Overview

• Sanders confirmed that Julian “JuJu” Lewis, a 17-year-old five-star who reclassified, will see snaps against Delaware on Saturday.
• He declined to name a starter, reiterating only that Lewis will play and sidestepping whether the freshman will open over Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter.
• Salter’s debut produced 159 passing yards, a passing score and a rushing touchdown, yet Colorado converted three early takeaways into just seven points.
• Defending his choice to keep two timeouts on the final drive, Sanders also backed coordinators Pat Shurmur and Robert Livingston after the defense yielded 463 yards, including 320 rushing and a late 45-yard TD by Haynes King.
• Sanders said Lewis’s involvement was always planned and urged Salter to use his legs more without “babysitting,” as Colorado looks to reset at home.
