Colorado needs a QB to 'step up' after blowout loss to Texas Tech
Key Points:
- Colorado coach Deion Sanders plans to use the upcoming bye week to evaluate all three quarterbacks—Isaac Wilson, Kaneal Sweetwyne, and Julian "JuJu" Lewis—after their 29-7 loss to No. 12 Texas Tech, citing the quarterback position as a key weakness.
- Isaac Wilson, who made his first start, led an early touchdown drive but struggled afterward, throwing three interceptions including a pick-six, and acknowledged the need to make smarter decisions.
- Julian Lewis started the season strong but was benched after two interceptions in a blowout loss; Kaneal Sweetwyne has seen limited action with modest stats.
- Despite outgaining Texas Tech offensively, Colorado's offense stalled repeatedly with turnovers, missed field goals, and penalties, contributing to their poor performance and 0-2 conference record.
- Sanders emphasized the urgency to improve quarterback play, calling it the team's "one darn problem" and expressing disappointment but determination to correct mistakes during the bye week.
