Colorado's Air Attack Dominates Weber State

The Colorado Buffaloes delivered a dominant performance in their home opener, securing a decisive 52-21 victory over Weber State. Quarterback Julian Lewis emerged as a standout player, exhibiting elite form with 366 passing yards and four touchdowns, alongside a rushing score. His performance, marked by confident play and excellent decision-making, suggests a bright future for the Buffaloes' offense.

Beyond the air attack, Colorado's ground game also showed strength. Running back Micah Welch achieved a historic milestone, becoming the first player under Coach Deion Sanders to rush for over 100 yards in a game, accumulating 106 yards and a 55-yard touchdown. The receiving corps also impressed, with Joseph Williams and DeAndre Moore Jr. each surpassing 100 receiving yards and scoring crucial long touchdowns, highlighting the team's formidable passing game.

While the Buffaloes' run defense showed improvement from the previous season, allowing fewer yards than their 2023 average, areas for solidification were noted, particularly concerning missed tackles. Despite these minor concerns, the overall strength of the offense, led by Lewis and a talented group of receivers and running backs, positions Colorado as a potential contender in a competitive Big 12 conference this season.
