Former University of Utah quarterback Isaac Wilson saw significant playing time for Colorado in their Big 12 opener against Baylor.

He led the Buffaloes on two scoring drives, including a crucial touchdown that tied the game at 13-13 with just over 11 minutes remaining.

The Bears scored 10 unanswered points in the final quarter to clinch the win. Coach Deion Sanders stated that the team needs to "reassess and see where we're going" regarding the quarterback position, while also expressing confidence in Lewis's effort and heart.
Wilson completed 12 of 25 passes for 156 yards and one touchdown in his extended appearance. Colorado's offense struggled in the first half, scoring only three points before the quarterback change. The team will now prepare for their next matchup against No. 11 Texas Tech.
