Colorado football news: Deion Sanders benches Julian Lewis after ugly start vs. Baylor

During Saturday's matchup, the Colorado Buffaloes found themselves trailing the Baylor Bears by a score of 10-3 at halftime. Facing a stagnant attack that struggled against Power Four opponents, head coach Deion Sanders opted to pull quarterback Julian Lewis from the contest.

Isaac Wilson was brought in to replace Lewis, who finished the first half with 75 passing yards on 11-of-16 passing alongside negative seventeen rushing yards. Sanders had previously called out his sophomore signal-caller ahead of conference play, seeking better execution after a stretch that has yielded 733 passing yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions this season.

Colorado now faces a crucial decision regarding their starting quarterback as they prepare to meet the Texas Tech Red Raiders in Week 5.
