By Cam Sutton , RF Sports Radio Colorado voice Buffs fans, that one is going to sting all week. Colorado was down 13-0 and looked finished, took the lead in the third quarter, and had the ball at the end with a shot. It still came up short against an unbeaten Utah team. The facts No. 11 Utah beat Colorado 27-24 on Saturday night, Oct. 17, at Folsom Field before a sellout crowd of 52,489, per Utah Athletics and the AP. Utah led 13-0 at halftime after outgaining Colorado 248-70, per CoTrib's recap. Three plays into the second half, Isaac Wilson hit JaQuail Smith on a 68-yard touchdown, and DeKalon Taylor's touchdown run gave Colorado a 14-13 lead — the first time Utah had trailed since Week 2 . Naeten Mitchell intercepted Devon Dampier, and Elliott Arnold's 32-yard field goal made it 17-13. Utah answered with Dampier's 16-yard touchdown pass to Braden Pegan. Then, with 5:09 left, James Chenault Jr. intercepted Wilson and returned it to the Colorado 22, and Pegan ...

By Cam Sutton , RF Sports Radio Colorado voice Buffs fans, Family Weekend just turned into a national television stress test. No. 11 Utah is unbeaten, Isaac Wilson is starting against the program that used to employ him, and Folsom Field gets a late ESPN window. The facts Colorado (2-3, 0-2 Big 12) hosts No. 11 Utah (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 8:15 p.m. Mountain / 9:15 p.m. Central on ESPN at Folsom Field in a Family Weekend Rumble in the Rockies, per CUBuffs.com.

In his first Colorado start against Texas Tech, Wilson set career highs with 26 completions, 290 passing yards and 42 rushing yards while throwing thre...

By Cam Sutton , RF Sports Radio Colorado voice Buffs fans, you could not script it better if you tried. A quarterback who used to wear Utah red, a Utah team that is unbeaten and ranked, and a late-night national window at Folsom Field. The facts Colorado (2-3, 0-2 Big 12) hosts No. 11 Utah (5-0) on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 8:15 p.m. Mountain / 9:15 p.m. Central on ESPN at Folsom Field, per CBS Sports and the Salt Lake Tribune. Coach Deion Sanders confirmed that Isaac Wilson, who transferred to Colorado from Utah, will start against his former team , per USA TODAY. It will be Wilson's second straight start after he replaced Julian Lewis in the loss to Texas Tech. In that first Colorado start, Wilson threw three interceptions, per USA TODAY. The Salt Lake Tribune first framed the possibility of Wilson facing the Utes earlier in the week, and CBS Sports' preview leans into the former-team storyline. RF Sports Radio's take (opinion) My take: revenge games make great ...

By Cam Sutton , RF Sports Radio Colorado voice Buffs fans, the speculation is over. Isaac Wilson is starting against the school he left — and Folsom Field is about to find out whether a revenge narrative can survive a ranked Utah defense. The facts Colorado coach Deion Sanders confirmed Tuesday, Oct. 13, that Utah transfer quarterback Isaac Wilson will start Saturday against No. 11 Utah at Folsom Field, per USA TODAY. It will be Wilson's second consecutive start for the Buffaloes after he replaced Julian Lewis. In his first Colorado start, a 29-7 loss to Texas Tech, Wilson completed 26 of 44 passes for 290 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions . Colorado is 2-3 and on a three-game losing streak; Utah is 5-0. Sanders said Wilson is "always up to the task" and, with humor, said he told Wilson to "make sure you throw the ball to the guys on our team" after the interceptions. Sanders also said Colorado does not want to throw 40-plus times and pr...

By Cam Sutton , RF Sports Radio Colorado voice Buffs fans, the quarterback room is still a committee, and the opponent is the one that knows Isaac Wilson best. Folsom under the lights against No. 11 Utah is not the week you hide a decision. The facts No. 11 Utah visits Colorado on Saturday, Oct. 17, at Folsom Field with a kick window around 8:15/9:15 p.m. Central on ESPN, per Colorado's game notes. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that ex-Utah quarterback Isaac Wilson, out of Corner Canyon, could make his second start for the Buffaloes . Wilson struggled in his first look against Texas Tech with three interceptions and one touchdown . Julian Lewis and Kaneal Sweetwyne remain options in Coach Prime's room. Utah coach Scalley has already downplayed the familiarity angle, saying it is not as big a deal as the revenge narrative suggests. Colorado also has Stokes Jr., an ex-Utah cornerback, on the roster. The CU notes PDF dated Oct. 13 frames the Utah week around those roster ...

By Cam Sutton , RF Sports Radio Colorado Buffaloes voice Buffs fans, the bye week is almost over, and Colorado still hasn't said who's playing quarterback against the best team on its schedule. The facts Here's how we got here. Julian Lewis was benched at halftime of the Week 4 loss at Baylor, per Fanrecap. For the Oct. 3 game against Texas Tech, Deion Sanders started Isaac Wilson, and SI's Buffaloes site reported Lewis was the No. 3 option that day. Colorado led 7-3 at halftime and lost 29-7 after a 26-0 second half, per Newsweek. Wilson went 26-of-44 for 190 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions . In four games, Lewis has thrown for 733 yards with six touchdowns, two interceptions and a 47.7 QBR, per Newsweek. Freshman Kaneal Sweetwyne also took a couple of snaps against Texas Tech. Sanders didn't hide from it. "We got one glaring problem and you guys know what it is," he said after the Texas Tech loss, per SI. "We have to play b...

Buffs fans, Colorado didn't play Saturday. The team coming to Boulder next week did, and it looked like a contender. No. 12 Utah beat Kansas 41-24 at a sold-out Rice-Eccles Stadium to go 5-0 and 2-0 in the Big 12, per UtahUtes.com. The game was moved up to 6 p.m. Mountain because of weather. The Utes have won all five games by at least 14 points, the fourth Utah team to do that (1953, 1994 and 2004 were the others). Their 11-game winning streak dating to last season is the longest active run in the Big 12. They've also scored 30 or more in 11 straight games , which Utah says is the longest streak in the nation. Devon Dampier is the problem. He went 23-of-30 for 238 yards with three touchdowns and one interception, and he ran 17 times for 71 yards and another score. He is 15-2 as Utah's starter and has 1,041 rushing yards in two seasons. Running back Wayshawn Parker ran for 171 yards and two touchdowns, including a 90-yard score in the fourth quarter that put the game ...

Buffs fans, the bye week has been loud, and most of the noise is coming from outside the building. On The Matt Barrie Show, ESPN's Paul Finebaum zeroed in on one play from the 29-7 loss to Texas Tech: Isaac Wilson's interception from his own end zone that linebacker John Curry caught for a touchdown. "When the last image of a program's last breath is your quarterback in his own end zone throwing a pick-six, it's over," Finebaum said, per SI's Marvin Uzor. Barrie floated the idea of an eventual "amicable divorce" between Sanders and CU. SI is careful to point out that was a possibility Barrie raised, not news of any talks, and that Colorado extended Sanders' contract through 2029 in March 2025. The numbers behind the criticism are real. Colorado is 2-3 and has scored 27 points total in losses to Northwestern, Baylor and Texas Tech. The Buffs outgained Tech 375-315 and still lost because of four interceptions, three of them by Wilson. ...

Buffs fans, the 29-7 final against Texas Tech looked ugly. The film on the defense looks a lot better. Colorado's athletics department released a piece Thursday on defensive lineman Sanata Hopper, and the numbers are wild. Against Texas Tech, Hopper had 10 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and five quarterback hurries, all career highs. CU says he's the first player in program history with at least five tackles for loss and five hurries in the same game. Citing PFF, the school says he's also the first FBS defensive lineman to post those numbers since 2020, a span of almost 10,000 games. The Buffs had 12 tackles for loss as a team, and Hopper was in on half of them. The unit as a whole showed up. Texas Tech came in averaging 36.2 points a game and had just 12 through three quarters, with the game 12-7 heading into the fourth. It was still a one-score game with 7:10 left before the Red Raiders scored two late touchdowns. Tech finished with 134 passing yards , its lowest of ...

Buffs fans, the bye week now has a finish line, and it's a late one. Utah announced that its Oct. 17 game at Folsom Field kicks off at 8:15 p.m. Mountain time, 9:15 p.m. Central , on ESPN or ESPN2, with the final network set after the Oct. 10 games. It's the 73rd meeting. The No. 12 Utes (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) have won eight of the last nine in the series and 12 of the last 14, and Colorado (2-3, 0-2) comes in on a three-game losing streak. Buffaloes Wire notes Utah leads the Big 12 at 43.3 points per game behind dual-threat QB Devon Dampier, and last year's meeting in Salt Lake City ended 53-7 Utah. With the quarterback job still open, SI's Marvin Uzor makes the case for four Buffs to get more work. Freshman QB Kaneal Sweetwyne has been limited to a trick-play package: a 7-yard completion to Isaac Wilson on the first snap against Texas Tech and a fourth-down incompletion from the Tech 4. Running back Damian Henderson II turned three carries into 19 yards while the re...

Buffs fans, Coach Prime isn't taking this off week off — and after Saturday, can you blame him? "The team is practicing all week ," a Colorado spokesman told USA Today's Brent Schrotenboer on Monday, after the 29-7 home loss to Texas Tech dropped the Buffaloes to 2-3. The spokesman also said Julian "JuJu" Lewis "is still part of the competition for the starting quarterback job," after Lewis was benched at halftime at Baylor and didn't play against Tech. Schrotenboer's list goes beyond the quarterback: only nine Buffs lined up for a Tech field goal even after a timeout, Colorado missed field goals from 29 and 52 yards, the team ranks 129th nationally in punt returns, and a playbook was reportedly left at the team hotel. He also notes Sanders is 2-13 against Power Four opponents since the end of the 2024 season and 18-24 overall in Boulder. Sanders on Oct. 3: "We're going to work. We're going to right the wrongs." K...

Buffs radio — the QB carousel has a starter for Saturday. Multiple outlets — On3, CBS Sports, and ESPN sources — confirm Isaac Wilson will start for Colorado against ranked Texas Tech at Folsom Field after taking first-team practice reps. Coach Prime benched Julian Lewis following inconsistent FBS play; Wilson sparked the second half of the 23-13 loss to Baylor with 156 yards and a touchdown. Colorado sits 2-2 and 0-1 in the Big 12 entering a top-tier Red Raiders defense. Kickoff is Saturday afternoon/evening Mountain time at Folsom — check local listings for the exact window. Sanders has been careful not to crown anyone on every podium, but the practice pecking order and multi-outlet confirmation point one way. For Colorado Football (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Colorado%20Football), the radio question: does Wilson’s Baylor spark become a full-game starter’s reel, or is Folsom another short leash under the lights?

Buffs radio — the carousel stopped. Isaac Wilson gets the ball. On3, RotoWire, and Colorado Buffaloes Wire report Wilson will start Saturday against No. 11 Texas Tech at Folsom Field after taking all first-team practice reps. That advances yesterday’s “expected to start” chatter into a firmer Week 5 plan. Wilson replaced Julian Lewis in the second half of the 23-13 loss to Baylor, throwing for 156 yards and a touchdown. Lewis, the prized reclass recruit, has been inconsistent against FBS foes; Coach Prime had already signaled the leash was short. Colorado sits 2-2 and 0-1 in the Big 12 entering a top-15 Red Raiders defense. Sanders has been careful not to crown anyone on every podium, but the practice pecking order and multi-outlet confirmation point one way.

Boulder, the headset drama is official — Coach Prime just put the QB room on notice. After Colorado’s 23-13 Big 12-opening loss at Baylor, Deion Sanders explained pulling starter Julian Lewis at halftime for Utah transfer Isaac Wilson. Lewis was 11-of-16 for 75 yards before the hook. Wilson was shaky, then settled in and sparked a long TD drive. Sanders took responsibility for the switch: “We gotta get going, we gotta score some points.” The Buffs are 2-2, 0-1 Big 12, stuck on third-down woes and a growing penalty problem that USA Today’s Buffaloes Wire flagged again Monday. Sanders told Wilson he doesn’t have to “be the man” — just distribute. Whether that means a full-time flip or a committee remains the week’s storyline. Next for Colorado Football (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Colorado%20Football): TEST Texas Tech at Folsom Field this Saturday. Home crowd, Big 12 gauntlet, and an open question under center — Folsom will be loud either way. Sources: DNVR (https://t...

Coach Prime's Buffs opened Big 12 play with a road loss that will fuel the QB conversation all week. Colorado fell 23-13 at Baylor on Saturday despite outgaining the Bears 363-337. The killer: 3-of-15 on third down and 0-for-2 on fourth. Deion Sanders afterward: "You're not going to win like that." Isaac Wilson entered in the second half and sparked a 95-yard TD drive, hitting Joseph Williams for a 17-yard score to tie it 13-13 early in the fourth. Wilson finished 12-of-25 for 156 yards and a TD. Williams caught 11 passes for 127 yards; Quanell Farrakhan Jr. had seven for 117. Julian Lewis started; Sanders framed the switch as a one-game look with evaluation still ahead.
