Colorado receivers shine but Buffaloes fall to Baylor in opener

Summary

The Colorado Buffaloes lost their Big 12 opener 23-13 against Baylor in Waco on Saturday. Despite a strong showing from receivers Joseph Williams and Quanell Farrakhan Jr., who combined for 244 receiving yards, inconsistency at quarterback hampered the Buffaloes' efforts. Julian Lewis started but was replaced by Isaac Wilson in the second half. The Buffaloes' struggling passing game has been a concern, especially as they prepare for upcoming tough matchups against Texas Tech and Utah. Coach Deion Sanders will need to address these issues quickly to improve their prospects in the next games.
