Colorado quarterback Isaac Wilson is expected to start against No. 12 Texas Tech on Saturday, sources confirmed to ESPN. Wilson has been receiving reps with the Buffaloes' No. 1 offense in practice this week ahead of the matchup.
Wilson took over for Julian Lewis during Colorado's 23-13 loss to Baylor, when he sparked a second-half rally, per CBS Sports. Lewis, a prized recruit, averaged just 5.1 yards per pass against FBS opponents this season. The move represents a significant shift for Deion Sanders' offense as the Buffaloes look to turn around their season.
One outlet referred to Lewis as "JuJu Lewis" in its reporting, a discrepancy in how the quarterback's name was identified.
