Lewis Throws Four TDs as Colorado Cruises Past Weber State
Colorado improved to 2-0 with a 52-21 win over Weber State. Sophomore quarterback Julian Lewis completed 17 of 23 passes for 366 yards and four touchdowns, adding a rushing score. The Buffaloes led 42-14 at halftime and coasted to victory.
Lewis’s explosive first quarter set the tone, as he connected on scoring strikes of 66, 63, and 48 yards to build an early cushion. His four touchdown passes and one rushing score by halftime marked a significant improvement over his modest Week 1 output, allowing the Buffaloes to rest their starters for the remainder of the second half.
The victory marks Colorado’s first 2-0 start since 2023 and provides a strong response following a challenging three-win season. The team now shifts focus to a road matchup against Northwestern, aiming to sustain the offensive momentum generated by their sophomore quarterback’s breakout performance.
This dominant win could solidify Colorado’s status as a rising contender in the Big 12 and boost confidence within the program. A strong start may also increase national media attention on Coach Sanders and elevate the team’s recruiting profile. For fans, the early success could restore optimism after last year’s struggles, potentially increasing engagement and attendance as the season progresses.
