ALERT: Julian Lewis Officially Named Starting QB For Deion Sanders, Here's What to Expect

Julian Lewis Named Colorado’s QB1, Go-Go Offense Hype, & Bold Georgia Tech Predictions | Locked on Buffs The wait is over: Colorado officially announces Julian Lewis as the starting quarterback, quelling chatter and confirming what insiders long expected. The five-star USC flip enters Week 1 vs. Georgia Tech as the face of the revamped Buffaloes, with eyes on living up to the NIL hype and ushering in a new era in Boulder. But can he deliver under the bright lights and the pressure of a “homecoming” road trip? Kevin Borba and Jay Smith dissect Lewis’s readiness, why fans may have overreacted to the delayed announcement, and what makes this Georgia Tech opener eerily reminiscent of the headline-grabbing TCU upset of 2023. Calm command, deep-ball effectiveness, and early-season nerves are all in play as Jay emphasizes the need for Lewis to show poise, push the ball downfield, and leverage his precision in Brendan Marion’s quarterback-friendly “Go-Go” offense. Beyond X’s and O’s, the conversation pivots to why Brendan Marion’s obsessive preparation and high-voltage mentality could serve as Colorado’s X factor—not only for the opener but for a breakthrough campaign. Could Marion be a head coach in waiting if “Coach Prime” ever steps aside? Kevin Borba lays out three bold predictions: the Buffs rushing for 100+ yards for the first time in the Prime era, forcing three turnovers, and beating Georgia Tech by double digits. Jay rates each on the “crazy” scale, pushing back on turnover luck but admitting the opener is as unpredictable as they come. Both agree: Week 1 is college football’s biggest mirage, but a statement win in Atlanta could light a spark for this new-look squad. Will Julian Lewis seize his moment and silence the doubters? Can the Go-Go offense click right away? And is Colorado primed to pull off another season-opening stunner? All that and more in this high-energy episode of Locked on Buffs.
