The Colorado Buffaloes entered Saturday needing a more confident passing game after a tight opening win at Georgia Tech, and Julian Lewis supplied it before Weber State even had time to settle into the afternoon at Folsom Field.
On Colorado's first offensive snap, Lewis hit DeAndre Moore Jr. for a 66-yard touchdown. A few minutes later, Lewis found Joseph Williams for a 63-yard score, and Colorado had already put Weber State in a position where it needed to chase the game.
From my seat, the biggest development was how quickly Lewis played. The Buffs came out attacking downfield, trusting Lewis to make the reads and allowing the receivers to use their speed against Weber State's coverage.
Colorado's 52-21 win moved the Buffs to 2-0 for the first time since 2023. Lewis completed 17 of 23 passes for a career-high 366 yards, four touchdown passes and no interceptions. He added a 3-yard rushing touchdown before halftime, accounting for five scores before leaving the game with 5:50 remaining in the third quarter.
The 52-point afternoon came with a few defensive concerns, particularly in the secondary, but Colorado showed far more life offensively than it did a week ago. Lewis played like a quarterback who could give this team an explosive passing game, while Micah Welch ended one of the program's longest rushing droughts.

The Colorado Buffaloes got the ending they needed Thursday night, even if the route to it was about as uncomfortable as any season opener can get.
Julian Lewis found Charlie Williams on a 20-yard touchdown pass with 37 seconds left, then Colorado's field-goal block by defensive back Boo Carter closed the door at the horn for a 14-13 win over Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The Buffaloes were out of timeouts and down six points when they started the final possession at their own 25-yard line, which made the finish feel larger than a typical Week 1 play.
Lewis had not found much consistency through the air before that drive. Colorado had dropped passes, missed downfield opportunities and left yards on the field during a first half in which both teams struggled with the humid conditions. The freshman quarterback had a rough sequence late in the second quarter, losing his grip on the football before recovering it and taking a 15-yard sack. Colorado followed with three incompletions before punting to close the half.
Georgia Tech held a 10-7 lead at that point, and the game never settled into a normal rhythm after halftime. Colorado's rushing attack gave the Buffs control of the ball, but Georgia Tech stayed close because Colorado could not finish possessions.
When Georgia Tech's Aidan Birr hit a 29-yard field goal with 1:40 remaining, Colorado had one last chance and Lewis took it.

The Colorado Buffaloes enter the 2026 football season with many unknowns. After flipping the roster a fourth time since Deion Sanders gave his famed Louis Luggage speech in Boulder, could the Buffs win a bowl game for the first time in 22 years?
Sanders opens the season in Atlanta, the city where he started a dual professional sports career with the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Falcons. However, the capital of the Peach State hasn't shown the Hall of Famer any southern hospitality, posting a 0-2 record going back to his days of coaching at Jackson State.
Sanders added a set of new coordinators with Brennan Marion (offense) and Chris Marve (defense) ahead of the 2026 season. Will the series of moves result in more wins?

Deion Sanders begins Year 4 at Colorado in the city where he became a legend, as the Buffaloes face Georgia Tech in Atlanta on Thursday.
Sanders played for the Falcons and Braves in the early 1990s, a rare two-sport star in the pros, and remains an iconic figure in Atlanta sports history. Though his legacy could earn him a warm welcome at Bobby Dodd Stadium, that nostalgia won't do much for the Buffs as they try to bounce back from a 3-9 season.
Second-year quarterback Julian Lewis, who starred down the road at Carrollton High School, will lead a Colorado offense that loaded up with transfers in the offseason. That includes receivers Kam Perry (Miami Ohio), DeAndre Moore Jr. (Texas) and Danny Scudero (San Jose State), who are among 43 transfers on the roster.
Speaking of transfers, the Yellow Jackets will roll out a high-profile pair in QB Alberto Mendoza, late of Indiana and brother of the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner, and former Michigan and Alabama running back Justice Haynes, who grew up in suburban Atlanta. Whatever happens there, things figure to look quite a bit different for Tech after Haynes King held down the QB position the last three years.

Colorado football predictions 2026: Projecting Deion Sanders' make-or-break season in Year 3 originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
For Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes, 2026 is a crucial year. Although Sanders arrived in Boulder with a 19-2 record across three seasons at Jackson State, his tenure at Colorado has gone poorly.
Through three seasons, he has a 16-21 record, including a 3-9 finish last year and a 1-8 record in the Big 12. He went 4-8 in his first season in 2023. His lone successful year was a 9-4 finish in 2024, when Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter both had career-best seasons.
As Sanders enters his fourth season, he will be coaching to keep his job at Colorado in 2026. Let's take a look at each game on the Buffs' schedule to try to predict just how this season will go for Sanders and company.

Phil Collins may be best known for his music career, but he has also spent decades studying and collecting artifacts related to the Battle of the Alamo. His interest eventually led him to build one of the world's largest private collections of Alamo memorabilia. In 2014, Collins donated hundreds of Alamo and Texana artifacts to the Texas General Land Office so they could be preserved and shared with the public, according to The Alamo.

Progressive Insurance announced Tuesday that Colorado is one of 13 programs included in a new college football sponsorship agreement that will place the company's branding on the field. The deal, arranged through Learfield, will also include video board features, LED signage, digital content and other game-day activations.
Colorado joins Boise State, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Purdue, SMU, Syracuse, Texas Tech, USC and Wake Forest in the agreement. Progressive's on-field placement will vary by school, with logos expected near sidelines or at the 25- or 50-yard lines. Financial terms were not released, but Sports Business Journal reported the arrangement is expected to be a multiyear deal.
The logo will debut during the 2026 season, giving Colorado another corporate presence at Folsom Field as the athletic department continues to pursue new revenue. That has been a priority for athletic director Fernando Lovo, who has discussed expanding sponsorship opportunities as college sports move deeper into revenue sharing and NIL-driven roster building.
"We are excited to be a part of the college football landscape with this investment," Progressive media business leader Sean Freeman said in a release. "It is an opportunity to support the collegiate student-athletes at these storied institutions."
For Colorado, the agreement is less about a logo on the turf than the money behind it. The Buffs are competing in an era when every additional revenue source can affect facilities, staffing and athlete resources.

Every college football fan knows there are levels to the sport. There are Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Notre Dame and Texas, but you also have Oregon State, Bowling Green and UMass.
Simply put, there are tiers to the college football world, and every year teams shift up or down multiple levels. ESPN slotted all 138 Football Bowl Subdivision teams into 20 tiers ranging from "The safest bets" to "Technically still FBS programs."
ESPN's David Hale places the 2026 Colorado Buffaloes in Tier 15 ******* led "If Indiana can do it...," which is a fascinating placement for Deion Sanders' team, but one that fits the ceiling of the current team.
Hale notes that this tier is also known as the bottom class of the Power Four. He wrote that CU went from a plus-9.5 points-per-game margin vs. Power Four opposition in 2024 to a minus-15.6 margin last year, which was the biggest year-over-year decline. The Buffs also need to develop a running game, which, since Sanders took over, has averaged a meager 3.88 yards per designed run, the worst mark in the Power Four.
Fixing the running game and being more competitive against Power Four opponents likely puts the Buffaloes back on the right track. Two things that are easier said than done.

A little over a month ago, Georgia Tech defensive lineman Tawfiq Thomas' made a viral social media post about his former team.
On Monday, the former Colorado Buffaloes transfer justified his remarks. Thomas is dressed in Georgia Tech game day gear from head to toe. Hat, jersey, uniform pants and cleats. However, there were additional elements that take this from a reasonable post to regrettable trolling.
The most noticeable is that Thomas is standing in front of a framed poster that shows the final score and stats from Georgia Tech's 27-20 victory over Colorado last season. This included is a countdown clock to the Week 1 match-up between the Buffs and Yellow Jackets. He tagged CU Football's official account and even made it Shedeur Sanders specific by including audio of Sanders' "Perfect Timing" song as well as corresponding lyrics.
The ploy by Thomas likely did not have the result he was hoping for. It might have been a friendly jab, but it was anything but effective. Perhaps during his time in Boulder, Thomas failed to grasp the built-in Sanders fanbase. Established Buffaloes fans might be less likely to engage a player who is no longer with the program. Sanders fans, on the other hand, are all too happy to check receipts and push back.
Following Thomas' original tweet from July 20, the critics showed up in droves. Some of the comments were of the 'act like a professional' variety, while others were much more direct and insulting. Many of the keyboard warriors that patrol social media in an effort to protect Deion Sanders and the Buffs wasted no time responding. Colorado alum Matt McChesney also addressed the post on his Zero2Sixty podcast.

Deion Sanders has never done things the conventional way, and his latest rules for fall training camp put him right back in the national crosshairs. When Coach Prime restricted standard media access, national sports commentators quickly jumped on the story, accusing him of trying to control the press and shield his team from tough questions.
While national pundits tore into the decision, a voice deep within the Colorado football family offered a very different perspective. Liz Munsterteiger, whose late husband, Adam, spent over two decades covering the Buffaloes before his passing in May 2026, shared a clear, thoughtful reflection on social media that cut through the noise.
Writing to the fanbase and media community, Liz admitted she was never the one drawing up X's and O's, but she knew the beat inside and out: "When I started this BuffStampede journey, I made it clear l'd never have the football knowledge to be one of the beat writers. That hasn't changed. But I do know what I witnessed over nine years of watching adamcm777 lose access to this team, bit by bit. I've been thinking about him a lot watching this whole "fight" over DeionSanders and CUBuffsFootball opening practice to media with restrictions," she tweeted.
"Adam covered this program for more than 20 years, through a lot of coaches and a lot of different eras of access. He'd find it insane that opening the gates more somehow became a story about shutting media out."

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are weeks away from the start of the 2026 football season. What will be made of Coach Prime's fourth year in Boulder?
The Buffs finished the 2025 campaign with a 3-9 record on the books. The second season with a losing record since he left Jackson State in 2022. The program is less than two years removed from Travis Hunter winning the Heisman Trophy and being selected No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Can Sanders repeat the pattern of success from the 2024 season? After new coordinators and 45 new players joining the program, the odds are stacked against CU this season. Oddsmakers have the Buffs win total at 4.5 this season. Sanders would need a nine-win season to be .500 overall, and is currently 16-21 after three years.
Coach Prime is scheduled to meet with the media at CU's Media Day on Friday, August 14 at 1:30 p.m. ET. This will be one of the final times he'll address reporters before the season starts. Watch the press conference live below.

The Colorado Buffaloes are through four fall camp practices, and we finally were able to hear head coach Deion Sanders talk about his program entering year four of his tenure.
Coach Prime discussed a variety of topics, including the recent dialogue about his team being small, the biggest areas of improvement, his coaching staff, the retooled offensive line, roster turnover and a possible future series against Air Force.
Sanders seemed rejuvenated and excited for the 2026 season, stating multiple times that he can't wait to see what people are saying later this year.
Here are the top quotes from Coach Prime after his first media availability of fall camp, including a couple of injury updates
Danny Scudero has been seen in a walking boot since camp began, but Sanders said on Thursday that the projected leading receiver for the Buffs is improving.

Colorado football is finally back on the field, and Deion Sanders made the opening message simple: start over and set the standard now.
As fall camp began in Colorado Springs, Sanders told his team to treat day one like it matters because it does. The Buffs are trying to move past a 3-9 season, and Sanders framed camp as a reset instead of a carryover.
"It's Day 1, fellas, set the tone that you want to establish for yourself," Sanders said. "Day 1 is going to be just like Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, so you set the tone, you set the standard for you."
The message from the first team meeting was interesting as well, as Coach Prime was all about urgency, discipline and eliminating distractions.
"I have no patience," Sanders said in a clip of the meeting posted by Thee Pregame Show. "I'm not here to play. I'm here to win. I'm here to dominate."

Colorado Buffaloes and coach Deion Sanders opened fall camp on Monday with a long list of questions, but three players stand out above the rest when it comes to pressure. After a 3-9 season and a major roster reset, the Buffs need answers quickly, and these three are facing the biggest individual tests.
Lewis is the obvious headliner. The redshirt freshman is only 18, but he is now the face of Colorado and the player expected to drive Brennan Marion's offense. That is a heavy ask for any quarterback, much less one stepping into his first full season as the starter.
Colorado brought in Isaac Wilson to compete with him, but the job still is Lewis' to lose. He has to settle the offense quickly, get comfortable with Marion's Go-Go scheme and show he can handle a rebuilt line in front of him. If Colorado is going to get back on track, Lewis has to look the part from the start.
Hykeem Williams enters camp with a different kind of pressure. The former five-star receiver has the talent profile of a future star, but his college production has not matched up so far. He has 348 career receiving yards and two touchdowns, including just 81 yards last season.
Colorado's receiver room is deeper now, which makes Williams' job even harder. He has to stay healthy and show consistency by winning snaps in a crowded group that includes Danny Scudero and Kam Perry. If he does not separate quickly, he risks slipping further down the depth chart.

The Buffs had a solid offseason despite many changes, including two new coordinators and 40-plus transfers, most with proven production, albeit at a non-Power Four level.
One of those players is Sacramento State transfer wide receiver Ernest Campbell. The speedy wideout is one of Pro Football Focus' highest-graded returning Big 12 wide receivers. He comes in ranked as the fifth-best returner with an 85.9 overall grade.
Campbell is coming off a breakout season at Sacramento State after being named to the FCS Central Freshman All-American Team. He led the Hornets with 37 receptions for 755 yards and eight touchdowns. The most impressive stat from his 2025 season is his average of 20.41 yards per reception. Campbell's explosivity is by far his best trait, and he should be the big-play threat in Brennan Marion's Go-Go offense, which he knows well. He had touchdowns of 75, 63,60, 57 and 50 yards.
Campbell unsurprisingly has a track background, competing collegiately at Texas A&M as a true freshman in 2024. He recorded a 10.02 100m time at the NCAA West First Round meet and was an honorable mention All-American, placing 22nd at the 2024 NCAA Championships.
Colorado is used to having wide receivers with speed, with players like LaJohntay Wester and Jimmy Horn Jr. adding a different dynamic during the 9-4 2024 season. CU is hoping Campbell can be that element this year and that it will lead to a similarly strong season.

Colorado enters the 2026 college football season with a cleaner plan at quarterback, with redshirt freshman Julian Lewis the projected starter and Utah transfer Isaac Wilson a competent backup to apply some pressure.
Lewis has a ton of potential, and with Brennan Marion now running the offense, the odds of him reaching that potential significantly increase. The Athletic recently named the Colorado quarterback to its list of ten rising quarterbacks who could make a jump this year.
To qualify for the list, all players could not be in the first three tiers of our ranking; Lewis was placed in the fifth tier (No. 49 overall) and was not on last year's list.
Lewis is joined on the list by several Big 12 quarterbacks, including Texas Tech's Will Hammond (No. 2), Arizona State's (No. 3) and West Virginia's Michael Hawkins (No. 9). Georgia Tech starting quarterback Alberto Mendoza, who the Buffs will see in Week 1, also made the list.
Here's what The Athletic had to say about Lewis entering 2026:

Under Deion Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes have rebuilt their roster each offseason through the transfer portal. It's the new way to build a roster in college football, placing greater emphasis on current production than on internal development.
That new philosophy has completely changed the average age of college football rosters, with most now slightly older since the transfer portal's implementation. Considering Colorado added 40-plus transfers this offseason, are the Buffs an old or young team?
Unsurprisingly, Colorado is on the older side with an average age of 20.63, according to data from RotoWire. The Buffs are tied for the 16th oldest roster in the FBS. CU is also the fifth-oldest team in the Power Four and the third-oldest in the Big 12. The two older Big 12 teams are Oklahoma State and UCF.
Considering Colorado frequently uses the transfer portal, an average age close to 21 (normally a college senior) is not surprising.
Georgia is the youngest team in the country (19.81 average age), which is not surprising given their propensity to land highly ranked freshman recruiting classes. The oldest team is UTSA (21.02 average age), as a team that prioritizes development and has many players who have been with the program for 3-4 years.

Colorado will take a different approach when it opens the season at Georgia Tech on Sept. 3, and Deion Sanders made it clear the focus will be on preparation.
Speaking at Big 12 Media Days this week, Sanders said the coaching staff — not the players — will be the group held to a curfew in Atlanta. Colorado lost last year's opener to Georgia Tech in Boulder after surrendering a late 45-yard rushing touchdown in a 27-20 defeat, and Sanders appears determined to avoid a repeat.
"I got the coaches on curfew, not the kids," Sanders said. "The coaches are having a curfew against Georgia Tech. We're going there two days early, we'll be there on a Tuesday, we play on Thursday night in front of the whole country, I can't wait."
The move gives Colorado extra time to settle in before the nationally televised game and reflects the urgency around a program coming off a 3-9 season. The Buffs were much better in 2024, but they enter this fall with a different roster and a different look after several key departures.
Sanders' comments also fit a broader theme from the offseason: more structure, more discipline and a sharper edge. Colorado has reshaped its staff and enters the year with Brennan Marion taking over as offensive coordinator, giving the Buffs a new voice on offense as they try to get back on track.

Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Julian Lewis turned heads at Big 12 Media Days when he described how much the offense has changed under new coordinator Brennan Marion.
Lewis said Colorado's preparation is more detailed this year, especially when it comes to studying opposing defenses, a stark contrast from what he experienced as a true freshman in 2025. His comments quickly became one of the more notable moments from the Buffs' Media Day appearance at The Star.
"I'm actually looking at the defenses now. Last year we weren't really looking at defenses much, just kind of high school, free-balling, just out there playing football. But it’s a lot bigger than that now, so it should be fun," Lewis said on ESPN.
The remarks were not surprising, as Colorado struggled on offense last season. The Buffs averaged just 20.9 points per game, ranked 116th nationally in scoring, and finished with only three wins. They were also near the bottom of the FBS in total offense and first downs, while their defense allowed 30.5 points per game.
That production led to a reset in Boulder, with Marion replacing Pat Shurmur as offensive coordinator, while Chris Marve has taken over the defense. Sanders has said he wants his offense closer to 35 points per game, and Marion's record at Sacramento State and UNLV suggests that is the standard Colorado is chasing.

Deion Sanders at Big 12 Media Days: Live updates from the Star in Frisco Texas originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders made the trip to Frisco Texas to rub elbows with fellow Big 12 teams and media. Sanders is joined by current Buffaloes players Julian "Juju" Lewis, Danny Scudero, Zach Atkins, Ben Finneseth, Naeten Mitchell and Cree Thomas.
Sanders is scheduled to be the 5th head coach to speak on the main stage around 3:20pm EST or 1:20pm MDT. With ASU's Kenny Dillingham, BYU's Kalani Sitake, and Texas Tech's Joey McGuire set to follow.
Sanders' Buffs have a new look this season. Almost all of the big names ****** ociated with the program have departed for a different opportunity. Everything coming out of Boulder would suggest that the coaches and players believe this team is poised to perform better this year than last year's 3-9 season.
The Buffs brought three of their bigger names expected to be significant contributors in 2026. While the quarterback competition is still ongoing, the group of players is headlined by Julian Lewis. Danny Scudero has been front and center in Well Off Media videos and Coach Prime has not hesitated to sing Scudero's praises. As of late Cree Thomas, Tennessee transfer, has caught attention and headlines at this stage in the offseason.

Colorado basketball unveiled its official 2026-27 roster late last week.
The release follows a busy offseason of turnover. The program bid farewell to several key players, including star point guard Isaiah Johnson and starting forwards Bangot Dak and Sebastian Rancik. Role players Felix Kossaras, Alon Michaeli and Andrew Crawford also departed the program.
As a result, the program returns just four major contributions from its 2025-26 rotation: guards Barrington Hargress, Ian Inman, Josiah Sanders and Jalin Holland. Hargress is a surefire starter and the Buffs' leader, while the other three returning guards will likely battle it out for one other starting spot and the top two spots off the bench. However, CU was in desperate need of size and athleticism, hoping its transfer portal additions would provide that element.
Colorado and Tad Boyle complemented Hargress in the starting lineup with former North Dakota center Noah Feddersen, UNC Greensboro forward Justin Neely, and forward David Gomez, to go along with a seven-player freshman class.
For more, here is the 2026-27 full roster, complete with each player's jersey number:

Deion Sanders talks Depend partnership, Colorado’s locker room responding to adversity and tragedy originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders was candid about many topics during a recent discussion we had in promotion of the launch of “Depend Wake Up Calls.” The “Depend Wake Up Calls” promotion is in honor of “Prime Wake Up Call for Men’s Health Month,” plus the nationwide rollout of the new Depend Real Fit packaging, which features Coach Prime on pack for the first time ever.
Today, DependWakeUpCall.com launched, allowing people to choose from one of three video text messages encouraging them to schedule a physical, supporting those navigating a recent health diagnosis, or empowering those experiencing bladder leaks to move past embarrassment and get back to living life.
I asked Coach Prime about the initiative, how he depends on Depend, and tackled several difficult subjects, like his publicized use of porta-potties on the sidelines due to incontinence caused by bladder cancer, which is thankfully now cleared. He also revealed the Buffs locker room’s response to the tragic death of quarterback Dominiq Ponder on March 1, and their general attitude towards adversity.
On what point he was finally comfortable using Depend and having a porta-potty on the sidelines…

Colorado's athletic director, Fernando Lovo, condemned the ruling that would allow Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby to play this season in a statement issued Monday night.
Lovo, who was hired by Colorado last winter, called the injunction a "clear affront to the competitive principles" of college sports and said the school would be working with the Big 12 Conference and its fellow Big 12 peers on the issue. The Buffs are set to host the Red Raiders on Oct. 3 at Folsom Field for Colorado's homecoming game.
Lovo did not mention the game's future in his statement. A report by Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger states that Big 12 athletic directors were considering not playing Texas Tech in any sport.
"The injunction issued today regarding Brendan Sorsby is doubling as his admitted actions are a clear violation of long-held standards of integrity in college athletics," Lovo said in his statement.
Sorsby admitted to gambling on his own team during his time at Indiana, but was made eligible by a ruling by Lubbock County Judge Ken Curry, who granted the quarterback an injunction against the NCAA. Sorsby played at Cincinnati last year and was one of Texas Tech's most significant additions in the transfer portal this offseason.

Shedeur Sanders negotiated $9.24 million of $17.7m NFLPA royalty payment while with Colorado Buffs football originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders recently cashed in on a $17.7 million royalty check from the NFL Players **** ociation for his rookie season in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns.
As Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio relayed, a large portion of that payment was negotiated while he was still a member of the Buffs, and before he slipped from being a projected first-round pick to an eventual fifth-round draft slide in 2025. Mainly, on trading card NIL. In addition, Florio foresees another big payment after Sanders recently switched his jersey number to the No. 2 he wore in Boulder as he broke several CU records under center.
“Most player royalty through the NFLPA come from group licensing deals, which compensate players for jersey sales, trading cards, video games, and other collectibles. As one source suggested, the $9.24 million payment to Sanders in May 2025 may have reflected his individual trading-card guarantee — something that likely would have been negotiated before he slipped from round one to round five in the 2025 draft,” Florio wrote.
“Sanders could have a large payment in next year’s LM-2, too. In March, Sanders changed his number from 12 to 2; any jerseys that fueled his royalty payments for his first NFL season will need to be replaced.”
