Colorado Buffaloes Face Baylor in Big 12 Opener
26 Sep
Summary
- Buffaloes seek offensive rebound after recent losses.
- Quarterback Lewis needs improvement against Baylor.
- Key injuries impact Colorado's offensive depth.
The Colorado Buffaloes are set to face the Baylor Bears in their Big 12 opener, hoping to rebound from a significant Week 3 loss. Colorado's offense has struggled, averaging only 10.5 points against Power Four opponents, with quarterback Julian Lewis needing to improve his performance. Offensive miscues, including turnovers and failed fourth-down conversions, have hampered the team.
The Buffaloes' defense aims to capitalize on the potential mobility limitations of Baylor's quarterback, DJ Lagway, who is returning from an ankle injury. Colorado's pass rushers will be crucial in pressuring Lagway. However, Colorado faces significant injury challenges on offense, with key players like Danny Scudero and Demetrius Hunter out, and running back Damian Henderson II listed as doubtful.
