Overview
- The defeat in Morgantown was Colorado's seventh of the season, dropping the team to 3-7 and ending bowl eligibility.
- In his first collegiate start, Julian Lewis completed 22 of 35 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.
- Sanders says he intends to play Lewis in the remaining regular-season games, a decision that would cost the quarterback a redshirt under the four-game rule.
- Lewis said he wants to continue playing this season rather than preserve a year of eligibility.
- Protection issues persisted as Lewis was sacked seven times with left tackle Jordan Seaton unavailable, and Colorado now enters a bye before facing Arizona State and Kansas State.
