‘The Bills Don’t Put This Much Weight on Josh Allen’ — Jason Whitlock Takes Shot at Deion Sanders and Co. Over Colorado’s Plan for QB Isaac Wilson

Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Isaac Wilson faced an overwhelming workload in his first start, handling 63 of the team’s 80 offensive snaps during a 29–7 loss to Texas Tech. The Utah transfer completed 26 of 44 passes for 290 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing 17 times for 42 yards and catching two passes—though the offense stalled after an early 8-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Williams.

The loss, Colorado’s second in Big 12 play, left the program searching for answers, particularly after Wilson’s three interceptions and the team’s inability to sustain momentum beyond the opening drive.

Criticism quickly followed, with analyst Jason Whitlock questioning head coach Deion Sanders’ decision to place such heavy demands on a rookie quarterback. Whitlock compared the workload to NFL stars like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, arguing that even elite quarterbacks aren’t expected to carry an offense single-handedly.

Wilson’s first collegiate start under Sanders saw him replace Julian ‘JuJu’ Lewis, who had started the team’s first four games, but the transition proved difficult as the Buffaloes’ offense struggled to execute beyond Wilson’s individual efforts.
