It wasn't much of a decision for Deion Sanders this week to determine who would start at QB for Colorado this weekend against West Virginia.

During his Tuesday press conference, Deion Sanders confirmed what many saw coming: freshman QB Julian Lewis will make his first career start this weekend when Colorado travels to Morgantown to face West Virginia.

Lewis will replace senior Kaidon Salter, who has had an up-and-down season for the Buffaloes since transferring from Liberty. He's been ineffective the last two weeks in Colorado's blowout losses to Utah and Arizona.
