While head coach Deion Sanders was far from pleased with how his Buffaloes performed, several Colorado players graded out well in Saturday's Week 2 win over Weber State, according to Pro Football Focus.
As expected, quarterback Julian Lewis, wide receiver Joseph Williams and defensive back Jah Jah Boyd were looked upon positively by PFF. Each put up big numbers in the 52-21 win and will look to do the same next week at Northwestern.
