- Entering its 2026 Baylor opener, Colorado was coming off a Northwestern game with two fumbles, two interceptions and three failed fourth-down attempts. Deion Sanders cited turnovers and a 36-to-23-minute possession deficit; the writer said Colorado scored only 21 points across its first two Power Four games. These are observed problems, not a confirmed correction. - Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis threw his first two career interceptions against Northwestern and said the offense could move the ball but needed to finish drives. The Sept. 25 Baylor preview suggests easy early completions to rebuild confidence; that is the writer's proposal, not an announced opening script or a starter change. - After Colorado's Northwestern loss, safeties coach Vonn Bell said the defense needed faster processing and better situational awareness against motion, sudden changes and double calls. The Baylor preview links this to secondary pre-snap communication; Bell did not announce new coverage or a personnel change.

- 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.

- QB/LB: Colorado's ability to make mid-season adjustments will become known on Saturday when the Buffs travel to Baylor for their Big 12 opener.

- Colorado's initial Wednesday availability report for the 2026 Baylor game lists running back Damian Henderson II as doubtful and JaQuail Smith as questionable. If both miss the game, the writer expects more carries for Micah Welch, DeKalon Taylor and Richard Young. The statuses do not confirm two absences, and the workload shift remains conditional. - Colorado center Demetrius Hunter remains out on the initial report for the 2026 Baylor game, while offensive linemen Chauncey Gooden and Leon Bell are probable. These are the supplied Wednesday designations, not final game-day clearance or an announced replacement starting line; the article gives no recovery timetable. - For Colorado's 2026 Baylor game, the initial availability report lists receiver Danny Scudero, cornerback Preston Ashley and linebacker Colby Johnson as out. Linebacker Bo LaPenna is questionable and defensive back Cree Thomas probable. The report establishes differing availability levels without supplying diagnoses or naming replacement starters. - Colorado's initial 2026 Baylor-week report lists punter/kicker Daniel Gerlach, defensive lineman Vili Taufatofua and tight end Charlie Williams as doubtful. Tight ends Zach Atkins and Fisher Clements are probable. Doubtful and probable remain the report's designations, not confirmed absences or unrestricted clearance; no new specialist duties or snap allocations are announced.

- QB: I thought I saw Marion talking about how the go go could fit any type of qb

- Coaching: EVANSTON — This weekend's Big 12 opener can't come soon enough for a Colorado team that was just embarrassed by Northwestern on Saturday night.

- QB/LB: I don’t think I have ever seen a college qb try to protect himself as much as juju.

- QB: He's an elite OC without a QB and a team that shoot themselves in the foot on offense with turnovers that killed any momentum and confidence

- QB: You portal in a true dual threat QB, and you have Sweetwyne and the true frosh to battle it out.

- Pick/market: EVANSTON — As expected, sloppy play in a sloppy environment made all the difference in the first half of Colorado's Saturday evening matchup at Northwestern.

- KICKER: Ben Finneseth - fmr walk on, 3rd string S, special teams player, stadium trash talker Meanwhile, you ignore the state of the art stadium next door and proceed to get blown out.

- KICKER: Understand what you are saying, but this is year four of bad penalties, poor clock management, poor special teams, lack of culture, lack of accountability etc.

- LB: This is easily the best pay to expectation/performance ratio in the country.

- Intel: Julian Lewis to Joseph Williams for a 50 yard score | #GoBuffs

- Intel: Bottom line- CU is not serious about football.

- Intel: Well CU is gonna move on from him next year: maybe go with sweatwyme and just use his running ability

- Intel: Juju has to get that first and then we fumble the next play.

- Intel: Perfectly designed play but JuJu can’t connect with a wide open Joseph Williams.

- Intel: Fontenette smokes Chiles for an easy sack and daps up the ref.

- Intel: Football, like Settlers of Catan, is a game of scarcity and specialization.
