Story summary

In the wake of Colorado's 29-7 loss to Texas Tech, head coach Deion Sanders expressed frustration with the team's quarterback situation, stating it was "disabling" them. With a record of 2-3 and 0-2 in the Big 12, Colorado is considering three quarterbacks ahead of their upcoming game against No. 13 Utah on October 17: junior starter Isaac Wilson, freshman Kaneal Sweetwyne, and former four-star recruit Julian “JuJu” Lewis. During the loss to Texas Tech, Wilson completed only 26 out of 55 passes for one touchdown and three interceptions. Lewis was benched in a previous game against Baylor after performing poorly with a 47.7 QBR. Sweetwyne has appeared in two games but details about his performance are not provided. Sanders emphasized the need for a quarterback to step up and take control of the position moving forward.
