Last season [autotag]Brendon Lewis[/autotag] was the primary quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes. Going into this season there are five passers on scholarship but it is a two-horse race to be named the starter.
J.T. Shrout is also vying for the starting job once again. He arrived in Boulder last season after transferring from the Tennessee Volunteers. He and Lewis had a heated battle last fall before a knee injury ended Shrout’s season.
Not only is the decision huge for the offense but for head coach Karl Dorrell’s future. He is likely facing the hot seat if the Buffaloes don’t improve from their 4-8 (3-6) campaign in 2021.
