Colorado football news: Deion Sanders breaks down decision to bench Julian Lewis vs. Baylor

Colorado suffered a 23-13 defeat on Saturday, dropping their overall record to 2-2 following a previous loss to Northwestern. During the game, head coach Deion Sanders decided to bench starting quarterback Julian Lewis early after a sluggish offensive performance, explaining afterward that the move was an attempt to provide a spark for the unit rather than placing full blame solely on the signal-caller.

Lewis finished the contest completing 11 of 16 passes for 75 yards without a touchdown. Replacement quarterback Isaac Wilson entered the game to throw for 156 yards and a touchdown on 12-of-25 passing, while Joseph Williams added a single completion for 49 yards on one attempt.

Colorado will look to rebound next Saturday, October 3, against the eleventh-ranked Texas Tech squad.
