A strong defensive performance was ultimately soured by another poor offensive showing in Colorado's 23-13 loss at Baylor on Saturday. Most notably, quarterback Julian Lewis' early-season woes continued in Week 4, forcing head coach Deion Sanders to plug in Isaac Wilson to begin the second half. Wilson performed well in a difficult situation by throwing for 156 yards and one touchdown. Albeit in limited action, the Utah transfer was one of Colorado's highest-graded offensive players from the loss, according to Pro Football Focus. Below are Colorado's highest- and lowest-graded offensive and defensive players from Saturday's loss at Baylor (minimum 15 snaps): Highest-graded offensive players WR Joseph Williams Grade: 79.5 Joseph Williams enjoyed arguably the best game of his college career, hauling in a personal-high 11 catches for 127 yards and one touchdown. WR Quanell Farrakhan Jr.  Grade: 73.6 Second-year Buff Quanell Farrakhan Jr. had a breakout performance in Waco. After entering the day with only two career catches, he hauled in seven passes for 117 yards. QB Isaac Wilson Grade: 68.7 While Coach Prime was noncommittal about his Week 5 quarterback plans, Wilson should be considered the favorite to start against Texas Tech. Lowest-graded offensive players TE Fisher Clements Grade: 46.1 Northern Colorado transfer Fisher Clements struggled the most in pass protection, grading out at 33.4 in 12 opportunities WR DeAndre Moore Jr. Grade: 50.7 One of Colorado's top offensive leaders, wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr. left Saturday's contest early with what appeared to be a head injury. TE Zach Atkins Grade: 52.3 Zach Atkins, who has been utilized sparingly this season, didn't record a catch but graded out decently in pass protection (66.0). Highest-graded defensive players DE Lamont Lester Jr. Grade: 93.3 Defensive end Lamont Lester Jr. has made a habit of being one of Colorado's highest-graded players. He led the Buffs with seven quarterback hurries on Saturday. LB Tyler Martinez Grade: 77.4 Before going down with an apparent lower-body injury, linebacker Tyler Martinez had two tackles and a pass breakup. LB Liona Lefau Grade: 74.0 Texas transfer linebacker Liona Lefau led the Buffs with nine total tackles, including six solo and 1.5 TFLs. Lowest-graded defensive players CB Cree Thomas Grade: 44.6 Cree Thomas' ongoing struggles are highly concerning. On Saturday, the second-year cornerback was flagged four times.  DL Yamil Talib Grade: 47.8 Defensive lineman Yamil Talib, a transfer from Charlotte, totaled two tackles in 21 snaps. DL Quency Wiggins Grade: 51.4 Now in his third year with the Buffs, defensive lineman Quency Wiggins played in only 17 snaps and wasn't viewed positively by PFF.
