WHY? College Football Insider DOUBTS Julian Lewis in a Major Way

The conversation focused on the perception of Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Julian Lewis after a college football expert left him out of the Big 12’s top 10 quarterbacks. One concept discussed was the path for Lewis to break into those rankings: improving efficiency, distributing the ball to playmakers, and protecting the football were highlighted as crucial areas for his development this season. The discussion explored Big 12 quarterback rankings, comparing Lewis to the likes of Devin Dampier, Drew Messmaker, and DJ Lagway, and speculated how Lewis could climb the list if he realizes his potential.  A key theme that emerged was the identification of make-or-break “X factors” for Colorado’s upcoming campaign. Several points were raised, including Tulane transfer Santana Hopper’s potential to transform the defensive line, the unique journey and importance of receiver Danny Scudero, and Texas transfer Leona Lafau’s role in solidifying the linebacker corps. The versatility of Boo Carter on defense and the under-the-radar breakout potential of tight end Zach Atkinson were framed as pivotal for the Buffaloes’ success.  The conversation shifted to offensive coordinator Brendan Marion’s candid assessment of Colorado’s offensive line and quarterback room. Marion’s comparison of Julian Lewis to a second-year Quinn Ewers, and his bold claim that Colorado’s offensive line is better than the one he coached at Texas (outside of top draft pick Kelvin Banks), set a tone of rising confidence in Boulder. The discussion acknowledged the long-standing struggles of the Buffs' offensive front and suggested Marion’s blend of unpredictability and belief could be transformative. With renewed leadership, a more physical offensive line, and a roster full of potential difference-makers, the outlook for Colorado is one of cautious optimism. Can Lewis and the new X factors flip the Big 12 narrative and restore faith in the Buffaloes? The road to a breakthrough season may just run through Marion’s swagger and Lewis’ ascent.
