that a final decision has not been made, as he has yet to discuss the matter with Lewis. "I haven't talked to Juju. I've spoken to Isaac, and the kid is excited about the possibilities," Sanders told reporters on Tuesday. Colorado is set to face Texas Tech on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
