Deion Sanders’ addressed Julian Lewis status earlier this week Earlier this week, Sanders addressed whether or not Lewis would get another shot at earning back the starting quarterback job this season. Coach Prime kept his words short and sweet, saying that the opportunity to do so ‘is on him’. “That’s on him. That’s on him. It’s a great question, but that’s on him,” Sanders said. “I don’t think you can find a player in this program, or you can find some better players and left and didn’t wanna leave, but life is what it is. But, I don’t treat people unfairly. I don’t play games with young men and their careers and hate on folks. If I’m anything, I’m too forgiving. And, I’m very, very kind. I don’t play those games with kids.” Dating back to last season, Colorado has lost 14 of its last 19 games. The Buffaloes will close out the regular season with games against Kansas State, Arizona State, No. 18 Houston, Cincinnati, and UCF.
