Julian Lewis Throws 4 First-Half TD Passes, Runs for Another, as Colorado Beats Weber State 52-21
Lewis completed 15 of 18 passes for 331 yards and tied Colorado’s school mark for any half with four touchdown passes.
On Saturday, Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Julian Lewis set a program record with 211 passing yards in the first quarter, leading his team to a 52-21 victory over Weber State at Folsom Field.
Playing within the 'Go-Go' offense implemented by coordinator Brennan Marion, Lewis orchestrated a dominant first half; the 18-year-old finished with 331 passing yards and an 83 percent completion rate.
Lewis threw three touchdown passes in the opening quarter, connecting with DeAndre Moore Jr. for 66 yards, Joseph Williams for 63 yards, and Ernest Campbell for 48 yards, tying a school record for an opening half.
Coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes moved to 2-0 with the win; Sanders has shown confidence in his sophomore starter, whose "performance created opportunities for the Buffaloes" offense throughout the game.
Following the victory, Colorado will travel to face the Northwestern Wildcats next Saturday as the team aims to extend its undefeated start to the 2026 season.
