Colorado’s offense hits a historic low as Coach Prime is forced to start a fifth quarterback in just seven games. After a 57-24 defeat to Oklahoma State, true freshman Kaneal Sweetwyne replaces struggling transfer Isaac Wilson, who had a promising 14-of-16 first‑half performance but fumbled and threw two interceptions in the second half. Sweetwyne’s brief stint includes a 51‑yard pass, but the Buffaloes remain 2-5 overall and winless in the Big 12. Since Shedeur Sanders left for the 2025 NFL Draft, Colorado has cycled through Kaidon Salter, Ryan Staub, Julian Lewis, Wilson and now Sweetwyne, dropping from first to 13th in conference passing rankings and jeopardizing a bowl bid.

Calvin Russell III delivered a career‑night for Syracuse, catching eight passes for 86 yards, scoring the game‑winning touchdown and the decisive two‑point conversion in overtime as the Orange edged North Carolina 31‑30 in Chapel Hill. The victory ends a 12‑game ACC losing streak and highlights three takeaways: Russell’s emergence as a reliable deep threat, Ahmad Miller’s 125‑yard, one‑touchdown effort that steadied third‑down conversions, and lingering issues—penalties and a shaky kicking unit that missed five extra points and seven field goals this season. The win could prove pivotal for the Orange’s season trajectory.
