Colorado WR Danny Scudero is questionable for Northwestern, according to Deion Sanders. The ankle injury cost him all of fall camp and limited him through the first two weeks; Sanders did not give a return date or clear him to play.

Colorado DEs Vili Taufatofua, Yamil Talib and Sam Gadie are currently out. Asked about those edge players and center Demetrius Hunter, Sanders said he needed to see more in practice; the update did not establish Hunter's game status or announce any clearance.

Sanders expects Boo Carter to work at both outside corner and nickel against Northwestern. Jason Stokes Jr. played well in relief against Weber State, while young slot defender Preston Ashley recorded two pass breakups; those options give Colorado more secondary flexibility, not a settled new starting lineup.

Colorado is 2-0 but drew 13 penalties for 107 yards against Weber State and had offensive execution problems. Sanders said players responded to the correction work; that is a practice assessment, not evidence that the penalty or offensive issues have already been fixed.

Sanders highlighted Northwestern coordinator Chip Kelly's hurry-up/no-huddle offense as a preparation problem for Colorado. Northwestern had two weeks to prepare after its opener, when Aidan Chiles threw for 273 yards and a touchdown; the tempo concern is an opponent scouting assessment.
