- Pick/market: Instant takeaways from the Colorado football team's 52-21 win against Weber State on Saturday at Folsom Field.

- Colorado's rushing attack has improved under new offensive coordinator Brennan Marion and running backs coach Johnnie Mack: nearly 200 yards against Georgia Tech, followed by Micah Welch becoming the program's first 100-yard rusher since 2022 against Weber State. The preview identifies the ground game as support if the passing offense struggles again. - Colorado's secondary rotation remains unsettled. Makari Vickers was benched in the second quarter against Weber State after struggling, and Naeten Mitchell also had difficulties. Boo Carter moved into the slot and Jason Stokes Jr. outside; the writer praised both and expects more opportunities, with Jah Jah Boyd and Preston Ashley also pressing for snaps. Further roles are not yet confirmed. - Northwestern quarterback Aidan Chiles presents a containment test for Colorado under offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. The article cites Chiles' career 549 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns and considers him a greater dual-threat challenge than Colorado's first two opposing quarterbacks. Those are career figures, not this season's production; edge, linebacker and safety discipline are the matchup focus. - Colorado's Julian Lewis and his receivers struggled in wet, humid conditions at Georgia Tech, where PFF recorded four drops, three by DeAndre Moore Jr. Moore rebounded against Weber State. The article's early forecast suggested rain at Northwestern, making ball handling a watch point; it does not establish game-time weather or predict another poor passing performance.

- Colorado receiver Danny Scudero missed camp with a lower-body injury and has played 49 snaps through two games. Deion Sanders said he was unsure Scudero would be healthy for Northwestern; the writer assesses him as doubtful, not an official designation. More work for Quentin Gibson, Kam Perry or Ernest Campbell is a possibility, not a confirmed rotation. - Colorado center Demetrius Hunter has no clear return date after his Week 1 injury and absence against Weber State. The writer expects Sean Kinney to start again, rather than reporting a new coach-confirmed decision. Offensive linemen Taj White and Jose Soto are also not expected to play; Soto was seen on crutches, without a diagnosis supplied here. - Colorado defensive ends Sam Gadie and Yamil Talib were seen in full practice attire, but neither has played this season; Talib remains questionable in the report. Vili Taufatofua's outlook is still unclear after missing two games. Freshman linebacker Rodney Colton Jr. has worked with the defensive ends amid the shortages. Practice participation is not game clearance. - Colorado DL Tyler Moore wore a red non-contact jersey in practice videos, leaving his status uncertain despite appearing only mildly limited. Malachi Brown reported a torn labrum and is expected to miss an extended period. Receiver Hykeem Williams and safety Jaydan Hardy are also not expected to play at Northwestern; these are the article's outlooks, not a formal team injury report. - Sanders said Elliot Arnold is Colorado's only healthy placekicker. The writer therefore expects Arnold to handle field goals and kickoffs against Northwestern. Sanders did not give specific updates on Daniel Gerlach or Cadel Ayala, so their diagnoses, return dates and any emergency roles remain unconfirmed.

- Injury: We don't get much from Coach Prime on injuries, but we did learn that Danny Scudero may not be ready to go this week.

- Injury: Kicker Elliot Arnold revealed today that he had been dealing with a torn hamstring, which explains why he had fallen off over the summer and in fall camp.

- Injury: Thee Pregame Show posted a clip this morning of DE Sam Gadie working in positional drills at practice.

- QB/LB: With only one game against a Power Four opponent under its belt, Colorado still has plenty of questions to answer heading into its Week 3 matchup at Northwestern.

- Julian Lewis produced 366 passing yards and five total touchdowns against Weber State, including opening 66- and 63-yard touchdown throws to DeAndre Moore Jr. and Joseph Williams. He yielded to Kaneal Sweetwyne after building that first-half production. The explosive passing is a concrete result against Weber State, not proof the same efficiency will carry over against stronger defenses. - Lewis said Joseph Williams' size complements Colorado's smaller receivers and his deep threat forces defenders to back off. Lewis also praised the offensive line for giving him time and creating an effective run game. These are the quarterback's observations about spacing and protection, not a coach-announced personnel or scheme change.

- Intel: A highly touted wrestler, Sean Kinney never really considered a future on the mat.

- 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.

- Pick/market: 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.
