While the Buffs are 3-7 and won't be playing in a bowl, the game against Arizona State will be Senior Night for a number of Colorado players as they play in Folsom Field for the final time. In a 2025 season that has featured many late-night kickoffs, playing under the lights for one last night is a fitting end to the year.

It's the end of the road for some, but Buffaloes quarterback Julian Lewis' career at Colorado is just beginning. Lewis did not begin the season as Colorado's starter, but he has flashed his potential since replacing quarterback Kaidon Salter.

In Colorado's 29-22 loss to West Virginia on the road, Lewis finished the game with 299 passing yards and two touchdowns, completing 62.9 percent of his passes. The young quarterback was sacked seven times by the West Virginia defense, however, as Colorado's offensive line was dealing with some injuries before the bye week.

Sims can beat defenses with his arm and his legs, and the Buffs will be challenged by his dual-threat abilities. In Arizona State's win over Iowa State, Sims rushed for 228 yards and two touchdowns while also passing for 177 yards and another touchdown. More recently, Sims threw for 207 yards and three touchdowns against West Virginia.
