Colorado coach Deion Sanders plans to use the bye week to evaluate his quarterbacks after the Buffaloes' 29-7 loss to No. 12 Texas Tech on Saturday. Sanders said Colorado (2-3, 0-2 Big 12) will consider Isaac Wilson, Kaneal Sweetwyne, and Julian "Ju Ju" Lewis before facing No. 13 Utah on Oct. 17.
"That's the position that's somewhat disabling us and disarming us," Sanders said. "Somebody's got to step up and take hold of it and get it done." Wilson made his first start and led an opening touchdown drive but threw three interceptions afterward.
"The score is not indicative of who these guys are and who we are," Sanders said. "I expected a win. We're going to work. We're going to right the wrongs." Wilson said, "I need to stop trying to be more than I am. We've got dogs all over the field."
Lewis started the season with five touchdowns and no interceptions in wins over Georgia Tech and Weber State but was benched after two interceptions against Northwestern. Sweetwyne has appeared in two games, going 8-for-12 for 42 yards. Colorado, the most penalized team in the Big 12, was flagged eight times for 84 yards.
