Colorado coach Deion Sanders benched quarterback Julian Lewis at halftime of the Buffaloes’ 23-13 loss to Baylor on September 26. Lewis completed 11 of 16 passes for just 75 yards in the first half. Utah transfer Isaac Wilson replaced him after the break. Wilson threw for 156 yards and a touchdown. He tied the game at 13-13 in the fourth quarter. But Baylor pulled away late to seal the win. Sanders said he made the switch to spark the offence. ‘I was trying to get us going,’ he told reporters. Lewis has struggled in recent weeks. He threw two interceptions in a 41-7 loss at Northwestern the week before. The defeat dropped Colorado to 2-2 on the season. Sanders has not named a starter for the Texas Tech game. Wilson is pushing hard for the job. The quarterback battle is now the biggest story in Boulder. Colorado hosts Texas Tech next, and the starter decision could define the rest of the Buffaloes’ season.
