The Colorado QB might have had the single best debut in school history. He put up a school-record 510 yards and 4 touchdowns, completed 38/47 passes, extended plays with his legs, dropped dimes when he needed to most, and ultimately led CU to their most important victory since the 2016 win over Utah. He is so composed, so polished and so focused, it’s ridiculous. Words cannot do justice just how good he was.
It also cannot be overstated how important it is to have such a dynamic and capable quarterback. The Buffs haven’t had a truly good quarterback since Joel Klatt’s senior year — Sefo was the heart of the 2016 team but was banged up all year, Montez was elite on his day but frustratingly inconsistent.
