Colorado's Northwestern review reports 91 rushing yards on eight carries for JaQuail Smith, while Micah Welch and Damian Henderson II each had a costly fumble. The article identifies productive rushing alongside ball-security failures in the 41-7 loss; it does not announce a new lead back or a future carry allocation.

Colorado's secondary recorded no pass breakups against Northwestern, and the writer specifically identifies cornerback Cree Thomas and safety Naeten Mitchell as struggling in coverage. That is a matchup-specific assessment, not a reported benching, injury designation or new coverage system.
