Julian Lewis and the Buffaloes' QB Future | Colorado Buffaloes Football News

When Julian Lewis sparked controversy with comments about watching more defensive film, offensive coordinator Brennan Marion jumped in to defend him—clarifying Lewis was talking about his own growth, not criticizing the staff. The fallout came after Lewis’s remarks at Big 12 Media Days, reigniting debates about Coach Deion Sanders and Pat Shurmur’s coaching after a brutal 3-9 season. Lewis, a freshman QB with limited snaps, is far from alone in facing the pressure of the spotlight—many young QBs have stumbled publicly, reminding us that perfection isn’t expected. Marion’s defense follows Shurmur’s move to quarterbacks coach last fall, and while the offense struggled, the staff still believes in Lewis—or backup Kaidon Salter. Now, with the season opener against Georgia Tech looming, the Buffaloes are counting on Lewis and Marion to turn things around and deliver a winning record and a bowl bid.
