Overview

• ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Ryan Staub is expected to start Friday at Houston, with multiple outlets noting he worked with the first unit in practice.
• Staub, previously third on the depth chart, went 7-of-10 for 157 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-7 win over Delaware after entering late in the first half.
• Deion Sanders said the Delaware plan gave each quarterback two series to “tell its own story” and later declined to publicly detail his longer-term decision.
• Transfer Kaidon Salter started the first two games and five-star freshman Julian Lewis also saw time, but offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur praised Staub’s preparation and play-calling input.
• National voices such as Robert Griffin III urged Colorado to hand Staub the job, while Newsweek reported mixed fan reaction to the expected change.
