Colorado's QB Crisis Deepens as Deion Sanders Blames 'One Glaring Problem' for Third Straight Loss

The Colorado Buffaloes fell 29-7 to No. 10 Texas Tech on Saturday, marking their third consecutive defeat and dropping their record to 2-3. Head coach Deion Sanders cited a 'one glaring problem' at the quarterback position, where starter Isaac Wilson threw three interceptions in the second half. Despite a strong defensive performance that held a 7-3 halftime lead, Colorado failed to score after the opening drive. The loss highlights a persistent offensive struggle following the departure of Shedeur Sanders, with the team now facing a bye week before a critical matchup against No. 13 Utah.

Kentucky Court Ruling Casts Doubt on Texas Tech QB Castellanos for Colorado

Texas Tech’s Austin Romaine Returns Two Interceptions for Touchdowns in 15 Seconds

Texas Tech linebacker Austin Romaine returned two interceptions for touchdowns within 15 seconds of the second quarter, helping the Red Raiders defeat Sam Houston State 49-14. The feat marked the first time since 2013 a player achieved consecutive pick-sixes on back-to-back plays. Despite a rough first half for the team, Romaine’s performance shifted the game's momentum, leading to a dominant second-half run. NFL draft analysts rank Romaine variably, with some labeling him a 'downhill thumper,' while head coach Joey McGuire praised his ability to play freely after transferring from Kansas State.

Red Raiders Add Veteran Castellanos to QB Room

Red Raiders Add Veteran Castellanos to QB Room

Texas Tech landed former Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos, adding depth at QB as starter Will Hammond recovers from a torn ACL and after Brendan Sorsby stepped away from the program. Castellanos, a 2022 recruit who threw for 2,760 yards and 15 touchdowns with 557 rushing yards and nine rushing TDs in 2025 for Florida State, could also be used at wide receiver per his agent. He previously filed a Kentucky lawsuit over age-based eligibility, which helped him secure a fifth year of eligibility via a temporary restraining order. Tech is navigating ghost-transfer/eligibility rules amid partly uncertain QB plans, and Castellanos’ addition gives the Red Raiders more options ahead of a schedule that starts Sept. 5 vs Abilene Christian, followed by Oregon State and Houston.

McMurphy Reveals a Bold, Humorous Preseason AP Top 25 Ballot

Brett McMurphy shares his college football preseason AP Top 25 ballot, opening with Oregon at No. 1 (a self‑deprecating jab about ranking them too low) and listing Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Texas Tech just behind. The rest of the top 10 includes Texas, Indiana, Miami, Ole Miss, and Washington, followed by Texas A&M, Oklahoma, BYU, Michigan, LSU, SMU, Utah, Penn State, Houston, Alabama, Louisville, Tennessee, Arizona, Iowa, and USC.

Paxton donation ties political action to Big 12 clash over Texas Tech’s Sorsby case

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton reportedly received a $274,300 donation from Cody Campbell, chair of Texas Tech’s Board of Regents, one day before threatening to sue the Big 12 over sanctions related to Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s eligibility after a court injunction allowed him to play; the Big 12 sought a federal ruling to enforce its bylaws amid NCAA gambling violations, Sorsby later withdrew from Tech as the NFL paused the 2026 draft, and Campbell defended TTU’s handling as upholding student welfare.
